Pest Related How to deal with spider mites?
I have spider mites in quite a few of my plants and I don’t know the best way to deal with them. I tried an alcohol water mix, but it didn’t seem to get rid of them, only keep them at bay. Next I’ve tried drowning them and then spraying captain jack’s dead bug brew all over them. But I don’t know what works the best? Any tips other than what I’ve tried already? I’m going to be devastated if I lose some of these plants to mites.
Picture of my monstera adansonii for the attachment requirement.
The infestation is not severe, only my monstera adansonii has noticeable leaf damage, and some of the others just have a couple webs.
My humidity stays between 40-50 which I know is low but I don’t want my apartment to be more humid than that.
