What is most effective for spider mites on the Impatience plant?

Just hose the plant off every day from the undersides of the leaves.
It will wash the mites off and no pesticide is necessary. Proper
watering and fertilization for having a healthy plant is also a way to
prevent insect damage. For some reason, the plants attract insects,
mites, etc. when the plant is not healthy.

They were healthy when put in greenhouse but soon spider mites were on them
all. I spray with water and systemic but the mites are still in there. Now
are spreding to the impatience seedlings. I would like to get rid of them
completely.
