What's eating my sansevieria futura superba?

Sansevieria Futura Superba's thick, upright leaves are unattractive to most pests, but mealybugs and spider mites occasionally colonise the plant in warm, dry indoor conditions. Fungus gnats can appear when soil stays too wet. Good airflow, correct watering, and monthly inspections prevent most infestations before they establish.

Waxy white powder or cottony fluff at leaf bases and in crevices; leaves may yellow and drop if infestation is heavy Remove visible bugs with alcohol-dipped cotton swabs; spray the whole plant with insecticidal soap or diluted neem oil every 7–10 days until clear

Pale stippling on leaf faces; fine webbing visible under magnification in dry conditions Increase ambient humidity; wipe leaves with a moist cloth; treat with neem oil or a miticide if population grows

Adult gnats around soil surface; root-feeding larvae weaken new growth in persistently damp compost Let soil dry between waterings; top-dress with coarse horticultural grit; use Bti biological drench to kill larvae
