Noted Mat, Haworthia truncata hybrid

Thanks for the replies and advice, I was unsure about leaving or trimming the roots as thee root loss over the last two weeks was alarming. I will trim and dust with sulfur and as suggested repot it into a mineral substrate. I had suspected it was a hybrid of some kind, the leaves didn't look quite ...

I'll certainly check in Spring for signs of mite activity, probably periodically before then. The infestation I had was Brevipalpus mites as opposed to the two spot RSM, apparently they doore damage and there are no web signs.

Checked some previously obviously infested cacti under the Microscope last week, everything still looks clear I would say that Killermite works.

I have tried drawing a bead of silicone around the outside of the base, obviously not enough. I'll probably do the same inside, my concern is the moisture and humidity over the winter. Hopefully heater and thermostat at 7 degrees combined with ventilation should keep my collection safe.
