    Not sure what to do about the pests, but I believe your plant is a syngonium podophyllum, or arrowhead plant.

    Thrips are teeny little white/clear things. They are super contagious. Happyhappyhouseplant on IG has a great series on managing them. Basically you need to isolate the plants, treat the soil and the leaves (they lay eggs in the leaves and are asexual so you only need one to have a major prob!). I am battling these now. Good luck 🤗😵‍💫

    what i found helped was sprinkling cinnamon on the surface of the soil! but also isolate and i suggest getting fly catchers so the gnats can get stuck to those!

    I use diatomaceous earth (fossil shell flour) on the soil. It’s like magic
