Has anyone else been dealing with a full on battle against spider mites on their outdoor plants? I cleaned out my gutters, & BOOM! Spider mites everywhere!!! Finally, I have gotten them mostly under control thanks to Paige Tailyn Johnson's sexy plant juice spray & neem oil! I wanted to share the recipe here, because as a somewhat new plant parent (a year & a half ish) it's been so easy to not even think about protecting my plants from pests because I've never dealt with them before! This spray is not only a good mite killer, but also a leaf cleaner! Sexy plant juice spray recipe: 2 cups of water 2 tbsp of neem oil 1 tbsp of peppermint Castile soap 1 tbsp of isopropyl alcohol (70%) (Updated recipe! I originally said 2 tbsps of soap & alcohol, but that was incorrect; & Paige also says 70% isopropyl alcohol, but I've been using 90%) (Previously id been using the spray bottle of neem oil for my sexy spray, but I think the concentrated works much better!) I hope this will help some plant parents out there protect their plants better, & I also can't recommend following Paige's plant tips! (Not sponsored I swear I just love her)
