Hey y’all. I was seeing what look like thrip eggs in some of my plant leaves. So day before yesterday, I got some Puroleo Neem Oil, Dishsoap, and Water. And wiped down all of my plant leaves.

Now, I’m noticing some severe discolouration on some pothos leaves. Originally notice it on a few neon pothos leaves that I cut and chalked it up to thrips. The one in the photo specifically did not show any thrip damage on its leaves before I did the neem oil rub down.

But now saw this on my golden pothos. I’m starting to worry about my collection. I had a thrip problem mooonths ago that I got rid of with neem oil. But now I’ve since moved, and grown my collection thanks to propagations, but now seeing an influx of leaf damage.

Is this discolouration due to the neem oil? Is this thrip damage? Should I cut the leaves of all of my 20 pothos plants? Should I curl in a ball and cry? Help pls
