# Day 1 of rescue vs day 120! This poor little monstera was absolutely…

Day 1 of rescue vs day 120! This poor little monstera was absolutely covered in thrips and my coworker was throwing it away. I named him Frankie (aka Frankenstein) since I believed he could come back. Thankfully I was right! 😁

what did u do to save it ?

#### Bernie Botanical 🌿 replied on 2025-11-17

Lots of showers and neem oil! 😊 I also kept it outside during several of the warmer months so that any natural predators could control the thrips
