spider mites

Hi! one of my plants has a case of the spider mites. i currently have her quarentined in the garage and have read that spraying her with garlic can help... i thought the mites died when i sprayed her with the garlic, but when i brought her inside again they started moving! I also read that soap helps but am scared as she is fragile already, and is losing leaves. What can I do to get rid of these??

Not sure specifically about mites, but I know with some bugs you can pop the plants in the shower to gently rinse the bugs off with luke-warm water. Best of luck!!

You will have to treat her multiple times to get rid of the mites 🖤
