I found spider mites on my monstera :(
This is the first pest (aside from gnats) ive found on my larger monstera deliciosa. I just sprayed the stems and leaves (tops and bottoms) and will wipe it down with a wet rag after the soap dries. Just really bummed about it because I thought I was doing so good.
Looks like I'll have to keep this up for the next few Saturdays until theyre gone. And of course I found the mites after I saw that the gnats were back at it. 😞
Any tips? For the gnats I water with a hydrogen peroxide/water solution and sprinkled cinnamon on top of the soil, and ive already mentioned how im treating the mites.
