I got rid of spider mites with Murphys oil soap, Neem oil and aloe foliar. I used Neem and Murphy’s to cut down on the fungus gnats when they pickup, pretty much knocks them out ftmp. spray right on soil surface and fabric pots down the sides inside the pot beside the dirt. I used Murphy’s, baking soda and aloe to kill off pm infestation.
Foliar/soil for spider mites and gnats:
1liter of water
1/2 tsp Neem
1/8th tsp or less of Murphy’s.
1 stick of aloe, harvested the gel, would guess 2 tablespoons of gel.
Pm spray:
1 liter H2O
1/8th tsp or less of Murphy’s
1 tsp of baking soda
about 2 tablespoons of aloe gel.
I did every 3 days so like M-T-Su-W etc until gone.
I sprayed everything the soil the pot the stems the tops and bottoms of the leaves.
