They reproduce quickly and can form large colonies, making them a common pest in gardens and greenhouses..
Spider mites: These pests can cause leaves to appear stippled or yellowed, and the plant may lose its leaves. Spider mites thrive in dry conditions, so increasing humidity levels and regularly misting the plant can help prevent them..
