depending on how big the plant is, take A DROP or three of dish soap in some water and use that to water your plant. It acts as a repellent to bugs for plants.

Also, depending on where you are, you might invest in some live ladybugs and introduce them to your plant. Granted, their favorite meal are aphids but I'm sure they'll snack on spider mites. I know here in the States, you can but ladybugs in bulk at large hardware stores like Home Depot (online only). There in Finland (?), I don't know what options are available to you.

Spider mites are those tiny, tiny critters you sometimes see if you're looking closely enough at concrete, you can sometimes see a little red speck walking along. That's a spider mite. They're most often red - the ones I've seen anyway.

here's a video of some:
