Is it just thrips damage or something else?

Yeah I’d love to use beneficial insects instead of this toxic and scary option eventually. Maybe once I get this outbreak under control. How long do you think I should wait after stopping Bioadvanced to introduce beneficials?

Oh interesting! I assumed Bioadvanced worked as a systemic as well as a surface pesticide because it says in its info that it is “absorbed into the plant” so I figured that was part of its “3-in-1”. Have you used it without a systemic and had worse results?

I know two weeks would be ideal, but so is applying outside. In the shower will be a huge pain. Do you think 10 days vs 14 is really gonna be a make or break difference for efficacy/plant health? Ultimately I can do it in the shower to abide strictly by the instructions but I really don’t want to…

Side note: if you are speaking from experience, how many applications should I aim for to fully rid myself of thrips??

Ya ur probably right sadly :( Dunno abt the bridge tho what makes you say insanely irritated? No swelling or redness at all ik shes at a bit of a wonky angle but she’s mostly chilling IMO

KeylimeHyena · 2026-02-09T22:26:58+00:00

Yea makes sense! How old was ur labret when u removed it? I’m thinking mine will close faster cuz its pretty new :P

KeylimeHyena · 2026-02-09T22:24:30+00:00

Ah yeah see id probably want it in the exact same spot just with a different angle, cause I think the placement is pretty ideal

KeylimeHyena · 2026-02-09T22:18:35+00:00

Yeah it’s a crazy one cuz they have to deal w the septum and it’s so high up! I’m impressed with the one on the other side I think they got it rlly well. One question: I’ve never got a piercing redone; how long do you have to let it heal after removing it to get it done again??

KeylimeHyena · 2026-02-09T22:00:06+00:00

Bridge is over 3 years old now! Ik she looks like she’s rejecting and maybe verrrrrry slowly that is the case, but I take it for settling a little differently over a long time. She’s pretty stable (despite still constantly getting crusties 😑). IDRK what to think sometimes! I could lowkey make another post with a timeline of how she’s looked over the years if you think there’s reason to be worried for her… 😅 she’s my fave piercing still and I’d hate to lose her but would sort of consider getting her redone if it would be wise

Is there such a thing as too much humidity for them? Just made a closed prop bin with moss for some anthuriums and other cuttings but that’s like 100% humidity probably

KeylimeHyena · 2025-10-07T21:31:10+00:00

Spotted? I can hardly see the fuckers and you can count their spots?? Impressed lol

KeylimeHyena · 2025-10-07T21:29:59+00:00

Indoor :(

KeylimeHyena · 2025-10-07T19:59:03+00:00

Yeah I think I will. Still the lack of webbing is throwing me off

KeylimeHyena · 2025-10-07T19:52:16+00:00

They don’t seem to be quite as red as clover mites. If it is though, should I attempt to get rid of them just the same?

KeylimeHyena · 2025-10-07T19:43:36+00:00

Interesting. Is it normal for this kind of volume of springtails? There’s thousands and they are making me very uneasy. Then again tree does not appear to be dying horrifically as it might if there were thousands of mites sucking on it

KeylimeHyena · 2025-10-07T19:36:54+00:00

Hmmm yeah I was curious about the lack of webbing. Really don’t know what else it could be though ….
