What kind of plants?

I have monstera, calathea, Alocasia, a banana plant and a couple philodendron and fern

Spider mites aren’t too terribly difficult to get rid of, just tedious. Try washing the leaves \& stems frequently especially in the nooks \& crannies

I would return them if it’s not too late. You could fight that infestation for weeks on so many plants. It’s easier to start with healthy plants purchased elsewhere.

Search the posts. Spider mite eradication has been discussed many times.
