I got this plant about three weeks ago and upon receiving it it steady had issues wry leaves turning yellow and filling in and but it looks like something had been drop dropped all over it with tiny black days. Plantar says possibly thrips, any advice ?
maybe bugs but can also be your water or humidity. these guys prefer distilled or reverse osmosis. for thrips, depot down to the roots, wash with insecticidal soap or spray with neem, wipe leaves and repot. quarantine and spray with neem weekly until bugs are gone for awhile. spray neem in mornings or evenings as it can burn your leaves when in the sun.
1 like They plant wasn’t well when I got here so I’ve been doing everything in my power to get her to perk up but nothing!! I’ve had her in the bathroom cuz my other plants aren’t all that crazy about ai the extra humidity and I’ve got a grow light on her but nothing is changing for the better anyhow.
0 likes But I haven’t seen any bugs so I don’t know what I’d even be looking for and yes she’s definitely still in quarantine cuz as I said earlier she arrived looking awful 😞. They are sending me a new one but haven’t said when. I got it from the Hope Wind Plants Shop. The small market place in Amazon well I just wouldn’t order from them that’s all I’ll say!!
0 likes I give her tons of humidity with a humidifier and I’ve always only used distilled water 💦. Idk what thrips even look like!! Do you see them?
0 likes thrips are about the size of a pin eye and are white, tan, brown, or black. i do not see any in this photo. my advice to help with thrips will also do away with any other pests if that is your suspicion.
