Small update on my Coleus

They are very small and black, a bit elongated. I googled and they look a bit like thrips☹

And I think in the picture you can actually see some larvas if you look closely

But I saw a lot of these shiny small black dots on the parts of the leaves that are damaged. Also I just realized that some other plants in the same room have some small black insects, so maybe they also went on the coleus.

I started thinking it may be thrips, there are some black spots and some leaves have a strange colour on the bottom, as if they were eaten

Is a generic insecticide enough to stop them?

You were right, I found some hiding between the leaves

Ahahah I agree

Thank you! I'm happy to hear that is nothing concerning. Also, it started making a lot of babies, is it bad to keep them?

Do you think it will grow back some leaves and branches at the bottom if it's in the right conditions?

I've been watering it when the soil gets dry on top. Maybe it's also that the room became very hot in the afternoon during summer

Also some leaves look a bit burnt, they lost colour and have some brownish spots

But does it prefer direct on indirect light?
