Luckily, she stays secluded by herself so if it’s not lint or dust, most of my plants should be alright, I’m assuming.

...the cloudy stuff yea but the first photo😭spider mites?

#### Mehgan C. replied on 2025-03-27

The cloudy-ness is just how she looks, that was the reason I got it besides the fun spiral shape 🌀 but I’ll just keep an eye on her \& make sure it doesn’t happen again. Imma probably just treat it to be sure

I have her a nice pressure rinse just to be cautious. I didn’t see any larve or creepy crawlies on her so I think it was lint/dust build up. She’s so feisty though, she did not me rinsing her off 😭 stabbed me like 10,000x 🤣

Defo doesn’t look like spider mite webs to me. Always a good call to shower them off tho! Just keep an eye on her and make sure the webs don’t return but I don’t think they will 👍🏻 super cool cactus! Never seen one in that shape before!
