ya got mites, girl 😔 rinse the leaves thoroughly and spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap. You’re going to have to keep treating once a week for a few weeks because these lay eggs under the surface of the leaves. If you are thorough and consistent you might be able to save it

Definitely spider mites. I was able to save my infested plants by spraying with a neem oil solution once a week for about a month. I sprayed down all the leaves with water and wiped off as many of the pests as I could then I sprayed all over with the neem oil solution. It’s stinky but it works!

This is the specific recipe I used-I added the essential oils that say they help with pests🤷🏻‍♀️. Like I said, it did work really well but if you don’t want to do the essential oils I’m sure just neem oil would work too. Hopefully you can save your plant!❤️

Maybe I’ve been using too much neem oil in my mixtures 🤔
