@jjcelery@mastodon.ie Well, this was my first year growing them on the balcony. I put beneficial mites on them to eat the thrip larvae. Then, when I brought them inside, a bunch of gnats hatched. But I didn't buy more beneficial mites. Instead, I sprinkled some anti-gnat pesticide. That must have killed the good mites. So, then the bad mites took over. I will never do that again. I will buy the beneficial mites that eat strawberry mites and two spotted mites. I didn't check under the microscope which one it was because I was exhausted at that point.
