Noticed today when watering I have thripes on one of my plants. I showered it down real well in the shower and sprayed it with Bonide Insecticidal Soap and have it quarantined. Anything else y’all have done that you have notice has worked well for you?

These are such a magnet for thrips in my experience! I also put systemic on top of the soil to keep them at bay

Diatomaceous Earth is a personal fave.
