I just found spider mites that popped up out of nowhere on my young variegated rubber tree... I cut off the effected area (the crown), doused it in anti insect soap and brought it to my quarantine window. How fast do spider mites spread from plant to plant? My plants are packed quite close together but none of the leaves touch. I sprayed just the table with 1 part rubbing alcohol to 3 parts water... I checked the surrounding banana, African violet, coffee, and orchid and I didn't see any.
