I’ve noticed spider mites never seem fully eradicated. or they somehow magically appear in my exoterras every six months or so. I even stopped opening windows in the summer to try and keep the bug population down lol
may I ask all what you’ve tried? wondering if my methods are bunk or if the mites just really loved your palms!

They hate moisture so this and spraying down the leaves every couple days will work..spider mites are by far the easiest to get rid of

Good luck, hope that works out.
Question for community, is it generally true that cane palm is more vulnerable to spider mites? I don’t see this with other plants, at least not that often.

I do something similar in the shower, or outside with the hose.

I bought similar palms at Home Depot. I’ve seen a lot of posts about these from Home Depot always being infested. I brought one home and the first infestation almost incapacitated me. Both times it’s like the infestation happened overnight.They aren’t really spider spiders, but you sure as fuck don’t care what their class is when your plant is covered in webs and hundreds of them.
The first I dragged outdoors. I threw everything in my arsenal at it. They went away. Then..they came back just as bad. I banished it to the back patio.
Got another. Went to another state and set up all my plants in the tub with lights and wicked watering. Came back a couple months later and the second one was infested. Not ONE of my other plants had them despite living together all that time. I banished that one too. Never got another one.
Both plants were open to the rain and direct sun. They FLOURISHED. I moved and left them there.
