Most of my VFT's growth points are gone, I can see little nubs of growth but they haven't been growing out, I recently sprayed Bioadvanced 3-1 because of a huge spider mite outbreak, wondering if the spider mites had anything to do with the stunted growth? They've been like this for a while, about a month. I grow under LED lights and in pure sphagnum, I'm repotting in a week to some smaller individual pots. Is this just a waiting game? Thank you!

I’d assume it’s mainly the Mites and possibly the Bayer to a small degree.
They cause damage by puncturing the plant cells to feed so in essence they’re plant ticks.
Any stressors can inhibit growth and yes I’d wait a bit so it can get back to normal.
