I’m guessing it’s a combo of underwatering, cold, light, and root binding, but I just saw a thrip on another plant so: is this early thrip damage? The plant looked similar last time, but I don’t see any droppings, juvenile thrips, or crawling lines like I have in the past. Can anyone confirm? Thanks! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5UTW5cI-tgHIkl9zYZ8nt2hmYakdZH4rUdLGAQWuFI8/375b765bf5d24215ae85b10baa4ba472.webp?size=large) ## 7개의 댓글 ### Sydnei님이 2024-01-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. hi, not completely sure but this looks like scale, in my opinion! ### Hannah님이 2024-01-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. Oh boy. Thanks! ### Sunny님이 2024-01-02에 댓글을 남겼어요. Show the entire plant, its soil and lighting in its location. It’s difficult to judge with a few leaves. Tradescantia drops leaves for many reasons including aging, and watering/lighting/pests/temperature/fertilizer issues. #### Hannah님이 2024-01-02에 답변했습니다. It seems to get enough light (afternoon is brighter), but it could probably use some consistency when it comes to watering. Most of the damage is on interior leaves, so I feel like rot could easily be the culprit combined with some edema from changing seasons on the sill ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5UTW5cI-tgHIkl9zYZ8nt2hmYakdZH4rUdLGAQWuFI8/a562fd78bc834e428b9ce94497c448cc.webp?size=large) #### Sunny님이 2024-01-02에 답변했습니다. I can’t see the soil mixture. But, I don’t think it’s rot. Looks like aging or a late watering. I have several of these. They are Callisia Repens, a cousin to the larger tradescantia. I have the Gold variety. I bought two this summer. They have acted like weeds on patio. The original pots got too dry and went bald near the roots. I will have to cut them to regrow from the pot. I plan to just get rid of them. Leaf shedding is expected as it ages or gets a bit dryer than normal. Root rot will be very obvious as the plant slowly dies off from the roots and stems. Your plant does not have those obvious symptoms of root rot. It actually looks very healthy! It’s better than mine!😂 You’re doing a great job! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/c8a78fd5801b4107a816531f40f41a7e.webp?size=large) #### Sunny님이 2024-01-02에 답변했습니다. Here is the broken pieces that rooted with my monstera and has gone rogue by my shed. That’s one plant. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/f02ca83a12c244519972ac01bfc66688.webp?size=large) #### Hannah님이 2024-01-03에 답변했습니다. Thanks! I’m just a little jumpy after a long battle with thrips this summer. I’ve got a lot of tradescantia since they are so easy to propagate but they just melt under pest stress --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
