# So my Zebrina had a thrips infection. I have cleared it out (I think)…

_Posted by Tim on 2024-10-18_

So my Zebrina had a thrips infection. I have cleared it out (I think) and then I moved the plant to a new spot. Recently noticed yellowing of the leaves and drooping. It seems to be struggling and not sure how to get I back, any ideas?

Mine is doing same! Mine is in a pretty bright window and wondering if it’s too much? Leaves are getting soft on edges also!

I’ve swapped it to another spot that isn’t as bright, hopefully that’ll help

Same. Placed mine on the floor for that dappled light. Decided not to stress considering my “elephant ears” alocasia in ground outside often drop leaves regularly as new leaves come in. And there’s dormancy to consider! Good luck!
