Is it thrips that cause little dark specks on leaves that looks like soil? Used magnifying glass, nothing moving. 🥲I just blasted it with insecticidal soap.

My Finley girl for tax🥰

Omg thank you for the doggy tax 🥰 I find that thrip damage looks like silver scrapes but some people can manage to spot the actual bugs - my eyes arent nearly that good lol

I believe so… I just replied on here with a very looooooooong post on the subject… I had the exact same problem and I concluded in the end that it was thrips. I cant find the post I replied to … it was to a ‘Deanne’ I think. Am I missing something, is there no way in settings to follow a thread? 🪴
