Just got this corn plant and pothos from Lowe’s. It has spider mites and despite giving it a good shower, some of the leaves look dirty so possible thrips. How should I treat it? Trying to keep it away from my other plants as best as possible. But separately, should I report the pothos? I think both plants need the same light requirements but not sure if I can get away with the same water schedule. Any advice?

    Honestly I would return them and let them know you found pests. Not worth the work and endangering your current plants. If you do choose to treat them, keep them in a separate room, use bonide systemic granules and captain jack’s dead bug brew. Several treatments and be consistent so the pests don’t develop tolerance.
