- Unfortunately plants and bugs go hand in hand and can be extremely frustrating. I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or not, but I think I may have found a small white thrip on my philodendron Brasil. Let me know what type of pests you are currently dealing with. Thanks for watching.

This was filmed last weekend as I found it....so no planning of any kind went into this video 😂. A couple days after filming I did add some systemic insecticide in there hoping to kill off any possible thrips.....if thats what it was. Stay tuned for updates!
What kind of systemic do you use? I'm also in Canada but can't find anything anywhere -- another vlog here on TH-cam from a girl in Germany is frustrating because she uses these little fertilizer/pesticide sticks in the soil and they apparently work AMAZING; but I can't find them here, of course. (*LOL*)
I’d also like to know what systemic insecticide you used as I too live in Canada and would love to get some!
Hey there! This is the first video of yours that I have ever watched and besides the rock solid help and information, I truly enjoy how laid back and real you are during your video. I loved that you even included trying to take care of the drywall! You made mention of your homalomena selby. Would be great if you did a video on that. Just got mine today and it is a beauty! There is nothing that I did not like about your video. I am now a subscriber. Keep it up!
Hey Vicki! Thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel. I will definitely make a video on the selby. Some advice right now, if you don't already know, don't let it ever get completely dry and they NEED higher humidity.
I never had heard of Thrips till my SOPs were sticky. Lost several plants. Now I use a product with Spinocide to get rid of them. I wanted to cry watching you remove Brasil from the wall. It is never ending.
Hey Terri. I ended up sprinkling some systemic insecticide on it and it is still in quarantine in my bathroom. I have not seen any other possible thrips or damage. They are the worst lol
@@EverythingPlants what systemic do you use?! I didn't think we could get them here in Canada 😅
@@EverythingPlants That's what I do... I either use the Bonide systemic or Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew.
Im a new subscriber and loving your videos, and I’m in BC too!!! I had no idea plants attached to walls naturally like that. So cool.
Hey Katherine! Thanks for the comment and for joining the channel! Hello from Saskatchewan!
*me running around my house inspecting all my plants* 😢 I hope you don’t lose any plants!
NOBODY PANIC!!! LOL
It's always so annoying to see some insects on plants, especially thrips. In my case, soap water and neem oil didn't really help. I used Careo sticks, which is a fertilizer and a pesticide at the same time. But I also check all plants every day and remove the insects from leaves. As adult insects multiply and lay eggs without a partner, I tried to at least minimize their quantity till the pesticide will start working. Hope your plants will be fine.☘️
It's always so beautiful when plants naturally attach to the wall; I was screaming inside.
But it's for the greater good. Good luck with it, I hope it's not thrips. If you trim that vine and set it against the wall again, the new branch(es) may start climbing again. The brazil grows fast so you'll have it looking like before in no time. This worked with my plain heart-leaf philodendron. Best wishes.
Thanks Ucheha....I hope I don't find anymore pests on it, but that is what happens when you keep so many plants indoors lol Once the plant is pest free, I will be placing back in that spot and perhaps, like you said, trim it to grow up the wall again.
I don’t have pest issues, but I use Bonide systemic. I don’t think pests have a chance to start.
That’s such a bummer about your Brasíl. It was growing so great up that wall.
Thanks Jeff!
I'm not too upset....it will grow again lol
I'm thinking about getting a spider farmer light 300 for Christmas,,bc I jus really wanna get my plants thriving a lil better,,plus I'm going to put it over my makeup table...So a 2 in one and that way I can style my makeup table with plants..Love the information you be giving us. Thanks
Thanks and I think that would look pretty nice!
One will never get rid of the pests , some have this imaginary idea that their plant collection can be “pest free”. That’s virtually impossible . I just manage the pests and Stay almost pest free! . Great videos ! Thanks !
I 100% agree....if you own houseplants you will always have pests. The key is to find them early and minimize it as much as possible. Thrips are the absolute worst if you have never dealt with them before lol
My black pagoda lipstick plant is an extremely thirsty girl too! Her leaves always seem to be a bit floppy and I probably water her every 3 or 4 days! ( she's blooming right now so It's easily every 2 or 3) The first couple months I had it I thought maybe there was an issue with the roots, but it's been a year now and she's still going like that, so..🤷💚
I have one as well (still looks a bit rough in places) but mine is the same way....always needs water and flowering too!
