What's eating my episcia 'silver skies'?

Episcia 'Silver Skies' is a trailing, silver-leaved houseplant grown for its ornamental foliage and delicate flowers. Mealybugs are the chief pest, hiding along its creeping stolons. Spider mites can damage leaves in dry air. Provide high humidity, inspect runners frequently, and isolate new plants before introducing them to a collection.

Cottony white masses along stolons and in leaf axils; honeydew deposits; reduced vigor and discolored leaves Remove with alcohol-tipped swabs on each colony; spray the whole plant including undersides with neem oil every 7 days

Pale speckling and loss of silver sheen on leaf surfaces; fine webbing in leaf junctions Boost humidity around the plant; wash leaves gently; apply insecticidal soap spray and repeat every 5–7 days

Larvae damage shallow roots; adults present around moist potting mix; plant vigor declines Allow the top inch of potting mix to dry between waterings; use yellow sticky traps; drench with Bti if persistent
