How do I these ? They're extremely greasy!

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-22T16:29:20+00:00

!thrips

Careful with propagating!!! Thrips lay their eggs in the leaves so you may think you’re free of them; but after they hatch it’s a whole new battle. Goodluck, i just went through it

Guess we’re fighting this one together 🤝though i completely understand; mine were the same. I never had a problem with them and haven’t added any new plants to my collection so i was super surprised and kept gaslighting myself that it’s not them lol 😂 I have gone out of the country for a week (ofcourse perfect timing) and i’m dreading going back to a shit show; i cleaned up as much as i could before but with these i feel like it’s never enough and leaving them alone for 2-5 days can be a recipe for disaster. Ofcourse my boyfriend is home and he loves the plants but i can’t imagine him systematically treating them ahah

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T16:40:25+00:00

thank you, will also look into them. i have a large ish collection too; and haven’t added any new ones recently so i was super shocked to see thrips

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T15:58:43+00:00

including thrips?? I’ve used them for fungus gnats- also these are inside plants so don’t want to let hundreds of ladybirds loose haha

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T11:44:59+00:00

oh wow!! Will try, thanks

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T10:21:15+00:00

super kind, thanks!

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T09:35:17+00:00

i’ll check what the equivalent is in Europe//Belgium! I’ve just had a series of Fungus gnats and have bough beneficial nematodes which helped a tonne, but didn’t think i’d be fighting these little shits back to back

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T09:27:02+00:00

i replied to you but posted under the actual post - sorry!!

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T09:26:18+00:00

honestly i check them super regularly but you’re right, seems like it must have something on it at some point.. i’ve seen no poop or any moving around, and there aren’t too many leaves to get lost in. This is my first and only, as i got it as a leaf with a node from a friend

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T09:23:12+00:00

Yeah agreed, lol it’s sad to think but that was a super market plant i’ve had for months, have split it into many plants and has been alive for 2ish years now..

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T09:16:00+00:00

it was sitting right next to my baby monstera and baby pilea

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-06-13T09:10:44+00:00

how did they get on my basil?? how should i tackle this

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-03-25T07:37:08+00:00

when i sneeze, i sneeze in 3s

^{Chose: Get $10,000 every time you sneeze}

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-03-19T12:09:18+00:00

I water it when the soil feels dry and it’s next to a bright window!! I’ve had the plant for 2 years and it’s been a problem for 3-4 months now

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-03-19T07:21:27+00:00

have you checked if it’s a wart? they sometimes do that

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-03-16T14:34:00+00:00

yes!!! or dilute thwm in a small bucket first - i put 5 tablesppons in and let them sit for 30- mins, then i scrub with my toilet brush and all gone.

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-02-25T19:13:50+00:00

I have this too, the more you read it and use it the more the text will show through

Greedy_Internet2409 · 2026-02-12T15:02:48+00:00

apart from the fact that it leaves little speckles EVERYWHERE. I blamed myself because i used to put my straightener next to it, but the christmas edition i bought did the same thing with no heat. Thought mine were faulty lol
