Please help! I don’t know what’s going on with my BOP leaves. I have her next to a south facing window since she loves a lot of light and I water her every 2 weeks. I have noticed some small white dots on the back of her leaves which makes me think she might have spider mites so I’ve been treating that with neem oil spray. Just curious what’s going on with these leaves. :/

I think it could possibly be sun burn specially since you’re spraying with neem oil happened to me too😕

Oh no, even if I’m wiping the solution with a cloth after?? Should I move the plant back alittle further from the window?

yeah because some of still dries in the leaves…how often do you spray? and are you spraying at night or during the day? and I just let the blind down and tint them open on those days so it doesn’t burn

I usually spray about 3x a week cause I learned spider mites like dry places. I’ve also started misting the plant more. I usually spray during the afternoon when I get home from work. I think I’m going to move this plant to a different corner for now, it still gets good sun just not as direct!
