guess the mites can come home with hose plant from the grocery store of nursery:
cornell university :
Tarsonemid mites

Cyclamen and broad mites are becoming more common in greenhouse ornamentals, possibly related to increased use of vegetatively propagated material. Cyclamen mite overwinters outdoors in much of the northern US and broad mite is mainly an indoor pest except in warmer areas or seasons. Both mites cause similar plant symptoms, distortion and stunting of new growth, that are sometimes mistaken initially for injury due to cultural, environmental, or herbicide problems. Cyclamen mite seems to be more associated with death of terminal buds, but broad mite often also causes a severe bronzing of the undersurface of leaves (e.g. on gerbera, begonia), stems and even flowers or fruit. Broad mite can ‘hitchhike’ on feet of whiteflies to uninfested plants, so controlling whiteflies and possibly other insects may help in containing an outbreak.. Both have wide host ranges, including herbaceous and some woody ornamentals. For example, we have seen bronzing and cupping of foliage on deciduous azalea from broad mite and stunting of new growth on privet associated with cyclamen mite.

. Trying to Figure out.what to use for spray that Won't kill the predators I m going to add at flower. I think I'll call some of these companies that have the beneficial predators and ask questions about when to apply and so forth. They should have all the answers.
