THRIPS! South Florida Alert!

Now that the temperature is getting warmer and the air is still relatively dry, thrips will be everywhere.

If you have Vandaceous plants, you will need to spray for thrips.  Whatever your choice of spray, PROTECT yourself.

I have been told that thrips can damage other orchids also.  However, I have never noticed this to be a problem with my other orchids.  However, I do get bud blast on dendrobiums occassionally.  But there is so many possible causes of this that I am not sure if the thrips are to blame.  Maybe with all of my Vandas, the thrips are just not interested in the other orchids.  However, I do spray them all.
