My Ginseng has been rapidly loosing leaves and Ive seen little bugs on it. I’m pretty sure that’s what the problem is but what should I do to get ride of them?

Could you maybe try to get a pic of the bugs?

Hmmmm, it’s hard to know for sure for sure, could be thrips but idk if that’s a leg or some type of proboscis mouth on the second picture

No matter the pest it might benefit from a good shower off during its next watering cycle, dirty leaves block photosynthesis and attract bugs and diseases

I’m not totally sure but those could be fungus gnats. Their larvae eat plant roots. I’ve lost a lot to them 😞 neem oil spray and/or sticky traps can help with the fully grown ones but I’m not sure about the larvae.

Good idea! For larvae I’ve heard watering in certain specialized nematodes helps
