My PPP has spider mites. 😞 how do I get rid of these things? They killed one of my other plants because I noticed them too late and that plant had root rot. Can I save my PPP?

Rinse that baby off in the shower and isolate in another room if possible. Take a look at the other plants it was next to, they can spread far quickly. Then buy or make a spider mite spray and use it according to the package or weekly.

This YouTube channel has lots of informative content and a spider mite video that does into detail on what to do and has a DIY recipe for pest control
