Ok, no matter what I do this little guy does not seem to respond well. Please help … a lot of the stems look and feel healthy but the leaves. Oh the poor leaves. :(

It looks like it has thrips or potentially spider mites unfortunately 😕

What are thrips?

#### Lucyfern antwortete am 2023-07-05

A pest, small slender bugs that are commonly seen on houseplants

I haven’t seen any but I know that doesn’t matter. I think I had spider mites on one plant but did a good wipe down and I don’t see new damage on that one. However, the parlor has a lot more damage it seems. Can it be salvaged? Any thoughts on the best way to eradicate the pests?
