How to locate spider mites? Their attack is distinctive
A video appeared on @zieladka some time ago to help locate spider mites attacking home plants. Zieladka said that the first signs are discoloration on the leaves and small, characteristic white dots – that is, spider mites. Pests often reside on the underside of leaves, where they form characteristic cobwebs. The tiktoker recommended getting rid of the pests by taking the plant in the shower and rinsing them off the leaves with a stream of water. Later, it is worth applying an anti-spider agent and isolate the plant from other plants so that spider mites do not attack them as well.
