Guys what am I missing here that would be causing the spots? All my healthy growth eventually trends in that direction. It isnât waterlogged, has no identifiable pests that I can see, keeps growing steadily (so Iâm not seeing stress in stunted growth), and is under a grow light. Is it that the grow light is too strong?
It could be that the grow light is too strong or itâs getting too much light in general, this plant is pretty tolerable to low to medium light so I wonder if it got a lil sunburnt
2 gillningarMaybe Iâll tweak the strength of the light and see if that helps (my kids regularly turn this one off so it resets every time đ€ŠđŒââïž).
0 gillningarHow close is the grow light? Unless itâs less than six inches away, it is very unlikely that it is sunburned.
0 gillningarProbably 8in away, so itâs not directly on top of it.

It looks like Spider mites to me. They have been driving me crazy lately so I sprayed peppermint soap with water on the leaves and then added some systemic granules, Bonide is my go to brand
0 gillningarUnfortunately Iâve kept a close eye on it for weeks and I really havenât identified any pest issues. :/ The spider mites got to my Calathea though đ
1 gilla They love my prayer plants! They also got one of my cactus plants and that surprised me. The only way to tell was how yellow it was. I canât see anything that small so I watch the leaves and clean them all the time âčïž

So I have the same plant that went through similar problems - and let me tell you what it was! After trying everything I eventually decided to repot it, and I noticed it had one of those death wrap meshes around the roots. I ended up taking it off, but the plant has suffered to bounce back. I just checked on it this morning and itâs starting to grow back! I really couldnât figure out why my plant was not thriving and thatâs what it was. It might not be your problem but itâs just a suggestion.
1 gillaThe sack of death đ I checked and its roots are actually just fine, very free of any obstacles, though they arenât substantial. Your message reminded me though to check my daughterâs Venus fly trap that my parents got her (itâs been struggling for agessss). And it was choked by that sack! đ« Hopefully itâll love life now.
