Question about Philippe here. He’s had thrips. They were bad. I’ve sprayed him thrice now in the last week and have seen no new signs. I’m hoping he’s cured, but I’m absolutely ready to keep treating him every week for like…the rest of his life if necessary! My question is: Considering the damage to his leaves, would it be more feasible to chop him, repot, and start over? Or are his leaves still able to photosynthesize and nourish him until he grows new ones? He has more leaves than this but these are the two most damaged. I’m kind of guessing I should cut the old leaves as new ones grow? Advice appreciated. He’s my first Selloum and I’ve been dying for one of these for years! I acquired him about 2 years ago and I’m reluctant to bring him back to square one.