The pump sprayer might be easier for your hands. Also Dr bronners Castile soap diluted with clove oil, you can probly purchase online or at health food stores. It's organic. TFS.
UGH. Feel your pain. I just found thrips again on my Brasil. Never ending!
Philodendron are thrip magnets 🧲 😭
What do they look like 🤔
@@zap4980 sometimes white or black....narrow small insect that resembles a grain of rice 😢
I've never knowingly had thrips, but from what I hear about them, they sound like the worst. I've actually been bitten by them--outdoors--and I guess I was really lucky none of the biters came in with me. When I asked a knowledgeable person I knew why they bit me, she replied "They aren't that bright, probably testing to see if you were a plant!" Sorry about your drywall--I took a dead Virginia creeper vine off a customer's house a few years ago and left similar bits clinging to the stucco--they were super stubborn to get off! Curious to know where you were able to find a systemic. Hope it does the trick for you!
The sacrifice of a wall is but little when it comes to our babies - at least that’s what I tell my hubby! 😁 btw, I use the same soap for my Hoya compacta regarding mealy bugs - works great!
Hey Julia...I used to get mildly upset about the walls...until you have kids hahaha then it just like "meh, it happens"
I have a few marks like that on one of my brasils but there isn't a thrip on it. I think I let it get too dry a couple of times for too long. Did you ever find out if it was thrips?
I’m in Ontario and dealing with thrips as well. Sadly on my three upright philodendrons 😢 lol I’m going to grab some of that same insecticidal soap that you’ve got and hope for the best!
I don't know what it is with thrips and philodendrons
amzn.to/3dJGQKW
Check out my Amazon canada storefront
I'm from Ontario too and I got this stuff called "Doktor Doom" for indoor plants from a nursery near my home. From what I can see, I think it does a good job too
I have thrips and still fighting with insecticide soap and neem oil as well, their adults can fly and their eggs can be embedded in leave tissues. After a few applications are in control now but still see small damage to new leaves. Very annoying bugss!! I am quite confident to say that if you find them on one plant the rest of the other plants will likely have them too 😂
Oh ya...I have had these buggers a couple times now. Thanks for watching Suet!
I hate that you have to take that vine off the wall...I would be pissed taking it off whether there are thrips or not! I'm thinking of making a big cork board panel to grow some of my vining and shingling plants on, so if I ever need to remove them, I won't have to patch and paint my wall lol
Ya, I clearly did think this one through....it just started to grow and I left it alone 😂
@@EverythingPlants honestly, I would have too lol it always looks cool growing up the wall. My grandmother had a green heartleaf that grew all the way around her livingroom walls, between the top of the window and door trim and ceiling.
I used a systemic plant granular but with pets not a good idea for you. I had thrips on my burle max philodendron and Alocasia pink dragon. Got rid of them quick and the plants are protected for 8 weeks.
This is exactly what I did after a couple days...I have the bonide systemic, but it is not actually available in Canada. Someone from a local plant group brought some back and sold a couple bottles.
OHHHH...NO...I'm so very sorry I know how you are feeling as also I'm fighting trips on my Brazil , syngonion, and a Cebu Blue. I just can explain it other than they came in on the two Cebu-Blue I bought from Steve Leaves. As a preventive I always spry my plants when I get then right on the parking lot with Insecticidal Soup by Bonide, then they go on my laundry room for two weeks, at the end of the two week they get a drink and spray with Captain Jack dead bug. I followed my routine and here I'm fighting and watching these plants like a crazy lady...I don't see much improvement yet, three weeks. I also gave them fresh soil with systematic preventive.
Hope you have a better outcome, you plant is beautiful. I'm in Georgia-USA.
We don't have it here in Canada, but I would 100% use bonide systemic granules. KILLS EVERYTHING
@@EverythingPlants Now we have it in liquid form it is very easy to apply I did apply it to all my plants that is why I don't understand the infestion of thrips I have. How is your Brasil after she had the drink? Thank you for answering.
@@ceciliacampos3194 It has perked up for sure but there is a few more yellowing leaves. I am keeping an eye on it and hope it don't find any thrips
Is that lipstick plant a Hoya? Beautiful
Hope it works out OK!! Side question, love your grow lights, do you recomend a specific kind?
I'm pretty new to grow lights myself and so far my plants downstairs love them. I use two different kinds....
