I just got myself a majesty palm from my local Home Depot, i know they’re absolute spider mite magnets. I believe she’s healthy right now and in quarantine for a week, but is there any advice y’all have to avoid spider mites?

I drench them with diluted neem oil 1-2 per week for a couple weeks, always seems to work.

If they ever get really bad, I’ll wrap the base in a pillow case and submerge in 90 degree water for 45 minutes.
