Take a look at this gorgeous new leaf unfurling on Luther! After losing a couple of leaves to thrips he’s pretty much none the worse for wear and is coming back strong! ♥️

I am also battling thrips on my monstera but a new leaf also just opened so your post gives me hope it can still thrive and win the battle over these pests!💚💪

You can do it! Just be persistent until the buggers are gone! You have to eliminate the babies AFTER they hatch but BEFORE they can make new babies. So like, treating every day or two for a week or so, then I dropped off to treating every week. Now I treat every watering.
