# Is this bad?? This is my Scindapsus Silver Hero. It doesn’t look like…

_Opslået af Aisha den 2024-11-02_

Is this bad??  
This is my Scindapsus Silver Hero. It doesn’t look like damage, it looks like water-log or whatever it’s called when the cells burst due to water consumption, but the soil is nearly dry/ready for watering, and the “pattern” puts me in mind of thrip damage. And since I’m currently battling thrips in another section of my jungle, I want to be sure this isn’t it!

Definitely looks like edema, I saw a Reddit thread saying some people see this on their scindapsus. Maybe try to give it a few more days between watering

#### Adrian svarede den 2024-11-02

Agreed. Definitely edema. You can also try poking holes into the top of the soil to help aerate it more

#### Aisha svarede den 2024-11-02

That’s what it’s called! Thank you.  
Yeah I’m not watering him yet.  
I’m just glad it’s not thrips. 😬  
And the soil is nice and loose. He’s good in that department. I haven’t had Scindapsus before so I’m not sure what’s normal and good for them.

My nursery rep said they start to curl when thirsty. I just got one recently! ❤️

#### Aisha svarede den 2024-11-03

They do. Just like pothos. But I don’t like to let them get to that point, it’s traumatizing for them. I prefer to keep track of the soil moisture.

### StormLover kommenterede den 2024-11-03

I didn't know regular pothos did that! Yeah, my scinda is new to me but I'm not waiting either then!

#### Aisha svarede den 2024-11-03

Yeap! In my experience, Pothos have to be really very dry to curl, and since the most common problem plant owners have is overwatering, it’s not a wonder it’s a rare sight. 😁  
It started happening to my Jade Pothos because she needed a repot and was too root bound for a good watering to make a difference.
