Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will Spider Mites spread to my other plants?

A:

Yes, most pests move fast -- isolate the affected plant the moment you spot it.

Q: Can I use the same treatment for everything?

A:

Neem oil and insecticidal soap cover most soft-bodied pests, but root rot and fungal issues need a different (drier) approach.

Q: How long until it is gone?

A:

Expect 2–3 weekly treatments before you stop seeing signs.

Q: Should I throw the plant away?

A:

Rarely. Most outbreaks are reversible if you act early and stay consistent.
