I’ve got these mini white spiders making webs everywhere here. It’s not thriving at all. What should I do? What kind of pesticide should I use? It’s a watermelon something plant. Thanks very much.

    Spider mites are the worst! I spray with diluted neem oil!

      I’ve been spraying Neem oil but the spiders look 100% unbothered 😤

    Oh shoot, maybe castille soap? If not you may have to go commercial grade insecticidal

    i this looks like a string of bananas. spider mites lay eggs under the surface of the leaves (it’s unusual for them to infest a succulent, as they prefer more delicate foliage, but not unheard of) because of this you have to keep treating until they stop showing up

      this pot is too big. i would take it out of this pot, rinse out all the old soil and the mites, and repot into a small terra cotta pot in something well draining. then keep treating until you stop seeing them
