Hey y’all - I treated my Dieffenbachia for spider mites 2 days ago with a spray solution of alcohol, water, and dish soap. Now he’s all droopy and sad:/ Did I ruin him? Or is he just in shock? Let me know if you have any tips/wisdom!

    Soil looks dry to me. Did you thoroughly water? Also dish soap is bad for plants because it is made to break down oils, which plants need to protect itself from sunlight.

      Yes I watered it very thoroughly afterwards. Ah okay I didn’t know that - found a couple of sources that said to all a couple drops to the solution so I used it

      I didn’t know that either. Lots of people say to use a couple drops of castille or dish soap

    Did you mist the solution on it or how did you apply
