My inch plant is starting to get these brown patches on its leaves. It doesn’t seem to be affecting the growth so far but it’s spreading to other leaves. I asked chat gpt and it said to cut all the leaves that had it so I did but it just came back. Do I need to worry, and if yes what should I do?
Ohh, this may be Thrips! The University of Minnesota has great resources on pests and how to avoid and control them. Check out their website! Google “University of Minnesota Extension - Managing insects on indoor plants:) good luck!!!

By chance do you mist this plant?

That just looks like water damage. They don’t like having water sitting on their sensitive trichromes (the things that make them shiny) and it burns like that from the minerals in the water. I have some propagating in like 6 different ways and every leaf I accidentally get wet turns brown like that. Or if it stays wet like ones in my fishtank, the leaf just slowly turns black and mushy
0件のいいね Yes, that’s why I thought they may be misting the plant.
いいね 1件 I figured but it could also be from top watering if not misting
0件のいいねI don’t mist the plant but I definitely don’t avoid letting water sit on the leaves, thanks for the help!
