I love my Calatheas but they are the biggest spider mite magnets ever. I’d have them in the middle of a bunch other plants, all fine except the Calathea which would have mites yet again…. So annoying.

I pretty much only find spider mites on already weak and highly stressed plants and only nearby windows.
Do you have them in soil? AFAIK they can only lay their eggs in organic substrates.
Systemic pesticides also do wonders when needed.
