Chrysoperla carnea - against Aphids & Thrips: Plant-care use and practical limits

Chrysoperla carnea is a good biological option when a plant collection is dealing with more than one soft-bodied pest at once. Lacewing larvae are active hunters, which makes them useful in mixed infestations where you do not want to treat every leaf with another round of spray.

Chrysoperla carnea – Lacewing Larvae for Mixed Soft-Bodied Pest Pressure

This product makes the most sense when the infestation is broader than just one tidy label. Lacewing larvae actively search foliage and stems for prey, so they work well in mixed situations involving aphids, thrips larvae, whitefly stages, and young mealybug or scale stages.

Details

Active hunters: the larvae move through the plant as they move through foliage.
Useful across mixed infestations: especially where several soft-bodied pests overlap.
Simple distribution: the pouch contents are placed into the three included application boxes and positioned near the problem area.

Useful details

Apply promptly after arrival.
Place the application boxes close to the infestation, not in strong heat or direct sun.
Use more than one box on larger or denser plants.
Repeat if pest pressure remains high.

What makes it useful

Best temperature: roughly 20–30 °C, workable from about 15 °C.
Not a root-pest treatment: not the right option for fungus gnats or soil pests.
Check residues first: neem, soap sprays, and broad spray products can interfere with survival.

Setup and use

Use it early, while pest pressure is still manageable. Consistent placement and timing matters more than changing products frequently.

Combine with basic hygiene: remove heavily damaged leaves, isolate affected plants, and check neighbouring pots so you treat the full area.

Before you order

Follow the product instructions for placement and temperature range.
Avoid spraying oils or soaps on release days unless the supplier confirms compatibility.
Repeat checks weekly until new damage stops.

Die Pflanzen waren prima verpackt und ein heatpack war im Paket enthalten. Die Lieferzeit hat 2 bis 3 Tagen gedauert, was aus meiner Sicht wirklich gut ist. Alle drei Pflanzen haben die Lieferung gut überstanden. Ich habe mich auf Hoyas spezialisiert und habe schon die nächsten Pflanzen meiner Wunschliste auf der Website gefunden. Daher wird die nächste Bestellung nicht lange auf sich warten lassen.

The plants are carefully packaged and arrive in great conditions (I’m based in Spain) and they’re always there to help in any way they can with your purchase.I have and will always recommend Foliage Factory to every friend I can. I’m not only satisfied with their plants and prices, but their customer service is exceptional.

Very healthy and well packed plant. Unfortunately there was one plant that ordered couldn’t be delivered as it was out of stock hence 1 star less.

Die Sendung kam leider in keinem guten Zustand bei mir an, kann passieren. Habe mich darauf hin sofort an Foliage Factory gewandt und habe selten einen so guten, schnellen, freundlichen und kulanten Kundendienst erlebt.

Everything arrived in good condition and very well packed - it wasn't easy with a fragile plant and a heavy bag of substrate. I recommend it!

Bester online-Pflanzenhandel den ich kenne (habe davor 4 andere ausprobiert). Eine teure Pflanze wurde beim Transport beschädigt und mir ersetzt. Der Kontakt dabei war auch sehr nett (danke Jan) und hat mir gut geholfen. Die anderen Pflanzen sind in einem sehr guten Zustand, keine Schädlinge, super Bewurzelung. Nur zu empfehlen! :)

The plants have arrived in perfect condition, the roots and the foliage so so healthy! I had problem with 1 plant out of 16 and they have responded to my email almost instantly and the issue was resolved straight away. I'm really impressed and satisfied, definitely getting more plants from them again!

I received perfectly heathy and absolutely beautiful plants, even bigger than expected. The delivery within Europe was really fast. I think Foliage Factory has one of the best plant web shops in the internet. It‘s just great to get so much informations about the plants. I will definitely order again :)
