Morning ya’ll! I realized one of my struggling plants has spider mites. I tried treating it and it seems to have made it look 10 times worse. Is it salvageable? Should I just cut off the new growth and start fresh?

Yes I would cut off the leaves that are damaged, they won’t be able to repair themselves. Then spray down all the remaining leaves/stems with water to get the mites off as much as possible, then spray the leaves and stems and top of soil with a dish soap/water mixture (be sure not to use the kind of soap for grease, it’s too strong). Let it sit like 5 mins then spray it all down again to get the soap off and then I treat with neem oil to prevent their return
