What's eating my sansevieria phillipsiae?

Sansevieria Phillipsiae is a slow-growing, drought-tolerant houseplant with few natural enemies indoors. Mealybugs are the primary threat, hiding in the tight leaf bases. Spider mites can strike in very dry rooms. Overwatering-driven fungus gnats are a secondary concern. Prompt isolation of affected plants limits spread.

White cottony deposits at the base of leaves and in crevices; sticky secretions Treat with isopropyl alcohol on a swab; follow with neem oil spray and repeat weekly until clear

Tiny yellow or bronze speckling on leaf surfaces; fine webbing under leaves in dry conditions Rinse foliage thoroughly; apply insecticidal soap or neem oil; raise ambient humidity

Root damage from larvae in wet soil; persistent adult flies around the pot Reduce watering frequency; top-dress with coarse sand; apply Bti to soil
