What's eating my taccarum weddellianum?

Taccarum weddellianum is a rare South American tropical aroid rarely reported with significant pest problems in cultivation, but standard aroid pests apply. Spider mites and mealybugs are the most likely threats in warm indoor or greenhouse settings. Keep humidity high and inspect foliage regularly, as this uncommon plant can be difficult to replace if severely infested.

Pale stippling and fine webbing on leaf undersides; leaves may yellow and drop in severe infestations Maintain high humidity; wash foliage with water; apply insecticidal soap or neem oil every 7 days for 3–4 weeks

White woolly deposits at leaf joints and on petioles; stunted, sticky growth Dab with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab; follow with neem oil spray; isolate the plant from other aroids
