SunnyIt’s a massive infestation of spider mites. You need to aggressively get rid of them. Start with gloves and isolate the infected plants from the others. Wipe down with Castile soap or a commercial insecticidal soap. Wipe down the area and the pots. Treat every week for at least a month to get rid of the late hatching ones. Check for them regularly because they can come back. 🪴🍀

Do you recommend a Castile soap?

I do recommend Castile soap. I have not used predatory mites. It has worked for others per the comments and what I’ve seen in online videos. You can do the initial soap treatment and order the predatory mites online. 🪴🍀

How do you even get them?

AmyI get that them periodically and I think they can travel on dust and through the air, in addition to physical contact. Keeping humidity high helps to keep the infestation down and wash your plants to remove dust. I’m dealing with a bad infestation right now too and about to order predatory mites online. They really work to kill the bad mites

HayleySpider mites. Beneficial insects can get rid of them with minimal work from you; add some predatory mites to your plants and watch the spider mites disappear

That’s where I order from too. I’m sure there are other sellers but I’ve gotten good results from this company
