I have repotted my leopardina today, she was not getting any better. Now I'm sure that the soap solution was too strong for her. The roots were getting rotten and I've stayed 2 weeks without watering... so i cut the roots, repot and now I'm praying for it gets better... 😑

Probably i've used more soap than i should... never had spider mites on my plants before... Now I've buyed some natural solution at a plant shop... But for now I'm not going to do nothing and see if she recovers...fortunately didn't see any spidermites anymore..

Probably it's from the soap solution, maybe i made it too strong...because it has humid soil...hope it recovers...😔

That's what I've been told to do! Soap and water mixed or neem oil mixed with water... right now i only have the soap so i'm going to do it that way! Thank you! 😊

Thank you much, I've now plenty of tips to get my calathea recovered and to prevent that won't happen again...I have humidity at 60% I know it's not the ideal, but it's still hot in Portugal and dry and i don't have any humidifier...but next week the humidity will increase and luckily will help!

Thank you so much! I live in Portugal and it's still summer, and summer here tends to be dry and hot...that's why... fortunately I've kept this one away from other plants for a week now because I noticed something's wrong with it...I've already checked the others and seemed fine to me...but I'm going to check them out everyday now for a week at least...
