Could you share a picture of the soil? Usually when they do that it can be a telltale sign that they are thirsty #### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uYwPbz1IVy48BMEqXDs7PeVCXm7b8TKntgcGIDbTXjg/QDJoyFopRByw8f8QjyH2hQ.webp?size=large) #### David님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. Thank you! Sorry I don’t mean to be annoying but two more questions 😂 1) What is the white thing on the left stem? Maybe zoom in because I wonder if that might be a plant pest. 2\) What is the light coming opposite the window? Is it a grow light? #### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. Yes it is a grow light and actually I’m not sure about the white thing! It has been there since I got the clippings ### David님이 2025-06-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Okay! Last question. When you got this plant, did it have roots? You mentioned it was a cutting #### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. They were a little bit small, but yes, they did have roots ### Yolanda님이 2025-06-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Does it move if so that’s a mealy bug, and it’s sucking your plant dead, change soil spray off the entire plant, roots and all, wash and sterilize pot really good, spray plant really good with neem oil, then isolate this plant. If it was near another plant check those and treat them ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YJJidWl8yghcg0Wa-wOE-i_0s9kY6A5yWb8qoP4VOxs/1OSyhxQ3RKmcgn5niT0XsQ.webp?size=large) #### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. How does this bug get to a plant? ### David님이 2025-06-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Okay so that might be the issue. Plants can have trouble acclimating to going into soil especially if their root system is not well established. #### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. Should I put it back in water? #### David님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. So that may be up to you but I would first try and see what the roots look like if you pull it out of the pot. Feel free to share a pic if you’d like. But yes either putting it back in water to root for longer or putting it in a smaller pot might be the solution ### Yolanda님이 2025-06-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. It can be brought in on another plant from the store, come in through windows,doors or even clothes it just depends. Pest typically target weak plants especially new cuttings that’s trying to grow. If this was given to you they could have had them on some of their plants and this little bugger hitched a ride home by hiding in your soil or on the back of the foliage #### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. Oh no! ### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Should I wash it and the keep her in water for awhile? #### David님이 2025-06-23에 답변했습니다. Yes, I would try that 👍 ### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. There was two of those bugs on my plant! :0 ### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. One was near the root system and almost completely ruined the roots #### TrinaLovesPlants님이 2025-06-24에 답변했습니다. Check any other plants. You can use alcohol and a qtip to wipe them off and kill them. ### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thankfully it looks like it was just that one. ### sydney boyd님이 2025-06-24에 댓글을 남겼어요.
