Houseplant question

Any ideas what happening with my dracena? Been like this a few months. Constantly checked for pests and sprayed anyway but nothing.

    I’m probably wrong, but that looks like water drop damage from spraying ?

    Just some plant safe spray right before I took the photo, Its never been sprayed before though and it's been going spotty since March (sorry i wasn't very clear)

    Do you know what Dracena it is ?  It doesn't resemble any I know .  I can't see any leaves as such which I would normally associate with Dracena.
    Looking at the markings, it could be the residue of some scale insect ?  Never really a good idea to spray a plant unless you know what you are trying to eradicate tho as you can do more damage than you realise.
    Hopefully, someone will be along soon to answer your query :)

    It's a dracena marginata tri colour. I've had experience with mealies, thrips and spider mites in the past. It's the same treatment I'd successfully used for those previously. Tbf it's isolated and potentially on its way out. In the unlikely event its damaged more its not the end of the world 🤷‍♀️

    Ah right, I know the one you mean now  but can't offer any real help - sorry :)

    It's next to a naturally spotty croton. At the minute I'm stuck with it just copying 😂
