i noticed this morning that my plants has microscopic white bugs crawling around on the leaves and mostly on my fiddle leaf fig and good luck plant that i think are spider mites and i was wondering if it’s safe to use neem on these plants? what else should i do?

Immediately isolate the plant and check your other plants. Neem oil is safe for the plant. Insecticidal soap ,store bought or made from Dawn dishwashing liquid and water, can be used. Treat once a week. It can take several weeks to fully eradicate.
