Hi - I have this alocasia and its store bought. I got it about 6 months ago and indoors it did poorly. It got gnats and so I took it outside and put diatomaceous earth in the soil and treated it with neem oil as well. All was fine ans new leaves were sprouting. But now i want to bring it indoors BUT im noticing some white spots and im not trying to bring in mealey bugs to ruin the rest of my plants. Ive had them in a bird of paradise once and there was no saving it. Had to toss it. I would hate to toss this guy out but wanted to know what the community thought about it being potentially infested with pests.

I have thought about wiping the leaves down a bit to see if those white markings come back but wanted to be sure what others thought.

Thoughts?
