What's eating my dracaena marginata tricolor?

Dracaena Marginata Tricolor is moderately susceptible to indoor pests. Scale insects and mealybugs are the most common problems, colonising the cane stems and leaf bases. Spider mites thrive in the dry air of heated rooms. Thrips can damage the striped foliage. Healthy plants in bright indirect light resist pests far better than stressed ones.

Tan or brown oval bumps on stems and along leaf midribs; sticky honeydew and sooty mold follow Scrub scales off with a soft brush dipped in soapy water; spray with horticultural oil every 10 days for a month

Fluffy white clusters at leaf axils and the base of the crown; weakened, yellowing leaves Swab with 70% isopropyl alcohol; apply diluted neem oil spray weekly until all signs are gone

Silvery stippling and webbing on the colourful striped leaves, particularly in winter with low humidity Shower the plant under lukewarm water; spray with insecticidal soap every 5–7 days for three rounds

Thin silver-grey streaks or scars on the leaf surface; distorted new growth and tiny dark frass specks Isolate the plant; spray with spinosad or insecticidal soap weekly for 4 weeks, targeting leaf undersides
