I just shared a problem with this plant, some blotches on a leaf. Then I decided I'd better take it out of the window and when I got a closer look it looks like white aphids again. Neem spray and quarantine?

I’d chop it and start over honestly. They’re easy to root and it would be easier to eradicate whatever is taking over.

I'm a fighter. That's always a last resort. lol

Saturate with Neem oil. In one week saturate it again spraying the soil as well as the plant each time.

I’d water it with diluted neem oil just to make sure you’re getting it deep enough in the soil rather than a mist on the surface.
