I have an infestation of thrips, spider mites and some sort of bacteria or fungus infection. I’m not sure exactly how I should handle this. Does anyone know if neem max spray (70% neem) is helpful? Can I spray anything on the roots to sterilize them when I re pot? I’m going to take them out of there pot and shower them before I re pot. Can I use dawn dish soap on the plant? I’m transplanting to semi hydro. I’m so overwhelmed! We bought some plants about a month ago and they must have been infected. Any advice on the steps I should take would be so appreciated. My plants make me so happy and I can’t stand that they are all suffering. Thanks! Yesterday, most of these holes weren’t here. It happened overnight. It was that fast. I also have what looks like webbing on the pothos in the morning when I got up. ![7件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/6mBuq4GzQtqgoL8DaiCsMA.webp?size=large) ![7件中2件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/b5Giv5C9QBmjb2QN9K2Tag.webp?size=large) ![7件中3件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/F2xn4o_DQQSM7muXCT85-w.webp?size=large) ![7件中4件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/0dplVhQzTAmV-V08K0lATQ.webp?size=large) ![7件中5件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/RijobIBIQW6AQ30H5Y8biQ.webp?size=large) ![7件中6件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/d_dFr9VKQniUOk3xpNkemA.webp?size=large) ![7件中7件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/Cy74uLvBQRuwmtQrnBhhiA.webp?size=large) ## 7件のコメント ### Debbieさんが2024-07-15にコメントしました Rinse off all your foliage-even the undersides. Roots can sit briefly in diluted hydrogen peroxide mixture. Dilute dawn soap or neem spray. Good luck. There are also sprays like @#$% Off which is a concentrated multipurpose pest spray. Good luck. #### Chelleさんが2024-07-15に返信しました Thank you. Wow this is a nightmare ### StringofMonsterasさんが2024-07-16にコメントしました Burn the house down? Praying for u! #### Chelleさんが2024-07-19に返信しました Omg I’m about to! I’m still replanting and treating everything today. #### StringofMonsterasさんが2024-07-19に返信しました Hope your plants make it! ### Mugsyさんが2024-07-17にコメントしました I totally know what you are going through. I’m new to plants as well and dealing with pest is very overwhelming. Take a deep breath. Spraying with rubbing alcohol will work for spider mites. The key is to treat it several times across several days until you see the mites are gone. Thrips require treatment (horticultural oil, soap, shower down entire plant) every five days for at least a month and monitor the plants regularly for several months. You can also reach out to a Planta expert, that’s what I did. #### Chelleさんが2024-07-19に返信しました Thank you I didn’t know I could reach out to them --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
