Hi friends! I’m wondering your advice on cutting this leaf. The plant sprouted a new leaf recently, and is overall doing well. But this one particular leaf keeps having pests. I’ve rinsed the leaf, sprayed it with insecticidal soap, and it’s in quarantine. But part of me just wants to chop off this leaf because for some reason it only seems to be this leaf that gets pests. (By the way can anyone identify what pests those are? Thrips?) If I were to cut the leaf, where exactly would I cut it? Without disturbing the other newer leaf. TIA!💚

    Do they fly? If yes, Whiteflies. Otherwise, Thrips. Genuinely just cut the leaf, it’s never going to look pretty again anyways. If you’re able to, bring the suckers and the plant outside and hose tf outta it. Nicely, obviously😅 Give it a bit and spray with neem oil or insecticide (labeled for whiteflies/thrips) into EVERY CREVICE. You can use a Qtip to get in there. Give it a bit and wipe with a paper towel or something to avoid water and oil residue. Definitely isolate the plant. Maybe keep it outside for a day (in similar lighting as it is in now so it doesn’t burn)? And let nature eat up those thrips, but then repeat the neem oil because you don’t want more issues to come up from being outside. Honestly you’re going to have to fight those guys with fire. They stink. :(
