# This calathea vittata had spider mites that I got rid of two weeks…

_Posted by Lailani on 2024-08-09_

This calathea vittata had spider mites that I got rid of two weeks ago. I’ve cut most of the leaves on it because they were extremely dry and curled. Currently I have the plant by a humidifier in hopes that the remaining leaves will uncurl. Is there anything else I can do to save the plant? (I included a before and after pic of the plant)
