Oh no @Baneenerwaddle ! You did the best thing by separating her from the rest of your collection πŸ˜‡ Next I would wash her leaves in warm water (a bit above room temp) to clean the webbing and knock any mites off the plant. With your fingers gently rubbing all crevices and both sides of the leaves under the running water. Then let her dry. Last step, spray a deterrent such as neem oil or similar. Good luck 🀞 πŸ˜‰
@TryRedbean thank you! I’ve ordered neem oil and it should come tomorrow I’ll do the warm water tonight too
@TryRedbean another question, how long do I treat the for and how often, very mixed answers from google
Neem oil solution!
