I misted my peperomia plant today and notice tiny webbing. Would these be considered spider mites? I did find a tiny baby spider in my room yesterday so I'm not sure if these are spider mites. Needless to say my plants will be getting sprayed with neem oil or something now
Eeeks yes definitely spider mites
3 likes Spray with neem oil and water mix after you take it to the shower to rinse off all the spider mites. Also, I’d add a bit of neem oil to the water you use to water it

Make sure not to put it back under any grow or direct light after neem, as you can end up with burnt leaves on top of the pest

I used castilesoap and water because it smells way less horrific and it works great on spider mites. Rinse the plant well under water then spray with the soap mix every couple of days for a eeek or so and they should be gone. Has worked wonders for me the several times I’ve had them on my alocasias. I now do a monthly spray down with it in my plant room and it’s been wonderful
