I'm curious about how often everyone checks their plants for pests. Do you regularly inspect your plants, or do you wait until you notice something off? I've had a lot of success preventing pest issues so far, but I'm starting to wonder if I should be more proactive about it.

It's a good idea to check for pests regularly! I thought I was in the clear, but then I found thrips lurking around. I now inspect my plants frequently because catching pests early is key to saving your plants. You definitely don’t want to wait until it's too late!
I check my plants almost daily. I enjoy just sitting with my coffee and watching for any changes, new growth, or anything unusual that might signal pests. It's a nice routine for me!
I like to give my plants a good clean using diluted Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap. It's been a great preventative measure, and I haven't seen any pests since I started doing this! ?

Totally agree! I recently found out I might have had thrips for years without noticing, yikes!
