# I saw a thrip on my dieffenbachia tonight. So after a slight nervous…

_Posted by Greenthumbhopeful on 2026-05-30_

I saw a thrip on my dieffenbachia tonight. So after a slight nervous breakdown, I showered the plant, used neem oil and the systemic granules in the soil. Also isolated the plant. Now I’ve added granules to all surrounding plants and sprayed with Neem oil. Any other suggestions?
