I recently bought two indoor plants (Alocasia & white bird of paradise) and I noticed they have bugs. Should I get rid of the plants?? Is there a spray that you’d recommend that works well with killing the bugs without killing the plants? Help please!

You can try systemic houseplant insect control, it’s by Bonide. You can buy it on Amazon, Lowes, etc. just follow the directions and it takes care of them without harming your plants. I always use this and clean the leaves with a mixture of water and 70% alcohol then spray them down with Neem oil. This will help deter any pests that are in the leaves as well so the new plants you bring in do not bring any visitors.

Is it a bad idea to keep my plants outside on my balcony for a few days while I try to get rid of all the insects using your method?

Can you send a pic ? I ca. help you fix them

Here’s one I noticed. But I also noticed spider webs on the plants. And there was a long black worm like insect crawling near the plant. I really need help because insects gross me out and I really don’t want to throw out my plants 😓
