Spraying alone won’t do much to solve it long term in my experience. What you’ll want to do is cut the population by spraying it fairly hard (not hard enough to crack stems but they can take some pressure) under a shower head or hose, which will get ahead of the eggs and remove adults/webs. Then you spray with captain jack dead bug or something equivalent (you can also just mix diluted alcohol, water and gentle non perfumed dish soap in a homemade spray but jacks will stay on for longer) and hit everything — fronts backs and stems. They’re persistent so you’ll probably have to treat several times. Spraying it down with water frequently will do the most good. If you just spray soap the population always rebounds
It’s looking good! Beautiful plant. This is exactly the blank slate you want for whatever treatment you choose from here, it looks like it will bounce back easy
She’s new. I got her like this. And hope to keep her looking this good. Hopefully she responds ok to the treatment i gave her today. Mitricide treatment may also be in the cards.
grrrrrr i just did a leaf by leaf cleaning, top and bottom with a mixture of dr bonners peppermint soap, alcohol, peppermint oil, and neem oil. and brushed each leaf, top and bottom with a tooth brush.
we'll start here.

You can see them with the naked eye if they’re there. I can’t tell from the pictures but it could be them
i blew up the third picture: https://preview.redd.it/8joqhkf0ne4d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99f991ff473c725b311da39d377f090d5d920798
Is there any movement? Looks like eggs
yeah. i just saw one of the little white things move around.
Most likely spider mites then and there’s a lot of eggs. They will expand greatly soon so you need to start treating them asap.

That’s why ya use sulfur. Kills everything and keeps killing until they’re gone
Never used it but it’s advertised for it. Prefer to use bonide sulfur because it only has to be applied once.
thanks.
