Brown spots?
#SilverSatinPothos I recently got this little silver satin pothos and I adore it! It has developed some brown spots on the underside of one leaf and some on the top of another 😭 it might be totally fine, but just in case before anything happens to it does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!

Hi. See those little dots? Those are signs of pests. Most likely thrips. They tend to stay in the soil until nighttime unless you disturb the soil. If you don’t see them, you may have larvae in the soil. Get neem oil and shake it up. Spray it onto a clean dry cloth then wipe it onto both top side and underside of the leaves. Spritz a bit into the growing medium - not a lot - just a little spritz or two and leave it alone but don’t place it under any bright lights. You want to do this at night when the bugs come to the surface. Do that every week to make it hard for them to thrive. You may also want to place a sticky trap in the pot so the adults will get stuck on the sticky paper. I hope you don’t see it progress and hope for its complete health!
@FitSedum oh no 😭 Thank you for the advice ❤️ hopefully I can get these things under control. I had no idea it could be thrips
