Does anyone know how to deal with spider mites? One of my spider plants just came down with them. So annoying!😣 I moved it away from all my other plants and sprayed it with some watered down rubbing alcohol and dish soap but I just want to make sure I’m dealing with this correctly. Thanks
I think your treatment sounds ok, it seems to be a common mix people use for pesticide control. I would keep it separated from the other plants and re-apply your treatment maybe 1x week for the next 2-3 weeks.

The only thing that ever worked for me was rubbing alcohol, water & dish soap (as mentioned) and a 2 inch paint brush. After dousing the plant and scrubbing each leaf with a brush in the groves it loosens any eggs and kills them. And not to rinse off the solution. Repeat once a week as needed. But this may be laborious process to do on a spider plant.
