      The latter is best.

      I would wash this plant off and start watering with an insecticide. You can choose whichever one you like I prefer arbors since it is bio :)

      I water with their fungicide and insecticide with every watering. The leaves suck it up and it does not taste good anymore for buggies

    I’ve been dealing with the same thing and assumed spider mites because I saw one web but haven’t seen any webs since. I’ve been treating often with neem oil but I still see evidence of them sticking around. Definitely looking forward to seeing what works for you!

    I used insecticidal soap waited a day then wipes the leaves with neem oil. Fingers crossed 🤞
