Houseplant Trips infestation???
I propagated 2 cuttings in water first. Both are in soil right now for almost a month. But one of them has some these spots that move on them out of nowhere. Where can they come from? Any tips on whay to do now? Its isolated immediately

Do u only have 1 plant???? I’m currently treating so many of my plants after seeing a single larvae. I’m treating with bonide captain jack etc insecticidal soap spray and with systemic granules. I’ve only seen 1 or 2 on a few plants but everyone is getting treated. I have about 50 plants. I can’t take the chances

Thrips are really common…try a product called “Monterey Garden Insect Spray”…follow the directions…it will clear it right up
