Advice WantedThrips!!! In my rubber tree!!
Posted October 29, 2024 by SatanicPanic in Gardening

My variegated rubber tree I've had for nearly two years was saved from a grocery store and is dear to my heart, and I just realized it has thrips!! It's an office plant, so I've quarantined it with a huge clear, sealed, plastic bag for the moment. Ordered some Bonide Systemic Granules to put in the soil, as I've read that it's one of the few treatments that really works.

I feel terrible I didn't realize this sooner... The poor thing has been getting weird brown leaves for months and I thought it was the lighting. Do rubber tree leaves ever heal? I don't mind either way since I'm committed to this plant, but it would be nice.

Anyone else here had a thrip infestation in their variegated rubber tree?
