If you have mites on one plant, they are on all your plants, even if you can't see damage. Mites are outside in the environment so it is impossible to be completely rid of them. They come into your house on your clothing or are blown in when windows are open.

Rather than toxic miticides you can consider spraying all surfaces of all your plants with plain water every 1-3 weeks. This knocks down the mite population, kills eggs and keeps them under control. I do this and I don't see mites in my collection. I also dunk or completely wet every new plant to prevent any hitchhiking mites from getting established.
