# Help Monstera Adansonii- Growing like a weed but leaves are looking…

Monstera Adansonii-

Growing like a weed but leaves are looking like they are burned or have pests. I do not see any sign of pests but my eyes aren’t the best.

Plant is in self watering Pon for about two months, growth is plentiful, and majority of sun is all indirect and bright. I do have very large floor to ceiling windows with north east exposure.

That looks like thrips, especially with the last photo 😬

Yep. Pesties.  
I think I’ve gotten mine under control with Bonide Captain Jack’s Deadbug Brew.

I agree on a pests issue. I use a systemic drench or granules
