Is this bad?? This is my Scindapsus Silver Hero. It doesnāt look like damage, it looks like water-log or whatever itās called when the cells burst due to water consumption, but the soil is nearly dry/ready for watering, and the āpatternā puts me in mind of thrip damage. And since Iām currently battling thrips in another section of my jungle, I want to be sure this isnāt 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

Agreed. Definitely edema. You can also try poking holes into the top of the soil to help aerate it more
2 gillningar Thatās what itās called! Thank you. Yeah Iām not watering him yet. Iām just glad itās not thrips. š¬ And the soil is nice and loose. Heās good in that department. I havenāt had Scindapsus before so Iām not sure whatās normal and good for them.

My nursery rep said they start to curl when thirsty. I just got one recently! ā¤ļø
1 gilla They do. Just like pothos. But I donāt like to let them get to that point, itās traumatizing for them. I prefer to keep track of the soil moisture.
1 gilla I didn't know regular pothos did that! Yeah, my scinda is new to me but I'm not waiting either then!
0 gillningar Yeap! In my experience, Pothos have to be really very dry to curl, and since the most common problem plant owners have is overwatering, itās not a wonder itās a rare sight. š 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.
