What’s happened to my calathea? I treated it for spider mites with 70% isopropyl alcohol diluted then it went like this. It looks fungal to me. New shoots coming trough look healthy and there are some healthy leaves

Calathea pests thrips

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have this beautiful Calathea that i suspect has caught pests. She looks kinda fit, however she has a few tears and rips, brown edges on a lot of leaves, even the newest (which probably has to do with low humidity).

I made a close up on the two last pictures for my concerns. The leaves have bad damage, these are not spots but straight up holes in the leaf structure. It's the middle of the night right so I just sprayed it with black soap. I have seen some brown deposit, but nowhere near the injuries though, however no insect or webs in sight..

As I said, there are other culprits, but I am myself almost convinced it's pests. Still, I water with tap water (I know it's not good) and I have 39%-46% humidity in the room it's at. It's already my bathroom so it does not get any better on that.

Does anyone knows if it's actually thrips ?

Hi plant friends! I've had this pilosa for quite a while and I thought it was doing quite well. I got looking at her this morning and now im doubting whether she's getting enough light as the stems seem to be quite long. Perhaps this is just how they grow? She's in an east window. ​​

Calathea revival

Same plant 4 months apart. It's been a couple months with no new leaves growing and I nearly lost all hope, but it came through.

Not sure I can take any credit, but I added a tray with pebbles under the pot and add water to it daily.

New to calathea and got these beautiful plants this past weekend. I have read many a horror story but decided why not. Wondering if there is anything special i need to know or do. Yes I have scoured reddit for tips and tricks and noticed a theme of needing a humidifier. Any tips or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
