I checked the roots and there were no visible signs of rot but I transferred it to a chunky mix and a terracotta pot. Since then she has another black spot and the starter leaf fully yellowed. What do I do? There’s no signs of pests that I can visibly see. ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ENWZy6cF4vRSGXfXOBJ42Dw1q8a1W6aWuebyPMMoX8o/fdZvXc_YSHi-yhmOJj7_SA.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ENWZy6cF4vRSGXfXOBJ42Dw1q8a1W6aWuebyPMMoX8o/kQbFpTXoTSmQfgN9JnieNg.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ENWZy6cF4vRSGXfXOBJ42Dw1q8a1W6aWuebyPMMoX8o/tVkGa8yFTeC0c1ruMS2noA.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ENWZy6cF4vRSGXfXOBJ42Dw1q8a1W6aWuebyPMMoX8o/tkLHygJhSiKoEAlY3nE-sA.webp?size=large) ## 14개의 댓글 ### Zoey님이 2024-11-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Is it on all the leafs? #### Zoey님이 2024-11-29에 답변했습니다. Obviously leaf come and go so if you see new growth you should be fine #### Meg님이 2024-11-29에 답변했습니다. It hasn’t has new growth since the end of summer (late august), it’s not on every leaf but two leaves within a month and then the starter leaf fully yellowed this week. ### Zoey님이 2024-11-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. Have you taken the leaves off? #### Meg님이 2024-11-29에 답변했습니다. Yes ### Zoey님이 2024-11-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I would take them off and hope the plant grows more #### Meg님이 2024-11-29에 답변했습니다. What if more leaves slowly get the black spots as well? ### Zoey님이 2024-11-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I'd jus give it time and if other leaves get it then give it more attention again ### Zoey님이 2024-11-29에 댓글을 남겼어요. I'm not a expert but it's what I do with my plants and it tends to work 🤷‍♀️ ### Alyssa님이 2024-11-30에 댓글을 남겼어요. It kindve looks like you have thrips my friend 😬especially the last pic and the damage signs…. #### Meg님이 2024-11-30에 답변했습니다. noooo that’s what i was afraid of! #### Alyssa님이 2024-11-30에 답변했습니다. Yeahhh, I definitely wouldn’t leave it be. Take the plant, take her out of the pot and soil, throw out all the soil and clean/sterilize the pot with soap and water and vinegar. Then, wash off the roots fairly well and repot her into some chunky soil mix in a clean pot. Now, you need to get some neem oil or horticultural soap, and spray that down on the leaves every week, being sure to get the nooks and crannies. Also, I’ve heard that watering in beneficial nematodes are awesome for getting the baby thrips down at the roots and stem. If you are okay going the non organic route, others swear by houseplant systemic granules that you mix into the soil (this gets soaked up by the plant via its roots and basically poisons the thrips that are trying to eat the plant), if you use that be sure to follow all proper eye, respiratory and skin safety guidelines. #### Meg님이 2024-11-30에 답변했습니다. I think they’re on my thanksgiving cactus as well, i’m more concerned about that one. I’ve also read higher humidity helps kill thrips. I’m going to get systemic granules tomorrow and insecticidal soap! Thank you!! #### Alyssa님이 2024-11-30에 답변했습니다. Oh no! I hate those things they’re like the roaches of the plant world I’m telling ya. Of course! Good luck! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
