Help‼️my rubber tree has spider mites. Where I live I is cold outside so I can’t take it outside and do a thorough washing. I washed it with Castile soap to the best I could indoors. Sprayed neem on it and they came back🫣how I can I get rid of these guys indoors 😭

Castile was a good choice. I use a concentrated but gentle spray of water on each web and more every few hours during the day. As a last resort mix 3 parts water to every 1 part dawn dish soap and 1 part been oil and spray it on there. Be sure it doesn't get into the soil, however as this will damage the roots.

Be careful using Dawn on plants. This does not make insecticidal soap, like a castille soap would. It is a detergent and can harm the plants natural waxy coating, leading to transpiration issues and even the plant dying.

You can't treat just once. You need to spray it down every 4-7 days (unless the bottle has other recommend) for at least 45 days to kill the whole life cycle. I take larger plants into my bathroom to spray down and shower, you don't need to haul them outdoors. This is a great homemade pest killer from Blossm Effect on IG
