I got 6 plants the other day, realized one had thrips when I got home. I gave them all several insecticidal baths and a repot then chopped the one with thrips down about an inch from the soil. The following day, another had spider mites so I chopped it as well. How long do I keep all the plants in jail?

I believe 2-3 weeks or until pest is gone.  
I know when I get new plants I wait 2 weeks before putting it in the herd.

How do you guys quarantine if there’s no space?

With a tote bin

Put em in the garage or outside in our covered patio. Where they are isolated.