Here is the grow bulb
www.homedepot.ca/product/feit-electric-60-watt-equivalent-a19-medium-e26-base-indoor-greenhouse-full-spectrum-led-plant-grow-light-bulb/1001102345
And here are the gooseneck lights from Amazon
www.amazon.ca/dp/B0885ZB4MJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_PN1GW4GHPWK57DMB0F1G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I bought those same lights from Amazon as well as several other kinds and they've all been really good. I haven't had any problems with any of them and my plants seem to be doing really well.
What do you mean "Don't Panic?" Finding thrips is exactly the time to panic.
🤣 Although I'm concerned, I try not to stress too much about it. Treat and repeat lol
I hope it’s not thrips and that you saw a one off bug! I’ve not had thrips yet but I hear spidermites are a cake walk compared to those annihilators.
I will take spider mites all day over these pesky things hahaha
That’s a bummer taking the plant down like that. Hope it is nothing too serious. I would like to use systemic insecticide on my plants but
last time I tried I could not get systemic insecticide delivered in Canada. How did you get yours? If you do not mind me asking.
Thank you for the video
Someone from a local plant FB group bought some from the states and was selling the extra bottles. I wish would could buy this here.
Do you notice thrips in winter where you live? I heard they are dormant through winter and then lay eggs in spring and summer. So quarantine isn't really effective if you buy a plant in winter?
I found thrips on my philo brazil a few weeks ago..it was quite bad too. My micans was affected but luckily only 2 plants that I can tell..the only 2 philos in my house. I saw 2 cebus at lowes today..both infested!!! absolutely infested! I change my clothes before coming in the door..they were different than the type I am dealing with..ugh. I didnt want to take a chance.
Hey Mike. I had some in the spring....before they become the summer problem, so I think you are right. I hit mine with beneficial bugs and systemic I secticide.
What worked for me was bio advanced insect disease and mite. I do wear a mask and use in a room I can close it up in for a few days. So far so good. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Thanks for sharing!
Can you use sticky pads to catch some too as well as spray it?
Yes you can. I actually sprinkled some systemic insecticide in the soil. I haven't found any more...
Can you please send me the link to the beneficial bugs so I can order them for me. Thanks 🙏
I use a soft fluffy make-up brush to get into all the nooks and crannies when I’m washing my plants. It makes me think I’m being more thorough. I HATE Thrips 🤬
Oh...they are the worst.
What is the systemic granules available in Canada? Thanks!…neem oil doesn’t work for me. Thrips spread real fast😩
Bonide systemic granules. You can only buy them in the US right now. There is a FB group where someone sells them
@@EverythingPlants thank you!
I was just randomly looking at a couple of my plants and realized that there were thrips on them. I didn't realize at first because I've never had them and now I'm panicking. They're mostly on my favorite micans and I found a couple on a syngonium. I just ordered some spray from Amazon but it won't be here until tomorrow, should I be doing anything in the meantime? I moved them away from the other plants already.
I would try and blast them off with water...even squish them if you see only a couple. Definitely isolate them from your other plants. I just made a video today (released in a few days) about using predatory mites to get rid of thrips. Try not to panic, but it extremely frustrating...
What spray did you end up buying? In Canada there is safers end all and even Doktor Doom indoor pest spray that I have used in the past. If you are in the USA then bonide systemic is a great option to kill them all.
@@EverythingPlants I tried to get what you showed in your video, but I'm in the US so I think the products are a little different so I went with captain Jack's. I squished the ones I found, I think I found maybe five in total I've been checking the leaves with my macro lens thing on my phone so that's really been helpful in seeing them.
@@EverythingPlants I think my biggest concern is that all the plants around that plant will also have them, I've been checking them, but haven't found any except two on the syngonium.
@@funnylittlecactus4672 That is a good sign. I have learned that thrips can show up randomly months after you see the last one. I guess regular thorough checks is required to catch any infestations early. Good luck
Flushed my plants in the bathroom, when dry i used vaccuumcleaner in low stand to suck the last critters of the leafs. Then Spray with Neem oil/ bakingsoda mixture, this did the ' no pesticide' trick for my cannabisladies.
I have never heard of anyone using a vacuum cleaner for bugs....now that I think of it I have used it to stuck fungus gnats out of the air hahaha
@@EverythingPlants hahaha me neither but it workz perfectly! 😂
Spinosad does wonders.
But, in all fairness, thrips are extremely hard to get rid of without desinfecting the entire grow space, which can be an annoyance.. they keep coming back otherwise...
