Mites 100%

Def spider mites. Mixing unscented Castile soap and water and spraying on the leaves every few days for a couple of weeks will kill them. You can google ratios but I just eyeball it. It’s gentle and shouldn’t harm the plant, I use it as a weekly treatment because I have alocasias that are mite magnets.

Most of my collection is alocasias so that makes sense 😅 I now have predatory mites on the way! I’ll have to try the soap in the meantime thank you!

Yeah alocasias are the devil when it comes to mites but now that I know I’ve been mostly able to prevent them in my soace
