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. ![7개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/6mBuq4GzQtqgoL8DaiCsMA.webp?size=large) ![7개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/b5Giv5C9QBmjb2QN9K2Tag.webp?size=large) ![7개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/F2xn4o_DQQSM7muXCT85-w.webp?size=large) ![7개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/0dplVhQzTAmV-V08K0lATQ.webp?size=large) ![7개 중 5번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/RijobIBIQW6AQ30H5Y8biQ.webp?size=large) ![7개 중 6번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/d_dFr9VKQniUOk3xpNkemA.webp?size=large) ![7개 중 7번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RfuzUU0I470Vcha_CNI5XCIqqEp-VtQZFqmqcMMetiU/Cy74uLvBQRuwmtQrnBhhiA.webp?size=large) ## 7개의 댓글 ### Debbie님이 2024-07-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. #### Chelle님이 2024-07-15에 답변했습니다. Thank you. Wow this is a nightmare ### StringofMonsteras님이 2024-07-16에 댓글을 남겼어요. Burn the house down? Praying for u! #### Chelle님이 2024-07-19에 답변했습니다. Omg I’m about to! I’m still replanting and treating everything today. #### StringofMonsteras님이 2024-07-19에 답변했습니다. Hope your plants make it! ### Mugsy님이 2024-07-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. #### Chelle님이 2024-07-19에 답변했습니다.
