I have a few Alocasias that are struggling with spider mites, and I'm at my wits' end trying to eliminate them. I've already tried using Coreo Rose Spray, which worked initially, and I've also sprayed a mix of Canola Oil, water, and dish soap. Yet, the spider mites keep coming back. I'm looking for effective solutions that I can find in Central Europe, specifically in Austria. Any advice before these pests wipe out my plants?

I've found success with a pyrethrin/oil spray, which you should be able to find in stores around Austria. I used one from Solabiol last fall when I had spider mites on multiple plants. I applied it every 10-14 days, focusing on the entire plant and even the top of the soil. After a few rounds, they were gone for good. Persistence is key!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look for that product. It's comforting to know that others have conquered spider mites too.
