First time dealing with pests. I think these are spider mites. I found them on my alocasia stingray. Does anyone have a method or specific product they use for getting rid of them?

    Get a cotton ball with 70% rubbing alcohol front and back of the leaves, then spray it really good with water and then spray it really good with neem oil. I would also either change the soil or just spray the soil as well with neem oil. Isolate this plant for a while from your others however, if this plant was near others then treat them also

    Continue process until you no longer see an issue. Spray every 7 days with neem oil

    I also shower (literally in the shower) my alocasias once a month making sure to get top, bottom and stems. I think this practice, more than anything has kept my alocasias pest free since Fall 2024
