    Have you treated them for pest? I usually treat mine for pest, even if I don't see any, but it's a light treatment. I usually do a basic water and peroxide mix; 4 parts water 1 part peroxide in a spray bottle, spray leaves and wipe down. I have found the best way though is to invest in a plant microscope, it really helps to detect for flat mites, especially their eggs. The stems of your plants here though don't have any signs of flat mites, nothing visible from the photo at least (e.g. knobby growth, woody stems, aborted tips, etc.)

      Yes they were sprayed as soon as I brought them home. I didn't know they made a plant microscope. I will check into that. Thanks

    Rope plants like to carry mealy bugs. Lost one plant to it and didn’t know it was infected until too late. The critters hide well in the crevices

      I had one too! They are expensive and hard to find. Lost mine to mealy bugs. 😭

    I have neem oil I dilute with water and spray. Cinnamon, as well as diatomaceous earth is phenomenal.

      I've been mixing a small amount of cinnamon in my soil when I repot plants but I will sprinkle some on the top of the soil to help. Thanks

      It’s one of many great things. It doesn’t always work for me so that’s why I use the other two items! Good luck ❤️
