Help, are these spider mites??
Just noticed tiny white insects all over my Veranda Banana and some webbing at the very tip of the leaves, also some small orangish/red buggers too. I moved this plant indoors before it got cold and never saw anything like this until now. I had been misting daily for humidity, so maybe that's what brought these on. Any tips to get rid of them? insecticidal soap mixed with water okay?

Re: Help, are these spider mites??
There are lots of posts on here as you are not alone in the fight against the spider mite army, I use a neem oil, washing-up liquid and warm water mix it works great, if you can take plant outside so you can spray each leaf ( top and bottom)and repeat a few days later....I love the smell of neem oil but it will make a mess inside.
Mine get sprayed a day or two before bringing them indoors and every month or so. |

Mites will travel from host to host....treat everything close. Spray the soil, pots and saucers too.....they hide everywhere🪴 Spray your plants in the shower or tub to avoid a mess.....you can leave them in there for a few days till you think you have all under control. You may take your plants outside for a short time to do your spraying as long as it not freezing. Use neem with caution because it can damage/smother your plant if applied heavily. Most garden insecticides will control them also...... |

Re: Help, are these spider mites??
This usually occurs when there is a lot of humidity. You need to take care of it by mixing some fertilizers or chicken manure. Also, do spray your plant with some good insect killers.
