what are these silvery streaks on the leaves??

This why I have Spa Day for my plants every month or at least every six weeks. One half cups each Castile Peppermint/Tea Tree soap, One cup of 70% Alcohol, and one tablespoon of Hydrogen Peroxide. This mixture has been working for me a little over a year now!!! Good luck with your collection!! 😊

Hi Jeff! I hate thrips! Thanks for showing what the damage looks like.

Aaaarrghhh! I hate thrips. Especially thrips in the butt cheeks! 😅 😂 😭
Seriously though, you have been battling these boogers for quite some time, and Im sorry you're dealing with it, but so grateful you demonstrate that it's part of having plants and so many of yours stay so beautiful 💚

I slap my house plants with diatomaceous earth and it kills everything!!! I seran wrap the soil part and use a brush to dusk all areas.... leaves, stems.. I leave it for 5 to 10 mins and wash with soap and water after. You can ket it sur longer or course. But when you notice how dust collect in an area, you know that them bugs got coated!

Ooh...I love that plant!!! And just cn't provide enough humidity for it. 😢😢😢

[potassiums]

Don't put it in the compost! Thrips don't die in the heat it creates and can still live and breed and then the thrips spread more! Chuck it in the trash!

So you find PC1 to be effective against thrips? That's what I'm using for my fall prevention routine, and I'm hoping it will take out any hidden pests as I've found just a few on some plants near the windows.

i didn’t know they could be white 😮 i guess i have a bunch on my orchids…

[GreenIsGoodYeah]

Having that many plants in your collection, I’m curious if you have ever been thrip-free. Because I’m struggling defeating them for 4 months. 4 months! And they’re still in my collection..! Oh I hate them. 👿

No risk of killing the plant without photosynthesis? Or do you count on/hope for the stored energy in the roots?
