# Hi, I’ve noticed these holes appearing in my bird of paradise leaves…

_Posted by Sarah on 2025-03-14_

Hi, I’ve noticed these holes appearing in my bird of paradise leaves that make these lines. I know the humidity is too low, I’ve starting leaving my humidifier going 24/7 and ordered some rocks to make a humidity tray. I’m wondering if these are due to low humidity or a pest? Bonus points if anyone can tell me what fungus/pest! \<3

The lines look more like cosmetic damage but not sure about the spot on the bottom left in the left photo. Maybe thrips 😳
