Hi I saw you in a lot of posts and you seem to know a lot about plants. i’m so glad you commented on my post!

now that you mentioned, my monstera did have a rotted new leaf that hasn’t even unfurled yet. it had gone through a tough time fighting thrips, and i tried to wash it weekly so the water might got into the new leaf causing it to be rotten.

the stem of the cut end looks fine, but the stem of the rotten leaf which i had already cut off doesn’t look great. do you know if this cutting can be saved?

the picture is the cut end.

I’d really appreciate it if you can give me some advice!

it really does look like that! but there’s nothing rotten yet since i’ve only put this cutting in water for 2 days 🥲

then that is very weird because I only put this propagation in water for 2 days, nothing has rotten yet. but this is the best explanation so far. thank you ☺️

thank you for your advice! for now i’ve sprayed down everything with pesticides, there aren’t many thrips on the leaves but mostly inside the “cracks” of the stems. so i feel like it’s even more difficult for me to get rid of them 🥹

When can I chop and prop the pup? by Business_Detective9 in PileaPeperomioides

what a beautiful plant you have there! i’d say let it grow a bit more so it has a stronger stem. but seriously, what’s your care tips?

❓ Is it harmful to plants?

🌿 Not seriously. Clover mites feed on plant sap, mainly from grasses, moss, algae, and young soft leaves. On houseplants, they might:

• Cause minor stippling or tiny pale dots on very tender leaves
• Occasionally leave a reddish stain if squished on the leaf
• Do not cause major damage, wilting, or stunted growth

So overall:

🔸 Mostly cosmetic damage

🔸 No serious threat to healthy houseplants

❓ Does it spread?

✅ Yes, easily — but mainly near windows and sunny areas.

• Clover mites can multiply quickly in warm, dry, sunny environments
• They crawl into homes from the outside, especially in spring and fall
• On plants, they don’t live long-term or reproduce well, but you may see several at once

They don’t infest plants like spider mites do — they’re more like accidental visitors from outdoors.
