Looks like it could be thrip damage. It doesn't quite look right for edema #### Lynda님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. 😖😖😖, and what should I do for thrips? TIA! #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. Spray it down with pesticide every 3-5 days for a few weeks. #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. Ma'am you are getting to many plants to not have an intake process 😆 😂 #### Lynda님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. 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 🐺님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. No that's good. ### Katie G님이 2025-02-03에 댓글을 남겼어요. Did you water it recently? It kind of looks like edema. #### Lynda님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. 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! #### Daisy님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. 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. #### Lynda님이 2025-02-03에 답변했습니다. 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! #### Daisy님이 2025-02-04에 답변했습니다. 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 🐺님이 2025-02-04에 댓글을 남겼어요.

This stuff makes me… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫, so I’m gonna hog tie my hubby and get him to help me with this stuff. I think you’ve helped to clarify some of this mess!
