I’m dealing with spider mites right now on a different plant too, so feel your pain. Try washing your plant off and really wash the underside down where the spider mites make their web. If your plant tolerates insecticide spray, try neem oil. Keep this plant isolated from other plants and repeat the treatment every week for the next three weeks or more. The spider mites are persistent. If it’s a really bad infestation and you have other plants, consider getting rid of your plant. Good luck

2 Cups Distilled Water  
2 Tablespoons Neem Oil  
1 Tablespoon Peppermint Castile Soap  
1 Teaspoon Isopropyl Alcohol

Rub it in with a microfiber glove really being sure to get the back of the plant leaves or wherever you see the most pests. Repeat every few days until they’re gone.
