I’ve been a plant parent for about 04 years now \& for the first time I’m dealing with spider mites. I came back from a mini vacay \& all three of my pothos that were hanging together were infected! Luckily my neon \& golden weren’t too bad but these tiny little leaves are gonna be the death of me! Soap, neem oil \& a good hose down. Debating on spraying with a bit of alcohol \& water solution after all this just to add an extra umpff.

Oooh that sucks! I would rather repeat the treatment in some days/weeks than adding too much at once (but I get it, I probably would have wanted to kill them with 🔥😅). So hang in there! You’ll win this fight!

I got a little ficus plant from a grocery store recently that I realized had spider mites 😤 Neem oil about once a week for a couple weeks did the trick on mine. I feel your pain!
