White Spots on Indoor Palm: Spider Mites or Fungus?

Diagnose Before Treating

Webs + moving dots = spider mites.
Stationary spots with brown centers = fungal spores.

Safe Broad Treatment

Neem oil 3-in-1 spray handles both. Avoid strong water blasts if fungus suspected (spreads spores). Repeat every 5–7 days.
