Looks like it could be scale? 😰 No experience with these guys but if that’s what it is, scrub down each leaf with a soapy water solution trying to remove each spot, then spray the whole plant with a pesticide. I would repeat this weekly. Also look into using systemic granules.

Ah! Well hopefully your guys are okay in the long run, sometimes it takes a bit for symptoms to show up. Scale pests don’t move, but hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in and confirm whether or not that’s the issue.

Looks like my nemesis, scale. I mechanically remove as many as possible with a cotton swab soaked with alcohol. Then I treat the entire plant with horticultural oil. Repeat weekly until they are gone.
1 j'aimeWhoa I looked under a magnifying glass and it’s totally scale! I feel like a terrible plant dad since these two propagated spider plants have had it since last summer and I’m first bothering to wage war now. Interesting never speed to any of the other plants touching them…
