I’ve had luck with isopropyl alcohol for spider mites on my alocasias. I spray at night after the grow lights are off. It really helps.

Thank you!

I hate the smell of neem and only use it on my outdoor plants.

I’ve been using the Grow Queen neem oil, it includes other oils and stuff to balance out the smell issue, and I’ve had good luck using it for spider mites. Always with Neem Oil do it at night so the leaves don’t burn!
