I’ve been using neem oil but the spider mites keep getting worse, is it possible that it’s something else? Any advice is appreciated

Throw it away before all your plants end up looking like that. You will need a professional to tackle that. Just my opinion.

Throw the whole patio away! 😵 I’m joking of course but I’ve never seen a case of spider mites this advanced before. Looks more like mealy bug infestation. Either way I wish you luck and pray it doesn’t spread to the rest of your plants.

In all honesty I’d throw it away. That’s the worst mite out break I’ve ever seen. Also neem oil and sunlight will cook your plants alive

That’s really bad, throw it away. Sorry

Neem oil doesn’t kill eggs. Watch Aloha Plant Life’s video on insecticides on YouTube. You have to understand the ingredients to understand if they will kill specific bugs. Some sprays may only kill the eggs, some may only kill the adults once they feed on the plant. But that plant looks like it’s toast. And I would wipe down all the surfaces around it.

Search for spider mites on that chicks YouTube page to better understand what you’re dealing with and why they are so difficult to get rid of.
