    While neem is a great prevention tool... if your already seeing them, its too late for neem... id suggest going in with a 3% rubbing alchol and some water to really get them gone ✌️

    I’ve dealt with this: 1. Hose it down thoroughly 2. Spray with insecticidal soap 3. Repeat every 4 days for ~2 weeks 4. Light misting between treatments 5. DO NOT spray in direct sun. Night time is best so spray can dry without burning leaves when sun hits. Step 1: Physically remove as many mites as possible • Take the plant to a sink or shower • Spray it down firmly with lukewarm water • Focus on undersides of leaves This alone removes a huge portion of mites and eggs Step 2: Treat with Insecticidal soap Brands like Safer Soap work well • Coat all surfaces, especially undersides (Alternate w step 3 is major infestation otherwise you can stick w the Safer Soap. If infestation is heavier see below/step 3: Day 1: Rinse plant, apply insecticidal soap Day 4–5: Apply Bonide horticultural oil Then alternate every 4–5 days Step 3. Horticultural oil • Smothers mites and eggs Works more effectively than Neem try Bonide!!) spray all leaves (between and undersides) and between and close stem base. Step 4: Repeat!! If you don’t repeat, they come right back Spider mites hatch fast. • Reapply every 3–5 days • Continue for at least 2–3 weeks
