Can you confirm this is spider mites?

I recently received a plant from a friend, which I transplanted from soil to hydro and has been fine for the past 2 days.
My problem is that yesterday I was moving my hydro setup from outdoor into my server rack closet and found a single spider mite on my plant with tiny web. I got rid of the spider mite and the web before putting the plant into the closet.

My plants have these white spots on their bottom leaves and are kind of yellowish. The top leaves are green and have no spots.

I have looked at the link for diagnosing and it looks similar to the symptom of spider mites

Would anyone here with spider mite experience confirm that this is from them?


thank you !

Waste no time. You may safely assume you have a spider mite problem and need to decide how to treat. An insecticide of some sort is what I would recommend. And a bug bomb in the room you took the plant into once you kill the buggers. If you think I'm making too much of this simply use the search bar above and type "spider mites". Check the threads. Going way back. Good luck and get control of it NOW.

Bro its not spidermites ,one single mite wont spin a web on the leaves and sit it in like a spider lol, you get webs when the infestation is outta control.All i see there is a sick under fed little plant.

Shine Mix 4 keep'em in dirt if you start'em in dirt this will save you a lot of

I agree with the others, those pics are not near good enough to see spider mite damage, and all I see is an underfed/sickly plant.

Based on your pictures of your foliage eventhough it can be hard to see in its entirety, I do not see evidence of white stippling on your foliage. Did you happen to look under your leaves? Various stages of mite growth tend to like to hang underneath the leaves. The white spots you are referring to look like residual water and nutrient splashing on your bottom growth.
