Hello everyone, it’s n again needing help So my neighbor knows I love plant but she overwatered a lot and the brings them to me to fix lol it’s really kind of her.🙏🏽 My delima she brought a prayer plant. Tomato plant, Basil, ponytail palm and a cluster of flowered begonias. 💀They’re all on their last leg and I don’t know if that can be saved. I really appreciate her thinking of me! Such a God send to get so many rescues at once! But I’m kinda at a lost🤷🏽‍♀️ Oh my! and flies galore! Came with them! 😢 My marigolds came dead; so I got seeds and looking for live ones. This has been a rough yr for me but I’m thankful she thinks of me but she think I’m a miracle worker 🤣 What can I do to save one or two if at all possible . Pictures below!

Flat mites (false spidermite) info posts. Under my rant about my current flat mite outbreak @debbiedo suggested, I supply some pictures and description of symptoms to help others spot their own outbreaks sooner (or, like me, spot those signs and ignore them, hence the rant). So here you go. My picture gallery of doom. Also: Should you have questions regarding specific pictures, please keep in mind, I'm flying blind, since at this point, Greg doesn't even show me my own pictures anymore. And if any relevant existing hashtags come to mind (I seem to remember we have some sort of "plantinfo-themoreyouknow" kind of thing), please relay them to me to add to the bunch. #pestcontrol #orchidlovers #hoya #hoyahangout #flatmites

Hi, my lovely Greggers. Please send love and strength. Or, if that's not your thing, a bottle of a good single malt will do as well, I'm not picky. Mites. False spider mites. With big hoya collection, after having moved plants around everywhere. And maybe having spotted some signs of virused plants as well (please, please, no ) Need I say more? I could really kick myself for my hybris here. (So maybe forget the whisky, transatlantic kicks from all of you would maybe be more appropriate. I've noticed signs of the infestation for a long time now. But every time, I checked the plants I suspected, (seemingly) diligently. With my more practical magnifying app/glass. Nothing. additionally, I had high trust in my seller, had a comfortably established rest predatory mite population in some pots and am absolutely pedantic about quarantine (which, of course, is basically useless if you don't see/ acknowledge the problem when it presents during that time). Can any of you give a better example for false confidence? I even traded some plants recently, so I even checked those particular ones diligently (I thought). Now I noticed signs of weird dechlorinated leaves spreading, which before I had attributed to a nutrient deficiency. Virus? Nah. Where would that have come from on my absolutely treasured bella PES-03. I've had her for v long, I never share water, no signs of pests, so no plant sap exchange. ... ... Again, feel free to kick me. Anytime. Yesterday I saw signs of those spots on other plants where the deficiency theory makes no sense, got freaked out and finally took out my jewelers loupe. Because logic hasn't failed me completely. if spread of virus, then sap transfer. If sap transfer, then pests (in my case). And if undetected pests then a) pests tiiiiiiny and b) I'm truly fuuuuuu.... well, you know. Fundamentally angry with myself. Gosh, those things are tiny. Undetectable by best magnification my very solid glasses could offer. Even after I knew where to look because I could just make them out with the jewelers loupe. I think part of the reason for my false confidence was my experience with broad mites and some flat mites on a tomato plant a while back. With my glasses on both of those could be spotted with the magnifiers. The tiny bit the broad mites are bigger, made all the difference. And even the flat mite seemed to be a softly bigger species, so that the stark contrasting red dot could be spotted. This time? Nah. And to give me a great start fighting this problem: I planned to get up early to get myself a truckload of predatory mites before work, but I overslept after a sleepless night. Maybe I'll manage tomorrow. Or not. Things have been stressful as is. If you've followed this rant along this far, thanks. I needed to vent. Don't forget to send virtual kicks. I will deceptively attach a picture of a rose because a) hoyas make me sad rn, b) I don't think you would appreciate a huge flat mite picture in your feed c) that rose was gorgeous and d) who cares, I myself can't see it anyway. For me, Greg's been completely without pictures for a while now. Again. #pestcontrol #hoya #hoyahangout #mitesarestupid #sadplant #formitessake

Worked all day yesterday on my plants. I was not planning on doing a garden vegetable; I usually just help my mom do hers. But this year we have my brother and my sister plus their families back living in the area. So we needed to step up the veggies this year. I’ve NEVER grown broccoli, artichokes, or carrots from seeds, but what the Hades! I got the seeds; let’s see what we can do. Finding somewhere I can plant my tomatoes without affecting my berries. 🤔 So I settled on a kinda forgotten part of my backyard. It’s right between an old cinder block 🧱 shed and the greenhouse. I figured my vents open to the veggies this way so it makes them get a little more humidity as well as it stays warm back there year-round and blocks them from heavy winds. Hopefully, my dogs don’t get in them. 🤞🤞 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #TheThread #TheWateringHole #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID #OutdoorGrowing

Been working in the greenhouse most of my morning. Thought I’d share some photos. First ones are some of my monsteras. Please add your own photos of your monsteras, begonias, philodendrons, Hoyas, ferns, and anthuriums! I’d love to see them, and I’m sure so many others would too! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #Monstera #MonsteraMob #TheThread #TheWateringHole #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PLANTMAFIA #RarePlants #PlantID

My new shipments are Hoyas came today, and so did my little, little cute cyrtosperma johnstonii! I can’t wait to see these dinosaur 🦕 scale-like leaves! Yay!! 🥰 It’s been on my GROW THAT list! 😉 But here are the newest Hoyas! Sorry for the multiple rows of pictures. It’s 29, new cuttings and/or plants. #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads #TheThread #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID
