Do you see any actual mites? I have spider mites right now… webs and tiny little warm colored specs

#### Wes님이 2025-03-01에 답변했습니다.

No mites

Just webs and they just came this morning

I think it's mold. Spider mites are not true spiders. They're in the arachnid family group but not a spider. In terms of house plants you would rather have a spider than a mite.

I'm assuming those are Jade that your propagating. I would remove the Moss all together. They hold too much humidity around the stem.

It’s mold! My suggestion because i use to have this problem a lot. 1) Start with new moss  
2\) Boil water  
3\) Pour it over moss and let the moss cool down  
4\) Squeeze moss and use it

This will kill of the bacteria and fungus that causes mold

Ohh will try

it’s mold, make sure to poke a few holes in the prop box and open the lid every so often
