What is on my alocasia? These marks aren’t raised. And it produced another leaf just as big without any problems or marks. I’ve been in the slow process of moving it from hydroponic growing to soil (that’s when the new leaf appeared). Seems otherwise healthy.

Kinda looks like when spider mites get on certain plants but I’m not sure.

I haven’t seen spider mites on it but they are sneaky so maybe they’re hiding?

They are tiny. Unless there are tiny little cobwebs that really just look like itty bitty hair tumbles, they are very difficult to see

Try 2 cups water, 1 tbsp neem oil, 1 tbsp Castile soap, and 1 tsp rubbing alcohol. Mix in a spray bottle and spray the top and bottoms of the leaves. Doesn’t smell great at first but the smell doesn’t last long. It’s great as an all natural pest spray. I feel like I’m forgetting an ingredient but if I am I will comment again.

Also this is from one of my favorite plant people. She calls it sexy plant spray.
