# Please help‼️ My Ivy and Prayer Plant aren’t doing good. Just came…

_Publié par Sparky🤍plants le 2024-04-06_

Please help‼️

My Ivy and Prayer Plant aren’t doing good. Just came back after a vacation and they got like this :(

Ivy has thin webby things and crunchy, droopy leaves. Just gave it water so hopefully that helps. Any thoughts on the webs… spider mites???

Prayer plant has yellow leaves then crisping up and turning brown. I tried to pull some dead leaves off but they were very hard to do. Underwatering?

How far are spider mites able to travel? The ivy is kept about three feet away from any other plant. TIA

Spider mites can travel on clothing, drafts, pets. They can basically get anywhere pretty easily. That’s why it’s best to quarantine affected plants in a separate room if possible.

You can spray them off with plain water to get most of the mites off. I recommend getting some predatory mites to combat the infestation. Haven’t had a spider mite problem since I started using them.

And the crispy leaves could be from under watering, or mites.

Update: I just sprayed my ivy and the water seemed to make it perk up again. Hopefully most of the mites are gone🤞. It is currently being quarantined and by the looks of it, it is the only plant with the mites! Sadly my baby lost a lot of leaves 😞. Any further tips?
