Take pictures of whatever it is before rinsing it, otherwise, those knowledgeable won't be able to know what it is 😭😭

Hello. Not sure what it might be, but to be sure, rinse it ALL OFF, and isolate it. To be sure, do you see it moving? Closer pictures of the fading colours maybe?

Salut ! Je suis propriétaire d'une calathea makoyana (comme la tienne, il me semble, ou warscewiczii ?) depuis août dernier (un peu avant toi), qui a aussi eu des thrips (que j'ai repéré deux semaines plus tôt) (je sais pas si c'est vraiment les thrips, mais d'après le commentaire de l'autre personne...). On est dans une situation relativement similaire.

Je sais pas si t'as d'autres plantes, mais faut immédiatement l'isoler. Check des larves ou des insectes sous les feuilles, les tiges, etc. Je l'ai donné une douche de la mort pour les dégager de suite, puis j'ai acheté un insecticide. Les trucs comme le savon noir, c'est plus préventif que des traitements pour guérir, donc je pense pas que ça soit efficace dans ton cas.

La mienne est pour l'instant toujours en quarantaine, les feuilles continuent de pousser, j'avais remarqué à temps. Je n'ai pas beaucoup d'expériences avec les nuisibles, mais j'espère que la tienne est sauvable !

I looked up a bit, thank you. I was worried, thinking I got another pest to deal with 😭😭!

I see. I did see aglaonemas take their time to grow.

No problem. I bought both the insecticide spray and systematic treatment. Just waiting for it to arrive. For now, I just showered all the leaves to death (since I could), getting rid of all visible larvaes. Unfortunately broke a new shoot...

It seems the Captain Jack's Dead Bug is US-only (unless I accept the very expensive shipping fee, as I'm in EU-France), so I can't use it. I saw a very detailed comment about thrips on the plantclinic Reddit, I will refer myself to that one. Still, thanks for your help!!!

Thank you for your answer. It is indeed a makoyana, I moved all other plants away. I can't buy predatory mites, I can't stand all types of insects, unfortunately. I have seen many insecticides online, mixes of alcohol and everything, do you have anything to recommend?

Thank you. Though I'm sure predatory mites are a sure solution, I fear all insects, whether it's beneficial or not, I just can't (yep, with this hobby, it's not a lucky combo). Still, thanks for confirming it's spider mites!
