Two spot spider mites keep coming back! My Calathea white fusion… | Prayer Plant Allies | Planta 커뮤니티

Two spot spider mites keep coming back! My Calathea white fusion keeps getting small infestations of mites. Nothing seems to work to get rid of them except beneficial insects (predatory spider mites), but they’re pricey. My Calathea reacts badly to neem, soap, and alcohol spray, so I can’t use that. Humidity in the room is good enough for my orchids, so I assume it’s OK for my Calathea. But the mites still return. Has anyone tried Arber bio insecticide and does it work? What about systemic insecticides that spider mites are not immune to? Any advice is appreciated.

      What do you do to control the spider mites?

      I rinse the plant and spray it with mighty mint. This is supposedly to get rid of spiders and ants which I have a lot but they still come back

    So there is no (water in) systemic that kills mites. What’s worked for me and not damaged any of my plants leaves even my calathea’s, is this video (can’t share links here, it’s a YouTube vid) I didn’t repot like she did and my plants were fine.
