I’m using diatomaceous earth to kill thrips on one of my plants, and it has soaked up the water from the soil, because I watered the plant not too long ago. I know that it becomes ineffective when wet, does anyone have a solution to keep it dry? Or does it work the same when wet?
Wish I had a solution but this happened to me also no matter how much diatomaceous earth I used. And once you water the plant again it turns into a disgusting goo. And as far a si know when it’s wet it’s not effective.

For thrips I’d suggest systemic houseplant granules, works wet, just be sure to follow all precaution directions
