Good morning Wednesday #TheWateringHole ๐Ÿซถ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒค๏ธ How is everyone doing in their neck of the woods? I, like quite a number of #greggers , have some pests in my indoor collection. Broad mites. (Booo hiss!!) They are minuscule, to a lot of people they are microscopic, 1/4 of a millimeter ๐Ÿค small , but I can see them. They look like little dust specks moving around without magnification. They are notoriously hard to contain because of their size. Not only can they come in on a plant, they are so small they can float on a breeze through a window screen. ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ How did I find them? I had a few very strange new leaves on two hoyas. They curled in on themselves, lost their shiny luster, appeared grey, and fell off (with my tweezer into a baggie) at a mere touch. I shall post those leaves. You can treat with neem, although it is a lot of labor involved, so this time and with the knowledgeable advice of @MusicalRedmint Susann, I am going PREDATORY MITES. This website DMV Beneficials is amazing. https:// They are a US-based service that offers free consultations to figure out what youโ€™re dealing with and what would be the best predatory bug to help. If you have a pest situation and are feeling a little overwhelmed, reach out to them, they help people all over the states get connected with suppliers of good bugs. They also keep your budget in mind. And it seems like prices are not as bad as they used to be! I may be able to contain my pest issue for less than $50 ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ. And if you are in another country, I highly encourage you to look around for beneficial suppliers near you ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿž And if youโ€™re in Oregon or Washington, here is the supplier I will most likely be going with. You can check out their prices, only about $1 per sachet! https:// The mites Iโ€™m selecting are also microscopic, so you donโ€™t have to see them in your house if that freaks you out. (I shall be bringing out my microscope though, and watching with interest on the sidelines because I am a grade A Weirdo. ) ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ“ฃ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘ Well, howโ€™s everyone else doing today? ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‚ โฑ๏ธWant to be notified of these posts when they come out?

Good morning planty people of #TheWateringHole โœจ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿซถ It is Monday, and Iโ€™m busy hurrying around watering everyone outside, as itโ€™s lovely and 60ยฐ right now, but weโ€™re supposed to get up to 85ยฐ, and if you know me, that is hot, hot, HOT ๐Ÿฅต I am hoping to get back into the swing of regular posting, but I just had a very couple busy weeks, with picking up a regular shift at work, a trip to the coast ๐ŸŒŠ , and weโ€™re getting into the last couple weeks of school for my kiddo. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽโฐ But BIG NEWS!! We are on #pedunclewatch !!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿคฉ Since I got into hoyas last summer, Iโ€™ve only had the start and subsequent blasting of a couple peduncles on one hoya, my crassipetiolata, but it was just the beginning of winter, and he got too cold and gave up on them. ๐Ÿฅถ๐Ÿ˜” Whoโ€™s the contender this time? My sweet Hoya โ€˜Bella,โ€™ whom I got only last month, as a cutting in perlite, from my hoya lady on FB marketplace!! Bella is STILL in that cup of perlite, I didnโ€™t get a chance to pot her up yet, and she has 3, count emโ€™ THREE pedunkadunks starting ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฉ As my photos will be peduncles, Iโ€™ll add my bountiful morningโ€™s strawberry ๐Ÿ“ harvest photo in the comments, along with my Motherโ€™s Day snapdragon bloom, and my dahlias (not in bloom yet). Howโ€™s everyoneโ€™s Monday? Any blooms or new growth that youโ€™re excited about? Any struggling? This is my Saturday, but if itโ€™s your actual Monday, I wish you a very good and planty week ๐Ÿ˜˜๐ŸŒฟโœจ โฑ๏ธWant to be notified of these posts when they come out?
