# Lost almost all of a beautiful Frydek to spider mites a few weeks ago…

_Publié par RootHappy le 2025-05-17_

Lost almost all of a beautiful Frydek to spider mites a few weeks ago and had to do a radical cut back, scrubbed top and bottom of the leaves, treated the roots and moved it to leca. He looks like a shell of himself 😫 but I checked on him this morning ( he’s in isolation still) and dare I say I see NEW GROWTH!! I will have to cut back a couple more tiny leaves I hoped would survive but have clearly gone on to a plant place in the sky. Just excited to see there is hope and so far no other babies seem to have been infested. 🤞🏾

Thanks! I think he’s gonna survive, he’s scrappy
