Anyone knows why this Mayan leaf is showing some yellow spots? No bugs to be seen, it just churned out a beautiful new leaf and no webbings too.

I also have no idea what’s going on with my brancifolia in the other pic, one leaf is looking amazing and the other leaf is getting droopier by the day.

Thanks! In the first photo on your post, to the far left on that leaf, is the a reflection?

#### Lynn replied on 2024-07-08

Just some light reflection I think!

Ok, phew. I’ve been reading a lot about thrips these past few days and was worried that might look like damage from them. Even still, I do believe thrips damage can look like those spots so I would keep any eye out for the little black bugs (or the other dead giveaway, the tiny black spots of their faeces. Ew now I’m making myself itchy thinking about it) - not saying that’s what it is for sure though!
