# Hi all! I am currently treating my entire collection for thrips…

_Posted by Katie on 2025-09-07_

Hi all! I am currently treating my entire collection for thrips (evidence on a couple plants, but everything is close together/no room to quarantine so I’m treating all as infected). Last week I added systemic granules to the soil and gave a good spray wing Captain Jack’s Dead Bug brew. Is it safe to fertilize at the same time? Google has been unhelpful :(

Yes it's safe to fertilize but don't over water so you don't flush the systemic out of the pot.
