Hi everyone!

I recently got this pothos Brazil and it came with these brown spots and I don’t know if it’s a disease or if it’s not getting enough light? It also has growth spots that have turned brown.

Not 100% sure but it just looks like scarring to me.

Thank you!

It’s either scarring or thrips. If you have brand new leaves that are coming out funky with missing chunks or brown spots check for thrips. Just to be safe you could always give her a nice shower and then apply the systemic granules and isolate for a week. And cut off any damaged parts.

Thank you! And how do I treat thrips?
