# This is a Thai con, I got it in a plant exchange with someone and I’m…

_Posted by Sandytoes on 2026-04-15_

This is a Thai con, I got it in a plant exchange with someone and I’m pretty sure this plant came with thrips. I haven’t seen any thrips in weeks, but the plant still has rust color from when they were causing damage. Issue now though is that I’m noticing these bumps on the leaves, they don’t appear to be any type of bug. I haven’t seen movement, I tried to pick them off and the bumps don’t budge. You will have to zoom in on the photos, these are the best I could get. Any ideas?

Plant is sprayed for pests regularly and I use systemic granules on a schedule since the thrip issue.

I’m thinking of chopping it down, giving a soak in plant soap, and repot and letting her start over.

It might be something with the roots or a type of disease so I would definitely do a soak an if I doesn't work looks t the roots and see if there is anything wrong just chop it
