This is so sad! We’re post-spider mite infestation. I’m not sure if it’s going to survive 😢 no spider mites have been spotted in 5 days, but there’s so much damage.

I would chop off anything severely damaged so the plant can focus on giving new leaves!

What did you use to combat the spider mites?

#### Zack svarade den 2025-06-17

A spray mix of thyme, cinnamon, and peppermint oil, and distilled water. It got rid of the spider mites practically instantly but I think it was too harsh for the fragile plant.

Looks like it has a solid three and a half pretty healthy leaves. It should recover as long as it gets care
