On clearance and was infected, I’ve been isolating it and using neem oil. I’m pretty sure it’s thrips? Under the leaves. Any other suggestions, or how long to do this neem oil. Change soil? I had one before and it did not do well so I’m trying to everything the right way.

Washing off the plant (shower) with water does wonders to just wash those guys off. I would check every other day and once you aren’t seeing pests give it another week or two before you call it safe. Just my opinion though
