ew😫😫 I just saw my frydek has spider mites. Got it from a local nursery and I’ve had it home and with my babies about a week, so now I’m in a panic of sorts it could have spread. Only noticed it after going back to said nursery, just looking around in that section and realizing the entire stock of frydek are infested, came home and 💥 sure enough, mine has the tell tale web around a leaf and almost all the other leaves are yellowed and limp. I dont know if I should get rid of it and cut my losses or try to clean him up and nurse him?

Personally, I would try to rid the spider mites and keep going with your current plant! Alocasias are spider mite magnets — from my point of view, treating spider mites every now and then is just a part of alocasia management 😆

If you haven’t already, QUARANTINE THAT PLANT away from your others 🙈 no matter what you decide, you don’t want that issue to spread
