My Rhaphidophora tetrasperma that ive had for 6 years has suddenly started popping out mottled leaves on various branches. It is still popping out leaves left and right, so im confused as to what the reason of these sudden mottled leaves is..
I recently moved and it is now standing near a south facing window instead of a west facing window as before.
I also recently discovered thrips on my new thai con monstera, but ive isolated it and this doesn't look like thrips damage.
Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it??

If you recently moved it from west to south facing, it could be from too much light.

Hard to be sure from just this pic but if your thai con also has thrips then my money is on them. Best to nuke everything with systemics, if two plants have em, all of your plants likely have em.
First guess is thrips and the second one is mosaic virus. A while ago r. terasperma patch from tissue culture got infected with it (mosaic) and if you have a plant from that then good luck. Google will give you better info about virus. You can see thrips’ poop a.k.a. dark dots under the leaves if it’s thrips.
