Help! First time philo mican parent here and I’m wondering if this is spider mite damage? I just purchased and I’m wondering if I can/should save her and how to do so?

SunnyIt’s hard to tell from the photos if it’s spider mites. Look for fine webbing across and between the leaves. Look for the mites. Some of the white looks like salt deposits from fertilizer or hard water. You can treat with neem oil to be safe. Some of the dark segments on the back of the leaves could be edema from excess water going into the leaves and stems. Water only when the soil dries down (slightly limp leaves). Good indirect light and good air flow to evaporate excess moisture in the soil. 🍀🪴

This is how it looked before I cleaned it up a bit. I did not see webbing but I’ll definitely use some neem oil just in case. Thank you for the advice!
