# My Calathea suddenly looks extremely sick indeed. I investigated it…

_Publicado por Chris el 2024-08-19_

My Calathea suddenly looks extremely sick indeed. I investigated it and found thrips which I’ve showered off and treated the plant with some houseplant bug killer (I don’t like using this but it was a last resort!)… sadly the plant has just looked more sick over the last couple of days so is it time to throw out, or do I have other options? I was thinking of cutting all the leaves back and seeing if anything new sprouted? I’ve done this to a devils ivy in the past and it’s now the healthiest looking plant you’ve seen!!! Thanks for your help and suggestions
