Can anyone tell me whatās wrong with my dieffenbachia? Thereās a green chalky feeling debris on the stem/leaves. It almost look like the plant is peeling its green color off?? Planta thinks it could be thrips but I donāt see any bugs? Advice and help would be greatly appreciated!
I have that on my hyacinths rn, but theyāre exclusively outside and planted out there. Is your plant outdoors? It could be a pest more common in gardens rather than houseplants, like aphids, if thatās the case.
0 gillningar No, my plant is indoors. Sadly very little does well outdoors where Iām at (Arizona). Itās so weird because itās like chalky and you can wipe it off with your finger and it almost looks like macha powder when you wipe it off? App says thrips but I donāt see any thrips š
0 gillningar You can wipe it off?! That could be a good sign! Check to see if this plant can be cleaned with a cotton swab with alcohol and if itās safe for this plant, wipe the excess just in case it is a pest and wipe as much as you can off. Monitor if it comes back
0 gillningar Itās truly the most bizarre thing. When I tell people it wipes off all ideas go out the window lol. But I have him a good clean yesterday, hoping it was just a weird dusty something and not pests š¤
1 gilla Most of the stuff Iāve read on how to treat pests if theyāre not causing serious damage and can be wiped off tends to suggest rubbing alcohol to wipe the leaves. Double check that your plant can handle rubbing alcohol, though, cause Iāve never had that specific plant before. Does the rest of it look good? No withered or discolored leaves or any limp or dark roots? If everything else looks good, youāve checked the soil and leaves and everything other than the spots look healthy, than it might just be something like a small pest problem or excess salt or something that can be changed.

0 gillningar For the spots Iām seeing on your plant, which look just like the ones on my hyacinths at the moment, Iād suggest looking up āWhy Are There Brown Spots on My Garden Hyacinth?ā Then type āGreg appā after it and search with that typed in through Google. Iād like to send the URL but for some reason the app wonāt let me, so Iām sorry to say thatās the best I can tell you. Iām currently using that to treat my hyacinths
0 gillningar You dont have to download the app to read it. Really donāt know why it wonāt let me send the link to the website. And Iām sorry itās about hyacinths but thatās what I could find that had the same looking spots on your plant. Really hope it helps
