Help! My Norfolk Island pine has spider mites. I sprayed with an alcohol dilution and they went away. Now they’re back and my plant is brittle, dropping, and discolored. What do I do?

    just keep rinsing every few days— even just with water. the spider mites will keep emerging for a while, they’re never a one and done treatment. just stay vigilant!

    I don’t know much about them but I just saw a post about someone with a similar problem, with a good response. I hope this helps !

      Spider mites don’t bother with the soil. They lay eggs under the surface of the leaves — that’s where they continue to reemerge from, but you definitely want to keep rinsing

    keep spraying every few days, their life cycles is around 3 weeks, also predatory mite sachets as a preventative would be great
