I'm being gaslit into thinking that these white spots are dust, mineral buildup or natural leaf coloration instead of pests, and I need to confirm with the council again. Its so tiring to find these spots again after trying so much stuff. TIA!

    If you have a large collection 10/10 investing in a lil microscope because it could be but I can’t zoom to see anything! They need to fix that

    It kinda looks like thrips damage but it’s hard to tell! We will wait for more council members

      Thank you:) I'm at my wits end with these two. The dreaded clearance section of a grocery store, and now I have no idea what kinda bugs I even have to deal with! And If it's bugs at all:)) a microscope is a fabulous idea, I'm thinking about it.

    I got a lighted magnifying glass for like $5 and it’s great, if you don’t wanna go quite that fancy It sounds like you’ve already done some empiric treatment so this is probably something you’ve tried, but you can always just spray with isopropyl thoroughly all over, wait a minute, and wipe off. It’s tough on the leaves but will kill almost anything, especially if the pest is that small.

    Low humidity can cause dry spots. Check the humidity levels. Add a humidifier, if needed. Definitely, check for pests as recommended.

      Thank you! Just misted these guys just in case. We are on an island so hopefully generally humidity isn't an issue, but it is a rescue so who knows what conditions it's been in before. Thanks for the feedback again:)
