This is my first time growing a pineapple in Sydney, Australia. Does anyone know what these yellow marks are? They have begun appearing and correlate to the pictures of the underside of the leaves I have posted as well. It seems to be some sort of structural breakdown on the underside of the leaves?
View attachment 75827I am worried it is something bad happening.
Any help?
I dont think its something that you should be worried about. However here are some
common issues:
The most common pests of this plant are mealybugs. They are small, soft-bodied insects that you can sometimes find on the leaves, stems, or fruit. They are sap suckers and often act as disease spreaders. You can treat them with pesticides but read the label carefully to ensure that they are safe for these plants. Other pests include scales, thrips, mites, and symphylids.
Here is some more details.
