What's eating my sansevieria trifasciata black gold?

Sansevieria Trifasciata 'Black Gold' (Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Gold') is a hardy snake plant with dark green, gold-edged leaves. Mealybugs are the most frequent indoor pest, concealing themselves between leaf bases. Spider mites appear in very dry air. Scale insects and fungus gnats round out the risk, both typically triggered by overwatering or poor airflow.

White cottony masses deep between tightly bunched leaves; honeydew deposits and yellowing; infestations grow large before they become visible Separate leaves and apply isopropyl alcohol directly to colonies; follow with a neem oil spray over the entire plant; repeat after 2 weeks; use imidacloprid drench for heavy infestations

Faint stippling and webbing on leaf surfaces, especially during winter when heating systems reduce indoor humidity Wipe down leaves; boost humidity with a nearby water tray; spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil every 7 days until clear

Hard waxy brown bumps on leaves and at the base; slow yellowing and reduced vigour; sooty mould on honeydew Remove physically with a damp cloth or toothbrush; treat with neem oil or systemic insecticide; inspect monthly as scale spreads slowly between plants

Root damage from larvae in wet compost; adults hover around the soil surface when the plant is disturbed Allow soil to dry almost completely between waterings — this plant tolerates drought; use yellow sticky traps and apply Bti drench to kill larvae
