#PestControl After about 2 months of treatments I can say that I *might* be pest free! in October, I looked over at my favorite Hoya Australis Lisa and found thrips crawling on it. I’ve never seen thrips before so it took me a minute to realize what I was dealing with. I had no idea where it came from but must’ve been from one of the new plants I brought into the house over the summer or from an outdoor plant that had been brought in for the fall. I spent two weeks taking every single plant in my collection outside before the weather turned cold and frosty. Spraying everything down with the mist setting on the hose, letting everything dry, then spraying everything with a rubbing alcohol soapy, water solution. Then everything was treated with eather MiteX or We the Wild Protect Spray or both, because everything had to be treated more than once a week in order to beat the life cycle of the the thrips and their eggs hatching. I am still treating plants in the affected rooms about 1x per week as a precaution. I DID throw out quite a few plants during this time, most of which just wernt healthy enough to make worth my time to treat and carry in and out of the hose every week. So I guess this experience did help me to trim down my collection. 😅 another quarantine/treatment method I used was to take affected plants and bag them up in either large gallon Ziploc bags or large 13 gallon recycling bags which I was able to tie around my large Hoya and two large hanging baskets. Most of the plants treated in this method enjoyed the spa day, but I lost one small smaller Hoa that apparently had been locked in with too much water/humidity. 😢 #GregGang #Hoya #PothosPack #thestruggleisreal #WetheWild #thrips #PestsAndPlants #NEPAGregGang

After dealing with insane amounts of gnats due to my new plants… I can confidently say THEY ARE DONE WITH! It’s been about 4 weeks of intense treatments & caring. The first two weeks I watered my plants with a 1 to 4 ratio of hydrogen peroxide (3%) to water. And the last two weeks I watered my plants with mosquito bits. I kept sticky traps on all my plants to monitor the gnats & the new ones I replaced after the first two weeks have no gnats :) I also kept a blue light on at night and the one I used during the first two weeks was CAKED with gnats. And the one I replaced it with has like 5 on there. I also let my plants dry out completely between the last use of hydrogen peroxide and the first use of mosquito bits. Hope this helps anyone dealing with gnats :) #PestsAndPlants #gnatssuck #plantcare #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #TheThread #mosquitoBits

Good morning #GregGang - so I know this isn’t about plants but it kinda is - I had a BAD dream last night…(back story: I have a LOT of Monsteras and they are all my pride and joys)…so here’s what my dream was about: I walked out into my jungle room and all my plants were doing great EXCEPT my monsteras- every last one of them had pests - and not just a little bit - they were COVERED! I tried killing them by squashing them but they just kept coming! I’m not really into dream analysis but I looked it up when I woke up…here’s what I found: Dreams about pests on plants often symbolize feelings of anxiety, worry, or a sense of being overwhelmed in your waking life. These dreams can suggest that you're facing minor obstacles or annoyances that, if left unaddressed, could escalate into larger problems. Kinda crazy because at this moment in my life, I’m trying to purchase a home - by myself- on one income…lol! No wonder they were completely covered in pests! ☠️🤣 I’m so glad it was just a dream tho! Whew!!! Anyway, thanks for letting me yap! Y’all have a great day and don’t forget to check your babies for pests! 😆🫶🏼 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #MonsteraMonday #MonsteraMob #PestControl #PestsAndPlants #pestID #PlantCorner #GregPlantShop #greggivesback #GregFeedback #Greggers #GreggersSupportingGreggers #GregFam

My lipstick plant isn’t looking good. Plant AI says it’s thriving but it seems different from a few days ago. Does anyone know what this is? #NewPlantMom #PestsAndPlants #Diseases #DiagnosisHelp
