I saw those on my monstera 2 weeks ago and it really looks like thrips. I just gave it a big shower, left for 10 days et now it seems like they're back. They really look like thrips, but I don't see any damage on the plant. Any advices ? I already isolated the plant (the moment I noticed them) and I plan on treating it with insecticide.

Short answer: Propably yes.
Long answer: Proooobaaaablyyyyy yeeeeeeeees.
Empfehle neemöl.
Ordentlich verdünnen dann ist die Sache relativ schnell vorbei.
Langfristig natürlich Feuchtigkeit regulieren
One could say it’s even arguable that your thrips have monstera.
One things for sure, there’s some kind of pest or eggs on that plant you should rid asap before they become mobile
Yep. They can be washed away but they will return until to destroy the source. Likely the larvae are in the growing medium, a nearby plant perhaps. Time to go wild on everything cause these jerks won’t stop. Neem oil, various other insect killers, gnat bits… get the arsenal and get to work. Good luck! May the force be with you.
Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew is needed
Good luck…
Honestly the only thing I can 100% recommend against these monsters are Lizetan Sticks. They are little sticks that contain systemic insecticide. You can most likely get them off of amazon and you put them into the soil, water and the trips are gone within a few days. Trust me I fought for half a year with neem, dont even bother if you don’t have to because all it takes for them to come back is a single thrips in some nook or crevas or new leaf and you won’t get them all with water neem or any other non systemic spray.
100% yes 🥺
100% thrips, sorry op these things arent no joke!!
Yes, it definitely has thrips. You can see the larvae on your leaves. If it were my plant, I would just throw it away. If you want to keep it, do the following: 1. Uproot the plant. 2. Remove all of the soil from the roots and throw it away. 3. Rinse off the leaves, stems, and roots with running water. 4. Treat the stems and leaves with something that targets thrips. 5. Switch the plant to hydro or semi hydro while it recovers (soil can contain larvae). If you don’t want to do hydro or semi hydro, pot it up in new soil. 6. Quarantine for a couple of life cycles to be sure all of the thrips are gone. 7. Treat all of your other plants. 8. Consider beneficial insects moving forward.
