Neem oil plus a drop of Dr Bronners peppermint soap 👍

Yes! Also spray with water weekly to dislodge pests - sometimes the easiest solution works best on outdoor/patio plants.

this is great to remove dust as well! i dont do it weekly unless there are mites or mealys, but every once in a while i’ll water with the shower sprayer on plants that will tolerate it

spiders help keep unwanted pests in check. removing dust from the leaves of your plants should be part of your care routine so that they can photosynthesize properly.

i would save the pesticides for a real serious infestation— and even then, personally, I would avoid them

Yes agreed! I see spiders on my plants. I don't use insecticides in fear of killing the them, but I do give them a shower. I spray plants with water for regular maintenance. The spiders are working for you; not against you.
