What's eating my alocasia triangularis?

Alocasia Triangularis, named for its distinctive triangular leaves, is most commonly affected by spider mites and mealybugs when grown indoors. Its compact form means pests can spread quickly from leaf to leaf. Check new growth weekly and use a preventive neem oil spray every 4–6 weeks to stay ahead of infestations.

Pale yellow speckling on leaves; webbing at stem bases; leaves may curl under in heavy infestations Shower plant regularly, maintain high humidity, treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap every 7 days

White cottony clusters in leaf axils; honeydew secretion causes sticky leaves and sooty mold Apply isopropyl alcohol directly to each bug; spray entire plant with diluted neem oil solution

Tiny flies hovering at soil level; root damage from larvae causes drooping or yellowing Let topsoil dry between waterings; use BTi soil drench and yellow sticky traps near the pot
