I bought flowers in a pot from Costco. The package is attached to the pot. There is no instruction how to use it.
As we are not sure if the Koppert Thripex-Plus (Neoseiulus cucumeris) we carry is the same as the ones attached to plants sold in stores. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly for the instructions on use. There is general information here but Koppert can be reached at 800-928-8827.
