What's eating my drop tongue plant (silver schismatoglottis)?

Drop Tongue Plant is a tropical aroid grown as a houseplant and shares the typical aroid pest profile: spider mites in low humidity, mealybugs in leaf axils, and fungus gnats in wet soil. Its broad, silver-patterned leaves make stippling damage easy to spot early. High humidity and correct moisture management keep this plant pest-resistant.

Pale stippling and a dull, washed-out appearance on the silver-green leaves; fine webbing on undersides Maintain humidity above 60%; wipe leaves with damp cloth weekly; apply neem oil spray every 7 days until clear

Fluffy white wax colonies in leaf axils and along petioles; sticky honeydew drips to lower leaves Dab colonies with 70% isopropyl alcohol; follow with a neem oil spray; isolate the plant during treatment

Adult flies hover near moist soil; larvae damage fine roots in soggy or peat-heavy potting mix Let soil surface dry between waterings; apply Bti drench; add a layer of horticultural grit to deter egg-laying adults
