How many pouches of beneficials do indeed like per plant? None of my plants are that large and I have around 100 but they are all close to each other for the most part. How many should I be getting, it’s for thrips!

If your plants aren’t big, say mostly 30cm or smaller, then you could probably do 1 sachet for every 2 plants, as long as the plants are touching, so the mites can crawl between them. Wherever you’re buying the mites from should advise you, but that’s been my general rule of thumb.

Good luck with the thrips!
