Spider mites, tiny pests that thrive in dry environments, can wreak havoc on alocasias. They spin fine webs and cause stippling, leaf drop, and overall plant decline. Overcrowding, dry air, and infested nearby plants can trigger infestations. Chemical controls like pesticides and insecticidal soaps can be effective but carry risks. Non-chemical methods such as increasing humidity, using neem oil, and introducing predators offer natural alternatives. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) combines chemical and non-chemical approaches for long-term control. Preventive measures like proper watering, regular inspections, and isolation of infested areas can help prevent outbreaks.
