They got me

First time experience with #spidermites and they got my #RedPrayerPlant #Maranta What ahould I do?! She’s going through a nice growth spurt at the moment! Don’t mind, she’s isolated in my bathroom 😂😒
@ModestCoconut13 Good news treat soil and leaves underneath and top and in every crevice they can hide .with neem oil every second day until gone . They have a life cycle of 2 days and hatch again. Act fast though I list one over the winter for waiting longer than there life cycle . Many people use alcohol and water spray though if you’re diligent mentioned above will work . Many will tell you to transplant but please believe me it will stress it out more . Good luck
I was constantly battling them. Since I regularly wash my plants now, like literally hose them down in the shower or outside, haven’t had any issues. They hate moisture. More of a maintenance tip.
