#spidermites

How can I get rid of the spider mites on this plant? I see a lot of webbing and the ends of the leaves are browning. There are also a lot of baby gnats randomly. Can someone tell me how to help her or if it’s too late? #helpneeded #spidermites #MajestyPalm
1ft to light, indirect

Oh ugh, spider mites πŸ™ˆ. Well the good thing about them is they’re easy to get rid of. Water drowns them so put her in a tub πŸ› and shower 🚿 her off. Or take her outside and hose her off. For added protection spray her with insecticidal soap spray or neem oil. I like Captain Jack’s insecticidal soap spray. It doesn’t smell bad and it’s organic. Just read the directions before using. A lot of people use neem oil. I don’t like the smell and some of my plants didn’t do well after using it, especially calatheas and Hoyas, I think it was too oily.
@MariansOasis thank you so very much! I am going to order the spray and handle it from there!
