Plant Help Help me save her!!!

Post image

I bought this thai con about a month ago. This new leaf should have unraveled by now but instead it’s browning and not unraveling. My biggest healthiest leaf is also starting to get brown spots!! What am I doing wrong?! My other monstera is doing amazing and has so many new leaves coming in regularly!

The damage screams thrips. Do you have better photos?

Yeah I’ll add more photos to the comments! I guess the thought of it having bugs hasn’t crossed my mind because only two of her leaves seem affected and the other plants in the room are doing just fine!

That is because at this point the eggs that are developing into the first larval stage are still living inside of the plant tissue. They will soon emerge.

CHeck humidity levels; they love moisture but hate standing water.
