But I wanted to put a post up just in case this ends being something that is time sensitive that I just don’t know about. If anybody has info and what it might be and what to do about it. Please let me know! ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/smKX1NY2cYbvufNRDve4bEJ8pl--aGt9DhIpKl2CNg8/iyiUr69sQwiP9OW2Klstgg.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/smKX1NY2cYbvufNRDve4bEJ8pl--aGt9DhIpKl2CNg8/Ufkl6QKKRJqmazlRDvOSdg.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/smKX1NY2cYbvufNRDve4bEJ8pl--aGt9DhIpKl2CNg8/PR7myx6nQq-NXFR14Sc9yw.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/smKX1NY2cYbvufNRDve4bEJ8pl--aGt9DhIpKl2CNg8/9mm-ptWRS6eNqAytUWQjqg.webp?size=large) ## 8개의 댓글 ### Molly님이 2025-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I would isolate the plant,remove damaged leaves. The bottom left picture looks like it could be thrips. They can be hard to spot, if you have a magnifying glass, check the leaves, especially the underside. You can also hold a white piece of paper under a suspected leaf and shake it. Some insects will fall on the paper and make it easier to see. The underside of the leaves may also feel sticky. I hope I'm wrong, as it can be difficult to get rid of if not caught early. Adansonii was my 1st plant with thrips and I didn't catch it soon enough, it declined rapidly , I was able to save a few cuttings and had to start over. Early treatment is essential. #### TeddysPlantHaven님이 2025-01-30에 답변했습니다. So I examined the underside very closely. Saw nothing. I felt the underside. It doesn’t feel sticky to the touch. I’m providing a picture of the underside of a rougher looking leaf for you to see. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/smKX1NY2cYbvufNRDve4bEJ8pl--aGt9DhIpKl2CNg8/EfDiPtVNR3yFeuHGm2rLqQ.webp?size=large) #### TeddysPlantHaven님이 2025-01-30에 답변했습니다. Also. This is how the plant came. This didn’t start after I brought it home. ### Molly님이 2025-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. That's great. Much better picture, thank you. I don't see anything on there. It may have been overwatered or to much light. I would still remove the damaged leaves, they won't recover and just attract pests. They grow pretty fast and will fill in quickly. Other than that it looks like a beautiful plant. #### TeddysPlantHaven님이 2025-01-30에 답변했습니다. Where should I cut them off at? ### Molly님이 2025-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. I usually cut mine fairly close to the bottom. #### TeddysPlantHaven님이 2025-01-30에 답변했습니다. Will do. Thank you for all the help! ### Molly님이 2025-01-30에 댓글을 남겼어요.
