Spider mites are tricky because they are so small. You have to make sure you clean the surrounding areas as well

Watch Aloha Plant Life’s YouTube video on spider mites. 🙌

Predatory mites are the easiest way to go. I don’t have to spray/treat my plants anymore. I get mine from Nature’s Good Guys, super affordable.

i just checked out their site, which ones do you get? do they ever leave the plants, im not sure i could handle them crawling around the house😅

It’s their special blend that I get, you just put the sachets on your plants, or you can buy a kind you sprinkle on if it’s a bad infestation. They are soooo tiny so honestly if they did leave the plants I don’t know how you’d know. I’ve only seen mine once or twice.

The soil and plant itself is a great habitat for them, so I don’t know why they’d want to leave. Haha
