Have had a plant hospital so to speak! This Moses in the cradle has some spots and what looks to be chewing on the leaves. I can’t tell if the little white specks are spider mites or just dust. I don’t see anything moving. But seems like could be mites. None of the spots can be scraped with my nail except for one white thing I put on the floor to try and get a better photo. It feels like the consistency of candle wax though which in my house is a possibility. The placement of some of the spots sure seems like could be scale but again can’t remove them. I guess I will dig further on all the leaves. I know my mom really never treated any of her plants with anything so it. I’m trying to figure out what treatments are safe. I’m always afraid when starting out with anything new I will burn the leaves. There’s a variety of plants. I do think I may have overwatered this one a bit and it needs a better draining soil. Some leaves dropping but lots are rooted babies so off they go into another pot….My plants plant collection is growing. Still trying to enter them all. I recently bought a product from Big leaves Energy which is a mix of Neem oil, insecticidal soap and some essential oils have to check which ones one smells like cloves. Sorry for long post. Questions are: 1\) does this look like spider mites and or fungal or something else. 2). Recipes and product recommendations please for treatment. Good Neem oil brand? Insecticidal soap. I did see mixing Castille soap with water a good option. I also saw some recommendations for using hydrogen peroxide. I am determined to master this lol. Thanks for your help and reading:) ![5개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nn3vynN-Wwphaibnu9s01hnS9npIEa4b7fVTB2KnUDo/57DSkkbyQGuWFEKp068Z9Q.webp?size=large) ![5개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nn3vynN-Wwphaibnu9s01hnS9npIEa4b7fVTB2KnUDo/Aoypqyq2SsKHcaZ4eLf1_A.webp?size=large) ![5개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nn3vynN-Wwphaibnu9s01hnS9npIEa4b7fVTB2KnUDo/HchDTGvdRciPvZ4Kn6k8UA.webp?size=large) ![5개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nn3vynN-Wwphaibnu9s01hnS9npIEa4b7fVTB2KnUDo/JdqJphqlSfyoVFoxBJ-JYw.webp?size=large) ![5개 중 5번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nn3vynN-Wwphaibnu9s01hnS9npIEa4b7fVTB2KnUDo/nJzs8w59QAeIppcL1GFgrQ.webp?size=large) ## 4개의 댓글 ### Ann님이 2024-02-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. ^this one looks like could be mites ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nn3vynN-Wwphaibnu9s01hnS9npIEa4b7fVTB2KnUDo/YLEFI12bTbOrRPZImNffAQ.webp?size=large) #### Ann님이 2024-02-11에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nn3vynN-Wwphaibnu9s01hnS9npIEa4b7fVTB2KnUDo/9g_J5R9OSUStoyBzlkimEw.webp?size=large) ### Ann님이 2024-02-11에 댓글을 남겼어요.
