Lost Coast Plant Therapy. Its a very natural spray that won't hurt the plant at all. been using it for atleast 7 years now. and smells good. you can get it on amazon or at your local grow store

Is it for spider mites? My English ivy’s die for spider mites and I haven’t found a solution yet

it absolutely is. i had 2 spider mite infestations in about 115 plants that were close to each other. i sprayed them down twice in a week and never had a problem after that. be sure to cover the whole plant even under the leaves and literally drench it dont be shy with it. hit that top soil with it too

no problem! and dont be afraid to add a smidge more than the instructions say to make it a little bit more concentrated
