About a month and a half ago I brought home an Alocasia from the grocery store and I believe it had thrips. Something I’ve never dealt with. I treated and all my other plants with Bondide. I notice these bite marks on my Pothos is this thrip damage? Also I included a picture of the pest I found when I brought home the Alocasia ☹️ I’m so paranoid now and don’t even what to think about bringing a new plant home. Can anyone recommend a good nursery that sells online that they trust? I’ve heard good things about Steve’s Leaves. I’m in California,

    You can expect to get some pest on plants especially plants rooted in soil. You just need a routine of quarantining and pretreating for potential insects. Pests can come with the plants or they can come in when a door or window is opened. I thoroughly spray every new plant with a soapy Dawn dish water solution. I spray under leaves and under the pot. I let some flow into the soil. I quarantine 2 to 4 weeks to protect my plants. You can add Mosquito Bits granules to the soil to prevent fungus gnats (white flies) larvae from living in the soil.

      Agree with Sunny. Pests can also come from online store plants. No guarantee. Quarantine and pretreat. Some plants can be soaked in a treatment solution after you bring them home. That’s what I just did with a bunch Hoyas I got. Soaked them all as a preventative.
