These are NOTORIOUS for spider mites. If I ever grew one again, I’d grow it in isolation and treat it for spider mites every 30 days ad infinitum. I’d have it in a container with 60-70% humidity and hope for the best

I got it from an aquatic pet store, all their plants looked well taken care of. Thank you for the warning, I will be looking out for the next couple of days. I’ve already treated it \& have had it separated from my other plants.
