Would anyone be able to tell me what my best plan of action would be against these? Im trashing the palm tree these seem to be affecting the most but i know the bigger issue is that they spread. I use “natural” remedies as much as possible, like sprays with neem oil/cinnamon oil/every kind of citrus and mint. As far as i can tell they’ve only gotten to this palm. I keep him on my porch with a few other plants (like a banana tree right next to it) but they seem to only want my palm. Ig that makes some sense given all my other plants out here have thicker waxier leaves but still just want to know better ways to fight them incase i find some on a plant i dont want to get rid of. And looking for any ideas for what could have attracted them.

    Spray off all plants really good with water after applying insecticidal soap, change soil in any plant if you see it, use neem oil. But the best thing for spider mites or mealy bugs would be 70% rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball or q tip to the front and back of the leaves.. then keep checking every few days, spray again as preventative measures.. but if you find a sick plant keep it ISOLATED from your others
