Hi plant people, I need some help. I noticed that one of my Calathea has some unwanted visitors. I ended up putting it outside to prevent it from spreading to my other plants but now I don’t know what to do with it. Can the leaves be cleaned so I can save the plant? Or do I just cut my loses and toss it so I don’t risk it spreading to my other plants? If you know what this is, or how I can remedy the issue I would love some advice.

I think it’s thrips. You can spray off the leaves to try to remove most of them. Then you’ll need to treat it with a pesticide like Captain Jack’s Dead Bug brew. You’ll have to be diligent about it for a few weeks. Good luck!

I saw this reel about removing spider mites on @channygrayhome s page on Instagram, it’s the 5th recent video.
