I found a few of my indoor plants/trees, Cat palm, majestic palm, Aglanema, that have spider mites. I have repotted them recently but that doesnt change the fact that they have small webs and what looks like mites on the leaves


I have Captain Jacks and have mixed it up in a spray bottle, took the plants outside and spraped them down pretty heavily. Is this going to take care of them or am I going to need to spray them a few times......

Im thinking about spraying all my plants/trees on my lanaii as well. Dont want them to get eaten up

They are such a pain to get rid of. I have found Neem oil is the only thing that helped. And I changed out my soil and really washed the roots clean. Started over in a clean pot with clean soil. Definitely quarantine the ones that have them, they spread quick.

If you are not talking about food plants, I would suggest some drench that would control the insects systemically instead of spraying. I recently bought some fertilizer that contains the same chemical for azaleas.
