English Ivy spider mites

Pale stippling and a dusty cast can appear before obvious webbing. Use a magnifier under several leaves and tap a vine over white paper to look for crawling mites.

Separate, rinse, and repeat

Wash both leaf surfaces and the inner vines, protecting the pot from excess wash water. Remove badly infested dead sections that block access, while retaining green growth.

Follow the spider mite guide for product selection, repeat treatment, and monitoring neighboring plants. Cooler placement away from heating airflow helps the ivy, but environmental changes alone will not eliminate mites.
