# I had read something about thrips, and I’m reeeeally hoping this…

I had read something about thrips, and I’m reeeeally hoping this isn’t what’s got my Alocasia. Can anyone tell: 1) if that’s what it is, and if so, how to best treat it; and, 2) if not, what is it, and how can I treat it? It was doing so well 😔

Same thing is happening to mine. I’ve already cut 2 of the mature leaves off 😫

If you don’t see any pests, it could also be fungal. I had a similar issue with my Hilo Beauty and ended up cutting the affected leaves and spraying with a copper fungicide. If it is fungal, unfortunately you’ll have to remove all affected leaves to keep it from spreading 🥲 So far, my hilo hasn’t given me anymore spots after this treatment 🤞

do you water with tap water?

#### WhisperingGardenさんが2025-07-13に返信しました

I do, but I use We The Wild Essential Houseplant Care Kit that has soil enrichment \& plant protection

you’ll probably want to condition the water or use distilled — we the wild doesn’t condition, it just fertilizes. alocasias can be sensitive to tap water, depending on the area you’re in! highly recommend the southside plants conditioner if you decide to go that route!

#### saritaさんが2025-07-13に返信しました

also fun fact, the enrich powder is just worm castings! highly recommend swapping to a different brand, we the wild is much more costly comparatively!

#### WhisperingGardenさんが2025-07-14に返信しました

Thank you so much for the advice! Do you have a brand/product that you can recommend?

### Michelleさんが2025-07-14にコメントしました

Commenting to come back and refer to this in the future!