That is why I bought predatory mites and placed them on all my plants!
@@EverythingPlants Do you like the result? Is it working?
I recently watched a video about the benefit of these predatory insects and The lady said that these predators work best in high humidity environment and enclosed space like a cabinet or grow tent.
Beauty of a Brasil! I hope it’s not thrips.
I know....I love this plant....
Vines will grow into and do a lot of damage to walls. I suggest that if you like the look, that you fasten a sheet of plywood or woodboard to the wall, that can easily be replaced.
Out of curiosity, if you feel thrips are on that plant, why wouldn't they move to all of the other plants that are touching it, or below it? I know you looked at them, but why not treat them?
They probably are on those other plants as well. I just received (and made a video coming soon) about predatory mites that I treated all my plants with. I will let those dudes search out the harmful bugs. I am not too worried about it because I feel if it was a thrip then I caught them in the early stages.
I hope it’s not thrips. Looking forward to updates.
I hope so too!
Hi there!
Wow, beautiful plants and a clear and concise way of explaining useful things. Kudos to you!
Maybe someone can help me: On my Pothos Gold I noticed dark (dry) spots on some of the leaves and I think I saw small black insects. I assume that they are thrips. I immediately sprayed a locally available product (apparently rapeseed oil-based, i.e., a botanical oil). I sprayed the pothos apparently infested with thrips and neighboring plants (Monstera and Scindapsus).
Will this be enough-or will you recommend that I purchase something (unfortunately) more aggressive.
I examined the plants thoroughly and found no other suspicious signs.... I assume then that if it was thrips, the "attack" was very limited.
Thank you everybody! C.
Hey Claudio. I used bonode systematic granules for thrips. It is a pesticide that you mix into the soil and when you water it the roots take up the systemic and when a sap sucking bug, like a thrip, ingests it....it will die
@@EverythingPlants Hi there! Thank you so much for your very quick response! Unfortunately bonode products are not marketed where I live, but I just ordered a similar product (Celaflor Careo) which is from what I read based on Acetamiprid. We will see. I will definitely post the result here on this comment :-) Greetings from Switzerland. c.
Hate thrips 😡 I had to use Provanto ultimate bug killer and treated every plant to be on the safe side. Since then on a monthly basis when I flush my plants I use SB Invigorator followed with my neem oil, Dr Bronners peppermint soap, peppermint essential oil spray as a pamper for them all. Fortunately I only have around 80 plants but it still takes me a weekend for their spa treatment. I hope everything goes okay and so sorry about the damage to your wall ☹️
Did Provanto help you to get rid of thrips? I just had to use it too because also I found thrips on my plants. 😪 I have to use it again after one week, because I read that you have to use it two times to get rid of thrip's eggs too.
@@CatherineDoII it does if you catch it early enough and that the thrips have not built up an immunity to the nasty chemicals in it. Remove any leaves that look suspicious too. Badly infested plants are probably best to throw out/take healthy cuttings and propagate. Many people use beneficial insects but I’ve not had to go down that route……. Yet! Good luck 🤞
@@LindaEnfield Thanks. I have done all that, and sometimes I also take all my plants to shower and wash their leaves with water. Sometimes I add seaweed lotion (probably wrote it wrong) on the leaves. And this is the second time that I have thrips. :'( but I'll do everything in my power to get rid of them for good.
@@CatherineDoII Good luck! I hope they go away soon. Seaweed lotion…. I’ve not come across that before sounds interesting.
As far as I know thrips can't jump but podura can. Poduras are light in color and can move onto the plant if the soil is dry. They usually live in moist soil and eat organic matter, absolutely harmless.
GRRRRR! Try Mr. clean magic eraser on the marks. Put a clear Command hook up on the wall and hang it right back up. Sorry for the white hopping bug. 😔
I will definitely try this....thanks!!!
I would have left that vine on the wall and cut it way down at the plant. Then put spagnum moss in a root ball and then repot when roots big enough
Doctor doom is good for thrips, can get it at big box stores
Ya I have some. I also bought systemic....good bye thrips lol
I hope your plant will be ok
I hope so too🤷
What mites do you use from Amazon?
I bought grub grenade predatory soil mites. Here is the link!

You surely have thrips, I have them on my Brasil and cant get rid of them. did not know but they came home with the 4-5 Brasil purchased.
treat every 2 days for 2 weeks , then 5 days , for at least 3-4 months. Check your other plants that were next to the brasil as they have moved to my other plants as well. I think I will get rid of Brasil as
If you are in the states then get bonide systemic for houseplants. That is the best thing to kill indoor bugs.
