I had read something about thrips, and Iâm reeeeally hoping this isnât whatâs got my Alocasia. Can anyone tell: 1) if thatâs 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 đ
Same thing is happening to mine. Iâve already cut 2 of the mature leaves off đ«

If you donât 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 youâll have to remove all affected leaves to keep it from spreading đ„Č So far, my hilo hasnât given me anymore spots after this treatment đ€

do you water with tap water?
0 gillningar I do, but I use We The Wild Essential Houseplant Care Kit that has soil enrichment & plant protection
youâll probably want to condition the water or use distilled â we the wild doesnât condition, it just fertilizes. alocasias can be sensitive to tap water, depending on the area youâre in! highly recommend the southside plants conditioner if you decide to go that route!
1 gilla 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!
1 gilla Thank you so much for the advice! Do you have a brand/product that you can recommend?
