currently fighting a spider mite problem. it’s my first time with this pest, and i purchased neem oil and captain jacks insecticide super soap. i spray the soap on plants i see mites on, and after it dries i spray neem oil. the oil also goes on close-by plants as a preventative. is there anything else i should be doing? i cut off very infested foliage, also, to minimize spreading. pic of the scalped plant that caused all this mess🙄
Spider mites don’t generally take such drastic measures! Chopping off the sleeves wasn’t probably necessary. Too much zeal might be what in the end killed this plant.

Did you “shower” the other plants you found mites on? I found that helpful when I had a HUGE infestation this summer. After showering them, it was time for Captain Jack’s. I only lost one plant in the fiasco so I’ll take it!
