Plants been struggling for while. Been in the sick plant shelf. But yesterday I found these little white specks and they were moving. So I put it outside. I'm pretty new to collecting plants. Just want to make sure I know what I'm dealing with. Mister sick plant hasn't been touching other plants but has been around plants before I moved him. When I moved him to the plant er I checked his roots and some newer soil. But yesterday I noticed these little guys. I've been monitoring my other plants have sticky tape on them and nothing as of yet. Either way this Micans is going in the trash. He's annoyed me to much. I also bottom water my plants unless they are getting their monthly shower, and he was sitting away from a south facing window.

Thrips for sure!! 😢💀🪦
If you’re in the states and one that allows it, get bonide systemic for it or any other exposed plants asap!
Wooooooof yeah you’re in the trenches
Treat with imidacloprid, granular preferably (bayer tree and shrub). Just need a little bit! And spray with spinosad (dead bug brew)
Take it ou of the soil rinse in the bath tup with the shower head decent pressure then repot with diatomaceous earth everywhere and hope for the best 🫡 re apply the earth and spray any leaves with neem oil at night if you want for a couple days just to be sure after
