Well friends, my time has finally come. With 100+ houseplants, I’ve spotted thrips on two of them. I’ve sprayed all leaves with spinosad, and added/watered in systemic granules into the soil. I have also treated nearby plants, though neither of the visually affected ones were touching other plants. I believe they sat undetected for a good bit as they were found on a philodendron I got many months ago. I was not quite as adamant (crazy) about quarantine + new home treatment then as I am now. Unfortunately, my mind is going absolutely insane thinking that my entire collection is infested, though I know that’s not the case. They were spotted on four leaves between two plants at most. Both are healthy-looking, vibrant, and have new growth. Any additional tips (or simple reassurance to calm my mind) are welcome. TIA! 🤍🪴
