My prized Monstera in Austin got a bad case of thrips and I almost lost it
I was away for a week and came back to find the leaves on my big Monstera, named Frank, covered in silvery streaks and tiny black bugs. I panicked and immediately isolated it, then spent the next three days wiping every single leaf with a mix of water and a little dish soap. It took about a month of consistent treatment, but Frank finally pushed out a healthy new leaf. Has anyone else in a hot, dry climate found a better long term fix for thrips?

Predatory mites work way better than neem oil here, @brianreed, since they hunt thrips without frying leaves.
