# I was graced today by my white princess philodendron’s first pink…

_Postat av \_rwm\_ den 2023-09-15_

I was graced today by my white princess philodendron’s first pink patch only to further inspect that I am having a fungus gnat and thrips problem on almost all my plants! I have way too many and can not isolate each one. Any tips?

Can’t post links here but search YouTube for aloha plant life: diy pest control spray. A good homemade pest treatment and preventative that smells nice and actually works

Fungus gnats won’t hurt your plant. They’re just annoying. Thrips are a bigger problem. I would start spraying all the plants every 2-3 days alternating between Insecticidal Soap and Neem Oil. Keep spraying consistently for at least a month and keep an eye out for resurgences after that. You can also try adding systemic granules to the soil. I’ve never had thrips but I’ve heard they can be hard to get rid of so good luck!
