Does it fly? And, can you get a clear pic of it if possible?

#### isabelle b. svarte den 2024-02-07

i don’t know if it flies because it is dead! and i cannot get a clearer pic i tried many times but it is immensely small (but shaped like a dead spider)

Is there any webs around your plant, and is it kept in a dry climate?

#### isabelle b. svarte den 2024-02-07

yes and yes

### Lotus biscuits kommenterte den 2024-02-07

So then it’s definitely spider mites. To solve this problem, clean the webs off, spray insecticide, and keep the area around your plant humid (misting/water trays).

Also, spider plants like dry climates and create webs around plants.

#### isabelle b. svarte den 2024-02-07

this is not a spider plant but actually a zz plant

Sorry, I meant spider mite
