Spider mites

#Syngonium whyyyy?! She’s had spider mites twice now. :(

Last watered 3 weeks ago
Hi there, sorry to hear! It’s possible the mites weren’t eradicated initially so you might be seeing them come back. I use the method @SuperbRaspfern recommended - 1 tbsp liquid castille soap diluted in a gallon of water in a spray bottle. Spray every 3 days for 3 weeks. I’d recommend also checking neighbouring plants because you could be getting β€œreinfections” that way. In that case, I’d spray all the neighbouring plants too. It makes it easy if you keep them in the bathroom for the duration of the treatment if it’s feasible to do so. Best of luck! 🌿🌿🌿
