I’ve been dealing with a mid level/minor thrip infestation for months now. My plants are still growing and they are still healthy, as I make sure to spray them thoroughly every week with insecticidal soap which has prevented a full on, catastrophic infestation. (picture of the soap that I use). I’ve only ever found 1 or two thrips on my plants at once, but they did kill my 3ft tall adansonii when I first discovered I had an infestation of them, it was unfortunately too late for her <\3 I’ve kept them manageable by using the insecticidal soap, but I cannot, for the life of me, get rid of them fully.
It’s so frustrating trying to look for advice online because everyone just suggests systemic granules😭 I feel like our only options are insecticidal soap or a mixture of neem oil/Castile soap/isopropyl.
(adding for post requirements Each plants has a different watering schedule, some have moss poles so they are watered less than others. 10-12hrs of sunlight a day)
