  • Thrips are minute, slender insects
    with fringed wings and unique
    asymmetrical mouthparts. Different
    thrips species feed mostly on plants
    by puncturing and sucking up the
    contents.
    The life cycle consists of five stages:
    egg, larval, prepupal, pupal and
    adult.
    Sticky traps: These
    traps are helpful for controlling
    adult thrips.
    Spray: If an infestation
    is out of control, you will have to
    spray with an insecticide.
    Today’s video is definitely one I did not want to have to make but I decided since I am going through the struggles of houseplant pests, I’d show you all the steps I take to ensure my plants survival. Thrips are probably the worst plant pest I have personally experienced. It’s definitely better to catch them earlier in their life cycle before they turn into flying adults. I hope this video gives you some insight on how to treat your own plants for pests! Thumbs up the video if you also hate thrips! Don’t forget to subscribe so you won’t miss a new video!💚🪴

    Great thrips video! I definitely recommend a systemic for your soil. Attacking every area without having to ditch the soil on everu plant. Plus it would act as a preventative for your plants that haven't been attacked yet. If you go that route you just add a bit more every 3 to 6 months. Good luck with your battle, it's inevitable for all of us with huge collections.

    I just found my first ever Thrip buggers on my huge Philodendron Selloum this am! I'm freaking out and instead of having the nice day I had planned I spent it working on my plant lol! It is a HUGE plant so my husband had to carry it to the shower where I sprayed the leaves and then some. I ordered a systemic granular treatment on line. I'll be putting it in the dirt, then watering the soil. The insecticide will travel from roots to leaves and when any bug bites it'll be dead! Much easier than weekly spraying on such a huge plant. I haven't seen it on anything else. Let us know how your plants are doing!

    Hi Kayla! Not going to ask how you are doing! UGH!
    BLOWTORCH, BLOWTORCH, BLOWTORCH! LOL!
    Do you know which plant started the infestation? I always quarantine new plants to the upstairs bathroom. They get sprayed with Neem oil, alcohol, peppermint soap and water for 2 weeks. If I do not see any pest, they join the rest of the plant party.
    Good luck! Keep fighting the good fight!

      I have no idea which plant started it 🥲 I just know I hadn’t been on top of my pest control game like I should have been! I alsooooo am the worst at quarantining my new plants 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve been doing a little bit better about it but I’m thinking maybe my Monstera started it because that is my problem plant and I’m over it. I have pretty much ignored it the past few months so I had it coming. 😭😭

    Aw man. That sucks! Thrip are aweful for the mere fact that they so difficult to spot. Often for me I see the damage long before the actual bug!
    You may consider benefitial nematodes for your soil before cutting the roots off. They eat the pupae stage of thrip in the dirt.
    Hope ya get them managed ! So disheartening when you discover them, especially in large collections. 💚🌿💚🤞

    Keeping your plants out of the light is going to weaken the plants, causing them to chemically communicate stress. Thus causing thrips to be more attracted to your plants. The best thing you could possibly do is just leave them where they are and add a large amount of predatory mites. your situation you probably would need about 10,000 mites. This would end your problem overnight as those amount of predatory mites would run out of food by eating all of your thrips. It's worth the money to not have to deal with the stress, and there are other predatory bugs to deal with adult thrips as well. Biological control is the only True control for House plants. Another thing you could do is to add beneficial nematodes which would reduce the chances of thrips coming back and also help to read the soil ofthey're larva and eggs
