What's eating my monstera acacoyaguensis?

Monstera acacoyaguensis is a rare collector aroid grown indoors that shares typical Monstera pest vulnerabilities. Spider mites and thrips are the most common attackers, damaging the developing fenestrations in young leaves. Scale insects can also establish on the thick stems. Quarantine new plants for at least two weeks to prevent introduction of pests.

Pale stippling on leaf surfaces and webbing on undersides; early fenestration development can be distorted Raise humidity, rinse plant, and apply neem oil or insecticidal soap weekly for 3 treatment rounds

Silver-bronze streaking on emerging leaves; new leaves unfurl scarred or misshapen; tiny dark droppings on leaves Spray with spinosad-based insecticide or insecticidal soap, focusing on emerging leaves and undersides; use blue sticky traps

Brown or tan waxy bumps along thick stems and petioles; sticky honeydew builds up below infested areas Scrape off scale with a soft brush or toothpick; apply horticultural oil spray; repeat monthly to catch crawlers
