# Hello everyone - good evening. Can anyone please help me identify…

_Geplaatst door DeeDee op 2024-09-19_

Hello everyone - good evening. Can anyone please help me identify this white things crawling on my plants? This plant is in a terrarium. The plant look healthy and as a matter of fact, there's a new leaf that's growing beautifully. I wanted to transfer it to another bigger terrarium but I wanna know first whats this white things bc I have other plantsas well.  
Thank you in advance!

My guess is thrips and I’m dealing with them now 😖

What did you use? 😩

I’ve isolated the plant and keep spraying the leaves with insecticidal soap. It’s definitely helped to reduce them down. I was told to be consistent with it until I don’t see anymore. It’s been maybe a week so far of me doing this almost daily. If I have to continue for another week or two I might look into what else I need to do that would work

These are springtails, they are harmless and actually really good for terrariums they run round eating all the mould and keep the terrarium clean, they do no harm to your plants. I would keep them in there.
