I got rid of the spider mites, but they’re back now. And I have flying gnats😭 the leaves are literally turning brown and dying. Is my palm beyond saving. Should I get rid of it. I wanna cry.

    Take your plant into the shower and clean off the leaves. Spray it with captain jack’s dead bug as directed. Water it with mosquito bits to kill off any larvae and eggs that might be living in the soil. It will get better!

    You should treat the other plants in the room and the floor area where the plants sit. Spider mites are very mobile. It took me 5 weeks to get rid of them with weekly applications.

    I had this happen to me, I ended up getting rid of mine. Palms are notorious for being finicky as it is. If you want to stick it out, definitely start treating it weekly. Personally, I’ve had great success with beneficial mites, if I had known about them sooner I may have ended up trying to keep my palm.
