I have a Croton Mammy that got a small spider mite infestation. I added some Bonide systemic granules to its soil and every day I wipe down the leaves with water and then spray it with insecticidal spray. It’s been over a week and I’m still seeing a mite here and there. Is there anything else I can be doing to get rid of them or will it just take some more time?

I have had success with neem oil for spider mites.
