# So I am a new peacock plant mom and I’m stressing out lolll. I’m not…

_Posted by Faith🌱 on 2023-10-06_

So I am a new peacock plant mom and I’m stressing out lolll. I’m not sure what’s going on with the plant I don’t know if she’s dying I don’t know if she’s infested. Can somebody help?

• why the back of my leaves are sticky and smell very sweet  
• why am I seeing holes on one of my leaves? And also some Browning on a few of my other leaves  
• also like this white fuzz that has grown on my plan yet my plants still look healthy

I think she is infested with spider mites. I would spray her down with cold water. Then wipe down the leaves with 1 part rubbing alcohol and 4 parts water. Keep the plant isolated and repeat the process about once a week for around a month.
