This kindaaaaa looks like a thrips issue to me 😅

I see another plant to the left of it as well. Does it appear to be doing ok? I ask because thrips spread very quickly & are super detrimental to plants. You may have to throw the whole plant out at this rate if it is indeed thrips…

@elisenavidad 😩😩😩 thank you, it is thrips!! I’ve been fighting thrips on my monstera for some months now, but I thought they hadn’t spread! Hadn’t really checked the aloe vera plants. I threw this one away immediately. The one besides is a ficus bonsai, I found one little adult devil on a leave and immediately treated the whole plant. It’s funny in the monstera I never see adults, only the larvae!

@greenerylover they’re amazing! I got a big pack on Amazon :) I’ve also seen them in regular plant stores, but much cheaper on Amazon (I live in Sweden)
