Hey all! I recently bought this monstera and am not sure if it currently has pests or was previously treated for them. There’s damage spots (maybe thrips??) on several leaves, but I haven’t seen any actual bugs. The plant itself seems to be thriving and has new growth. I sprayed it down with Earth’s Ally 3in1 plant spray just in case and it’s in quarantine from the rest of my plants for now. I’m a houseplant newbie and looking for general advice on dealing with this!

      Good to know! Would you recommend pruning any leaves with scale? That one was definitely the worst but there a couple spots on other leaves

      i don’t think pruning is necessary at the moment. definitely treat asap with systemic granular and a contact killer too like neem oil. i believe the white spots are eggs, and they are easy to remove without having to prune leaves!
