Foxy Lady:That sounds just like a mint we have . It's called catmint and after it's mowed it smells nice for quite a while, and it is a little bit invasive.

Sounds like you have spider mites.
They are tiny and difficult to see but the webs are a dead giveaway.

Insecticidal soap is sold at any nursery or garden store and is not harmful to the enviornment.

You must spray several times per the instructions on the label to be effective and kill the adults and the larvae.
Good luck!

WatfordFC:

I have searched google to try to find a picture of a betulia but had no luck
All I could surmise is that it is a variety of begonia....perhaps similar to a rex begonia. Is it an indoor plant? I know that rex begonias can be tricky as too much or too little water can kill them quickly. Also it is suseptible to spider mite infestation.

I wonder if you could plant some orchids on your driftwood, if your winters are so mild. You don't really plant them, more like attach them with some moss and wire or string and the roots grow into the crevases.
