It doesn't quite look right for edema #### Lyndaさんが2025-02-03に返信しました 😖😖😖, and what should I do for thrips? TIA! #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-03に返信しました Spray it down with pesticide every 3-5 days for a few weeks. #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-03に返信しました Ma'am you are getting to many plants to not have an intake process 😆 😂 #### Lyndaさんが2025-02-03に返信しました Tell me that before I buy another nine plants, all at once…😵‍💫! But seriously, when I have new plants come into my home, they go through a set of sprays with a copper fungicide, and I always put a pesticide into their water…(SNS 209, which you recommended…👌!). Plus I add a few other things to their water right off the bat, like Plant Juice fertilizer, Micro Lift for fungus gnats, and Armor Si, a plant growth, nutrient. If you’re a ficus, a couple of other things! Sooooo, how about that for all my brand new babies? Am I killing them with kindness, or what? TIA! #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-03に返信しました No that's good. ### Katie Gさんが2025-02-03にコメントしました Did you water it recently? It kind of looks like edema. #### Lyndaさんが2025-02-03に返信しました I received it four days ago, and it was quite damp. I haven’t watered it since it arrived, and won’t water it until it’s dry, since it’s a pothos. Any other thoughts? TIA! #### Daisyさんが2025-02-03に返信しました does it get any direct light, or bright light for extended periods? i’ve heard that Scindapsus Pictus prefer indirect/medium-lower lighting conditions, and can burn with too much light. if it turns out that the spots weren’t caused by pests, maybe it’s the beginning of scorching? i’ve also heard that Scindapsus Pictus is considered a “false pothos/psuedo pothos” due to its similar growth structure so although it looks like and is usually labelled as a pothos, its care needs are actually more that of a scindapsus! where i live it, seems like my satin pothos doesn’t like when its soil dries out completely whereas my true pothos plants seem to prefer drying out between waterings. #### Lyndaさんが2025-02-03に返信しました Many thanks! Your reply was extremely informative, and I learned something I didn’t know… (like I know everything,🙄!), that this plant shouldn’t get completely dry, which is what I was waiting for! Should I be watering this plant when my moisture meter reads around 50%, or so? TIA! #### Daisyさんが2025-02-04に返信しました you’re very welcome! when i got my first silver pothos i believed the label (i mean, why would they label a plant as a different species than it is right? 🙄lol) and i killed it most likely by treating it like a true pothos (letting it dry out, cleaning the leafs with a damp microfiber cloth etc). in my experience, while my scindapsus pictus doesn’t like to dry out completely it also doesn’t want to stay too damp and definitely doesn’t want fully wet feet. i find that watering when the soil is 70%-80% dry (or 30%-20% moist on the moisture meter) works the best for me, and i make sure that both the pot and soil i’m using have lots of drainage (and therefore good airflow/aeration) since i’m not letting it dry out completely! ### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-04にコメントしました This is from that light post ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/zZfT9Z33T4OFT2WmncKWxQ.webp?size=large) #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-04に返信しました .. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/qk87y59JTAeS7PrZu0ubCw.webp?size=large) #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-04に返信しました .. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/u8J2q5FrQ8yR3IAOM_AQ3Q.webp?size=large) #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-04に返信しました Metal clasps ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/WI1P1jPGSrOmireNAK_UZA.webp?size=large) #### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-02-04に返信しました Connecting them ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LABcXOiTFudmBUCsau2S0dZnnxDdeMAvwSHhNs7sG2k/LnTetiG2SfCGK50P1XUrUw.webp?size=large) #### Lyndaさんが2025-02-04に返信しました This stuff makes me… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫, so I’m gonna hog tie my hubby and get him to help me with this stuff.
