Dry and hot air creates favorable conditions for spider mites, which do not disdain indoor plants.

The option for combating the pest must be chosen based on the situation: whether the tick has appeared recently or the arachnid has been destroying the flower for a long time.

The easy way

If the pest has appeared recently, you can create unfavorable conditions for it. Take a spray bottle and spray the plant thoroughly.

Garlic infusion

When the arachnid has settled in well, a more serious method is needed. Prepare a garlic infusion, then dilute it in 1-2 glasses of water and spray the foliage.

Before this, the soil is covered with a plastic bag or other material.

There are stronger preparations that are specially created to combat spider mites. For example, "Citoverm", which is safe for humans and pets.

In any case, regular treatment is needed. If you spray 1-2 times and then abandon it, the problem will not be solved. You need to methodically treat every 10-14 days.
