What’s this on my eggplant?
I have been in a very bad mental state since I moved homes and could barely take care of my plants and now my eggplant has these things on leaves. What are these and how can I get rid of them? #PestControl insecthelp">#insecthelp #Eggplant #VeggieGardens

Hi Mintyy, sorry to hear you've been having a hard time lately. Wish I had better news for you, but unfortunately this looks like a pretty bad spider mite infestation 😕 I've never dealt with them personally (knock on wood), but the treatment I see most often suggested is insecticidal soap. It will likely require multiple treatments over a period of several weeks. Make sure to keep it separated from other plants so they don't spread.
Good luck, and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask! 💚

Yep, that is a very bad case of spider mites. Dunk your plant into a bath with insecticidal soap and wash that stem and leaves good. I would also repot it after that, you can’t be too safe with spidermites.
