What's eating my sansevieria intermedia?

Sansevieria intermedia is a dwarf snake plant especially prone to mealybugs due to its compact, tightly clustered leaves that create ideal hiding spots. Spider mites are a secondary threat in dry heated rooms. Fungus gnats appear if the heavy soil mix is overwatered. Root mealybugs are easy to miss until the plant declines noticeably.

White woolly deposits in the dense leaf cluster and at soil level; plant collapses slowly Unpot, remove root mealybugs, repot in fresh mix; drench with neem oil; treat foliage with alcohol

Pale speckled patches on leaf surfaces; fine webbing between leaves in dry air Improve humidity, wipe leaves, apply insecticidal soap or neem oil spray weekly

Larvae chew fine roots; adults fly from compost when watered Water only when soil is bone dry; apply Bti drench; use yellow sticky traps
