    Hi
    I have few Tulsi (holy basil) plants at home.
    I am noticing, that something is eating up the green leaves of these Tulsis.

    What i can see r many small white flies or mites which I heard don't really do any harm, but I am not sure. But everyday i see so many leaves which are being eaten, some totally some half and sometimes I notice holes also and some marks also.
    I have given soap baths to Tulsi also but it doesn't look to help.
    Please guide me as I am bit worried.

    Thanks
    nitgrg
