well if the plant can hear you lol!! maybe the spiders can ... so ask them to bog off and leave your plant alone haahaa ....

Could be Spider Mites. They are very tiny, red and also weave webs. They afflict house plants and greenouse crops. Not sure if its appropiate to link offsite, but there is a lot information on t`internet about them if you do a search.
 
I know this is a long shot but try spraying with water with washing up liquid in it. Don't know why but it does work on certain plant pests.

thanks i think you are right,ive found some miracle gro bug spray that should do the job,i didnt know you could buy things that get rid of insects for house plants,thanks jacky
 
liquid derris 5 will get rid of your spider mites better than miracle gro bug spray ever will no bother.. as derris 5 is made to get rid of red spider mite as well as other things...plus you make your own solution of it per litre of water so you can have it that bit stronger if you wish..miracle grow will just be your standard bug spray already watered down....and it shouldnt damage the plant either..

you can get liquid derris 5 at any decent garden centre - even the big sheds..focus, b&q etc...
