i was wondering what those little bugs were, my pedro and bridgesii are infested with the things, they dont seem to do too much harm, but i still dont like em.

I had the same problem, I tried diatomaceous earth with little sucess, but on my last mushroom hunting trip I stumbled onto about a million lady bugs all in the same spot and grabbed a few, ...no more thrips:grin:

I've had them forever... they only seem to really harm new grafts. trouble is that i just started 2 huge trays of pereskiopsis tips and have a few hundred seedling lophs (in a bag protected from fungus gnats)
the grafts shown are pups cut from other grafts (which may have been pups cut from other grafts themselves) and are subsequently stronger.

my seedlings arent going to take it. i did a test graft and found it ravaged today

also i noticed that manual removal seems to make a difference,
if you purse your lips and blow into the meristem, you blow away thrips and it takes days for them to re-infest to the same degree. pain in the ass, but it gives the plants a chance to establish.

also I'm becoming disillusioned with pereskiopsis.
seems it loses all its benefit along with its leaves.

pedro seems to grow about as fast, but doesn't take permanent damage from things like over watering, under watering, or soil issues.

you let your pereskiopsis get fungussy, and they leaves fall off, never to regrow, once they are gone, you might as well put the loph on its own roots.

also, stock pereskiopsis grow out of control when you're not using them. I threw out 2 garbage bags of finger-spining leafy green pain sticks last night

Hey, get yourself some of those yellow sticky cards.
Put some next to your plants and the thrips will fly to them when they go airborne. You could keep a fan going so that they have to keep moving. You won't catch them all, but it'll help.

i was pretty sure these are thrips and they don't look like what you got, nore did i think thrips could fly

im so confused now lol

ill tell you what works, SAFER SOAP, omg that stuff is a life saver, the ONLY thing i got to kill spider mites (most of the way)

i tried soapy water, preditor mites, lady bugs (yah i know they don't work) lol, neem oil (just killed my plants not the bugs).

safer soap killed spider mites within minutes!! im sure it would work just as good with w/e you have. They key is to spray every 3 days to get the ones that hatch before they breed again. it did cause some slight burning to my plants but they are recovering just fine
