For the past month or so, I made an effort to check the top and underside of each leaf every day or so for any signs of Thrips, and any adult or larvae I found were removed. I thought I was doing a good job since I haven't seen any adult Thrips for several weeks but much to my dismay, this morning, I found an adult Thrip inside a new leaf that is uncurling! I tried to kill it but it went hiding inside the curled part of the new leaf! :(
I hope I won't find anymore adult Thrips in the other Anthurium plants. In fact, one of them has 4 new shoots and judging by the bright pink colour of the shoots, I am guessing that they are all "flower" shoots! If they are leaves, usually it would be a reddish brown with a tint of green. This is the same plant which had a few sick-looking new shoots that I had to remove. I hope the latest new shoots would survive till they open!