The Mealy Monsters Are My Pest From Hell Thanks To My Hard-Headed Hoyas!!! The Elephant Ear Fam Gave Them A LOT Of Competition With The Spider Mite Crew That Came With Them. The Spider Mites Are The Definite Losers Now That I'm NOT Growing Any Elephant Ears. I LOVE The Brasils... They're Such Cheery Looking Fellas!!! I DO Plan On Replacing The Ones I Lost... In The Meantime... I Found A Good-Sized Cutting On The Floor Of Lowes And He's Looking Mighty Cheery In A Cheery Red Pot!!!
Put the plant back and tape it up so it can grow up and cover those marks☺️
Haha. I may have to do this 🤣
I have a question for you if I may:
I found a few thrips on my Philodendron Brasil in my frog vivarium. The thrips seem to prefer the Brasil over the Golden Pothos, by the way, as the Golden Pothos didn't have a single bug on it. I was wondering what you would suggest on how to get rid of them, seeing that I cannot use any pesticides, soaps or oil in a vivarium with frogs (White's tree frogs). The setup is bioactive (6-7 months old and established), with coco fiber as substrate, and large colonies of springtails and white tropical isopods as cleanup crew.
How in the world can I get rid of the thrips? Do I need to do a full breakdown of the vivarium and sterilize everything? Or would it be enough to remove all plants and leave it bare with only the soil in there until the thrips hopefully die of starvation (due to no living plants)? Do you have any thoughts or advice regarding this? I have searched the internet, youtube and reddit for answers but noone seems to have an actual answer.
Until now I have uprooted and disposed of all the plants that I saw had thrips on them. The remaining plants might be attacked now that I have removed the thrips' homes, but I had no other choice. I have bought new plants but I do not dare plant them in the vivarium before I know what to do with this issue. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!
Hello! I had to search for this specific predatory bug (because I forgot the name lol) and I think this is probably the only way to keep everything else safe ie the frogs. They are called pirate bugs and search out THRIPS until they are gone. I have never used this specific bug, but I have seen it on TH-cam videos and they look very effective against thrips. Here is an article which explains them in a bit more detail. I hope this helps you and keep me posted!

@@EverythingPlants 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have a philodendron that was so beautiful and full it’s the one that looks like neon pothos ….bright lime green and a gift from my brother. I propagated and had a beautiful full baby backup….and I thought to myself I got this 😀 Then this summer the prop just withered away and is now invisible and the mother plant has been declining rapidly. I’m about to chop it up and 🤞the leaves yellowed and it’s almost like the base of the root is falling out of the pot. I kept looking for bugs and I just don’t see anything. Did I overwater? Underwater? IDK I have never seen a thrip or maybe I just don’t know that I did …. Do they hop, fly, crawl??? We burn wood so we get lots of bugs traveling on the wood. I’ve been seeing something flying around and I thought it was a mosquito 🤔 we live in S New England in a wooded area and my bugs don’t seem to mind the cold. I see moths on the outside of my windows all he time. I hope you don’t have thrips again…I hope I don’t either. Maybe a trellis going up the wall would work….Good luck and keep us posted! Thanks
sounds like a fungus gnat, they can invade the soil and eat the roots from what i've seen, have a look at the soil and see, i had them bad this summer and i had to repot all my plants, hoping they don't come back next year
Oh, no! I hope you can get rid of them soon!!! So frustrating 😕
I hope so too. I haven't found anymore, but im sure they are there
I wish you could do whole thing I have time
So longer videos?!?!?!
Yes. And the whole process. Lol. I learn a lot from you
video with me and thrips:)
Thanks for watching Anna.
@@EverythingPlants you're welcome:)
Saturday night
This was last weekend....haha
Plants attached to walls will destroy the walls unless your walls are cement blocks 🤶🏽
Found this out on Saturday 🤣
🧐
Your critic has arrived
Thumbs up or down?
Thumbs up frond
Thrips I have learned leave eggs in the soil and they’re life cycle is 45 days. Neem oil , insecticidal soap with water didn’t work for me. I have heard really good things about a product called Provanto. I also used Captain Jacks. Let me know any updates.
I think the only thing to guarantee their death is systemic granules
I bought some, and hopefully it works!
