Y'all, it finally happened. I received some thripsy plants in the mail. I just spent $80 on beneficials and I'm currently sealing a small greenhouse cabinet to quarantine them (they were expensive for my budget so I don't want to toss them! Probably dumb...) and I watched some youtube videos on how to take care of mites so that I can keep a population going. As of now, I have conquered spider mites and mealy bugs, but thrips... I have fears. Tell me it's gonna be ok 😭 Here's a photo of the girl that got me in this trouble...

    you will prevail!!!! thrips aren't super difficult to get rid of, use a systemic insecticide. at least it's not fungus gnats!

      Oh I already had fungus gnats 🤣😭 I don't use systemics, but I did just learn to culture my own predatory mites, so we'll see how that + mechanical removal goes!
