can anyone offer any insight into what’s going on with my props? I did find some webs on them a couple weeks ago and i’ve been washing them off with castile soap and water every week since then. I add some peroxide in the water as well. Some leaves have died off from the mites but i’ve taken them off and it was only a couple. But now about every leaf is like this! Almost indented and blackish. help, they were rooting so well before!!
I’m not sure if it’s thrips, spider mites or both. But, that is a lot of damage for two weeks. Honestly, I would not put in weeks of effort to save cuttings unless there is sentimental value attached to them. It’s less work and less frustration to buy clean starter plants. I recommend you toss all those cuttings and those close to it. I would toss the containers. The alternative is to wash the containers in hot soapy bleach water or in a dish washer. Wash down everything with soapy water in the area where you kept the cuttings. Be careful about handling the cuttings and their containers to prevent spreading them with your own hands.

I second this. Keeping them could cause the disease/pest to spread to your established plants. Definitely throw out the whole lot.
