mamalinne Join the Community #Monstera #NewGrowth #FicusGang #HappyPlants #Pothos #GrowLights New Popular @MamaLinne · 11h Friends, I flew a little too close to the sun today. One of my wishlist plants, hoya obovata, showed up on marketplace 15 minutes from me. Full grown, mature plant- I’m guessing 3-4 years old, beautiful, $20! I immediately drove over and picked it up without inspection. Got it home and took a good look at it outside (thank goodness didn’t bring it in) - moderate mealy bug infestation. 🙈😫 Within seconds I had my phone-a-plant-friend @DreamMachine on the line and together she helped me decide that the rescue project was big and risky. Next best thing, took a few healthy-looking cuttings , power sprayed them, dunked them in neem/castille, and put them in my garage to sink or swim. I’ll spray them every 3 days for 3 weeks and see what happens! Amazingly, the seller wanted to refund the $20 but we settled on her keeping $5 for loss of the plant and the fact I have cuttings. Lesson learned: don’t let your heart-eyes override your inspection-eyes! And don’t bring anything into the house without taking a good look first. Thanks, Nadia, for talking me out of a tree! Here’s the original (RIP 🪦) and the cuttings (🤞🏼🙏🏼). If they make it, it will be a great backstory! Share your close calls and make me feel better! I feel like such a dummy! 💜 #TheWateringHole #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #mamalinne #plantgraveyard #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #PestControl #hoya #HoyaObovata 8 15 Comments @MamaLinne · 4d Another trip to phoenix in the books! My daughter loves plants and nature, too, so we visited the Desert Botanical Gardens again (this time at night), the Japanese Friendship Garden, and a couple of really fun plant stores! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #TheWateringHole #mamalinne #SucculentLove #CactusClique 12 9 Comments @MamaLinne · 2w Hey #TheWateringHole , let’s talk pruning ✂️ ! It’s an area of plant care I haven’t delved into, but need to, as some of my plants could benefit, both visually and physically, from a little haircut 💇🏻♀️! What are your pruning practices? Here are a few of my 🪴 babies that I stare at day after day and am too nervous to prune, any advice? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #mamalinne #Philodendron #DancingBones #watermelonpeperomia #raindroppeperomia #peperomia #rhipsalis #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy 8 59 Comments @MamaLinne · 2w Trying to shake off some of the negative juju that’s been floating around the app lately with a question: who’s your favorite child right now? 🪴I know, I know, we’re not supposed to have favorites. But if you share, I promise not to tell your other plants! 🤭🤫 Mine is this hoya crimson princess. I just love the colors and variegation!
