# Hi Planta People💚~I’ve got a weird one for y’all. Can anyone tell me…

Hi Planta People💚~I’ve got a weird one for y’all. Can anyone tell me what might be happening to my Calathea Network? Dr. Planta says lime sensitivity but I swear I can see tiny little bugs on the underside of the leaves. I’ve never seen bugs like these, so tiny, tan colored. In places, the top part of the leaves looks as if it’s disintegrating and then underneath, the affected leaves look white-ish gray in color. And there are little brown and tan specks as well that I think are bugs. Oof, anyone know what could be happening to my special lady, Musaica?

Kinda looks like thrips to me

Neem oil or soapy dish water in a spray bottle is the solution to kill off those insects. Could be thrips, aphids, spider mites or many others. Isolate the plant. Spray weekly and spray nearby plants. Repeat spraying each week until they are gone. Spray the soil too. Good luck 🍀
