My happy and thriving snake plant. I was cleaning the leaves and checking the soil when I spotted this leaf tucked behind some others. Is it anything to be concerned about?

Ooh that might be pest bugs like thrips 😬 I would wipe down the entire plant with a neem solution or other insect treatment

Thrips is a terrifying word. It sounds like a really grim 1900s illness.

Don’t you just hate when that happens 😡…otherwise beautiful 🤩!

### Christine commented on 2023-08-16

Should I cut that leaf off?

That sounds easier than the alternative lol - I mean, that’s what naive me would do.
