I found them on one vine of the Ivy plant that I bought from Ikea about a month ago. It was kept about 2m away from my other plants, so I’m hoping that the little guys haven’t had the chance to hop over.

I’ve also liberally cut off the visibly affected branch and sprayed off the Ivy in the shower, followed by a generous misting with soapy water. The plant will stay quarantined in my kitchen for the next few weeks, hope it recovers :<

My other plants seem fine so far, at least I couldn’t find any critters on their leaves when I checked tonight.

    Could be spider mites, I didn’t notice any webbing that is typically present. Regardless, Ikea has terrible plans imo…always full of bugs.

    You might also want to do a full soil change because the eggs could be hiding in the soil and the issue will resurface again and again

      Sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on the surface soil, and if they do emerge they’ll be ripped to shreds.
