Help. My first time dealing with this. I think it’s bad and hoping it was JUST this plant. They literally were not there yesterday. Watering infrequently. Good drainage, chunky soil mix, 70% humidity. Thinking I missed it when I got it home? Under skylight and plant lights for backup.

Wow those are SO tiny. First I was like “where’s the actually spider”. I don’t know though, sorry
That may be a spider mite infestation, and if you see webbing it’s already pretty bad.
Spider mites, BAD. You’ve got quite an infestation there, honestly unless you really care about that plant just throw it away. And check any other plants close to it, very likely that they’ve gotten on them too.
Bad, very bad. This plant is a goner and any other plant that was near it will need a miticide treatment (not an insecticide, a miticide) and a thorough cleaning, even if they don’t look like they’re infected
That’s REALLY BAD please separate this plant from any other plant

Spider mites. The net web and speckled leaves are telltale signs. The speckles would have been there before you even noticed the webs.
bad bad bad. i wonder though, if you could take the plant out the pot n spray it down w a hose for a lil while, would that help or are the mites pretty resilient
Bad
Bad bad bad. I have 1 spider thats made home on my parlour palm and I actually helped it onto my plant because its fine. But spider mites, not good! X
Spider mites. Bad. Very hard to get rid of.
Quarantine the plant, hose it down to dislodge as many as you can then use inceticidal soap every few days until majority are dead.
Use a mixture or neem oil, dish soap and water to disrupt the life cycle of any eggs left on the plant, an just keep an eye on it.
The worst kind. The leaves look unhappy too☹️
Even if you get rid of the spider mites, with leafs that sickly they won’t survive the treatment, because it’s so harsh 😬😬😬
no bueno at alllll, those are the spiders from hell😢
