Just get it into its ideal growing conditions if you can
いいね 1件I’m treating my frydek for spider mites, first step was isolation, then gave it a leaf scrub with neem oil, top and bottom, washed his roots real good and gave a spritz of peroxide then a neem oil dip for a few minutes. Took him out of that pot and discontinued that pot from circulation (it was cheap)

いいね 1件It looks pretty leggy, maybe it wasn’t getting enough light? 🧐 Spider mites tend to stay at bay when the plant has proper humidity levels. I mist my croton 3-4 times a week, depending on how much sun it has received. I also clean the leaves at least 2x per month.

いいね 1件…. I’m also wondering 🤔 — Plus, how much concern and involvement is warranted ? Like, is it a plant destroyer or is it something that can easily be left to sort itself out?
