This sounds like a cool idea and method for eliminating pests, including aphids. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried it before or even heard of it:I tried it and the CO2 killed the leaves but not the thrips

Basically you buy some dry ice and melt it in an enclosed area with the plant (like a terrarium or a plastic storage bin) and the resulting lack of oxygen kills most pests, though perhaps not mites. Sounds quite interesting and ingenious.
