Thrips!!! Keep it away from any plants, give it a really good shower down, isolate and treat with pesticide

#### Angel antwoordde op 2024-07-01

THANK YOU! I’ve put it in the shower and sprayed with lots of pesticide.

#### Angel antwoordde op 2024-07-01

Would you suggest I repot too?

#### Alyssa antwoordde op 2024-07-01

No problem! Good! Hopefully it pulls through, probably do a shower everyday (not the soil just the leaves and stems so it doesn’t rot) and then treat weekly with pesticide for a good month, thrips are so hard to get rid of

#### Alyssa antwoordde op 2024-07-01

Yes! If you can, that’ll definitely get rid of most of the eggs and larva in the soil, make sure to rinse off the roots really well too
