1. Look for fine pale speckles above leaves and delicate webbing underneath.
2. Tap a suspect leaf over white paper and watch for tiny moving pests.
3. Separate affected pots and clean hands and tools after handling them.
4. Check whether the plant tolerates washing, then rinse sturdy leaves gently in a sink or shower.
5. Reinspect undersides regularly and remove badly affected parts only if appropriate for that species.
6. If infestation continues, seek expert advice or use only a product labeled for that indoor plant and pest.
