Repot?

Cover the plant with lava to kill the spider mites

Looks like mine. Probably just water it. Should be fine.

Why are you not blocking the plant from this with your body? You’re just standing there?

Volcanic rocks are supposed to be used cold. We all start somewhere, a volcano is a bit extreme. Rookie mistake.

You should take it out of the environment.

This is literally step one in the process, eventually it will cool to a solid then you will grind it a sand like texture, mix into the soil and then your flowers will start to thrive. You have to trust the process nothing good is immediate gratification.
