Ohhh noo that is thrip damage, cover the whole plant in DE and separate it. Check your other plants too, thrips are tiny black ovals, very tiny. Good luck 🍀 👍🏼 and keep the DE on for a month.

What is DE??

#### Tee Jay ha risposto il 2024-03-02

Diatomaceous earth

You could also spray with insecticidal soap. You have to be vigilant though and do it twice a week minimum. Thrips are aggressive

How would the plant get that though? It’s probably a stupid question but none of my plants have ever had that before? And is that definitely what that is would you say?

I’ll be relieved if it isn’t, my heart dropped a bit when I read the other members thought it was! No it’s mainly just that leaf, there’s a different leaf that has a slightly light patch on it too? This is the top of the leaf
