Omg this guy is killing me! For the 2nd time I’ve found thrips . I first got it as a tiny starter then noticed the leaves getting droopy & yellow & after looking at it noticed little guys walking around . I treated it got rid of them & hadn’t found any on any other plants . That was last winter. Today I look at it & see yellow & other spots so put it up to a grow light & omg there they are ! It’s been growing looking good growing new leaves so hadn’t thought much about it . I cut off the janky leaves & soaked it in a Castile soap alcohol & peroxide mix ( liquiddirt recipe it’s actually supposed to be a spray 😕) & visually they are gone at least for now.I’m not worried about soil issues because I have had it in Pon since I got it . It seems like it’s only this plant wth is it with this freaking plant ? Don’t get me wrong I’m glad I haven’t found it spreading but omg !

    usually you’d want to repot and replace the soil after finding a pest issue. especially since it sounds like the plant has been healthy all year. that’s where the pests hide and wait. i would give it a fresh batch of soil, or pon since that’s what you’ve been using. it should clear up from there, since you already cleaned the plant (:

    I’m obsessed with cleaning my alocasias since they are big magnets!
