HELP

I found what I think was a spider mite on my newest plant, I’ve sprayed and wiped down the leaves with neem oil twice (and put the plant in time out lol) how can I fix this? I don’t want to toss it :(

Shower the foliage once a week. And keep applying the neem, if that's the pesticide you prefer. Spider mites hate cold and moisture, so making it inhospitable for them helps too. Ex: slightly cooling the plant if it's under a warm growlight, and misting daily to up humidity.

What Wolfen said above, plus I added Flying Skull as a treatment. It can stress the plant if you make it too strong, but I saved my vintage Thanksgiving Cactus!
