Ugh, I hope not. Would I have seen the spider mites physically if so? I’m not showing anything beside what’s in the picture on the leaves/steams, nothing in the soil

Would I actually see the mites? The white things were only on the stems as shown above. I don’t show signs of anything anywhere else or in soil?

Spider mites are very very tiny, and they tend to just look like white dots. My cats palm got infected with them a few weeks ago and it looked exactly like that. It only affected the stem and leaves of my plant as they like to hide in crevices, I never saw any in my soil. If you take a microfiber cloth along with some neem oil it will get rid of the mites.

Thank you so much for the information!

If you do decide to wipe it down with neem oil, make sure you get all of the crevices! And no problem :)
