@AwesomePlants I love it!! So fun to spoil yourself every once in a while.
All these Haworthias and #Echeveria are from a.d.lovett on #PalmStreet

Fresh imports, many don't have roots, but great, lower prices to root on your own.
@Sonja
Those are gorgeous! 🀩
@Idplantthat thanks boo. I just realized I bought a duplicate.πŸ€¦πŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ«£πŸ€£
@AwesomePlants haha ha that’s just how you know you are in love. πŸ₯° You gotta have more than one. 🀣
@AwesomePlants oh my you’ve snagged some beauties!! I think I’m a little jealous πŸ˜‚.

I had to take a step back because I found a mealy bug and spider mites on 2 of my plants so I’m in a fight for my life now 😬. I’ve got 200 plants so I’m working on killing these pesky buggers and then prevention.

I can’t figure out where they came from but they sure as heck ain’t staying here.

But as soon as I get this under control the Dougie Fresh is back on 😁!
@AwesomePlants you are too sweet! Thanks for the best answer vote!
@Sonja yikes! Are you keeping new plants quarantined for a while before putting them with old plants?

I keep my plants in quarantine for months spraying often with Natria. I wash new plants (not succulents or cacti of course) with peppermint Castile soap as well.

I use wintergreen alcohol to spray any mealies and wipe off before spraying pest spray.

The spider mites, some plants are prone to them like alocasias and calatheas and I refuse to have any.
@AwesomePlants have you ever shopped this place for Hoyas? https://thehoyatrove.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqb757lGjOp2od_jAuuN7TzdroZBP7EeqpJt8cTyfu_Kj98e7Gu
@AwesomePlants apparently I didn’t quarantine something long enough. The mealy bugs I killed off with alcohol and cotton balls and sprayed with sexy plant juice. I washed the plant and repotted…cuz…well ain’t no way I’m keeping that dirt.

And way to go calling me out about my Calatheas and Alocassias! The Calathea, of which I’ve had about 6 months is the spider mite monster!

If I knew what I know now, a Calathea would never step foot in my house. As a matter of fact, over the weekend I trash binned 2 Calatheas cuz I’ve just had it with them.

The white fusion Calathea is the one giving me the blues. She’s gorgeous but if she don’t get her πŸ’© together she will be in the bin too.

Right now I’m talking with DMV beneficials and just waiting for them to answer a few questions.

So that’s why I was saying I’m on the sidelines just watching you get all those beautiful Haworthias 😒. This is so hard to do πŸ˜‚
@Sonja you live and learn and I learned alocasias and calatheas are NOT my ministry. Even some philos I loved were problem children.

If you have plants, you'll have pests at some point. Being proactive keeps it manageable. Sorry you're dealing with this.

This is my last haul for a while. I'm focusing on decreasing my non- haworthias because they just don't bring me joy anymore, but I'll be chopping and propping hoyas to recoup my HawTfunds lol
@Idplantthat I haven't. Honestly, I understand for sellers it's business, but I'm done overpaying for hoya cuttings or lightly rooted cuttings when you can get an established plant for the same price.
@AwesomePlants ohh! That’s a very good point. Would you mind reminding me where you said you buy yours? I remember one seller you said isn’t going to be selling until spring? I can’t remember what ones you said. I thought I’d remember, but… πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚
@Idplantthat I reached out to her and unfortunately she sold all her hoya which is a bummer because she had the most reasonable hoya cuttngs ever and they were generous for only $6-10.

Here are a few:

Hoping they start selling again: #EtsyRootsByLu
https://www.etsy.com/shop/rootsByLu
#GardinoNursery , buy from the website. She sometimes has discount codes on the website.
@AwesomePlants thank you so much πŸ™ I really appreciate your advice on these 🩡🐝🌻🫢🏻
@AwesomePlants hi! Might be a silly question but are you part of the Greg admin? I have been trying to email a couple times for help with a question I had but haven’t been getting any response.
@Artistic_Stoner no I'm not employed by Greg, but you can email greg support and they should respond shortly. concierge@greg.app
@Idplantthat also, since Haworthias have my heart now, I'm working on chopping and propping most of my hoya collection to sell. Hope to have a good stash by end of summer to sell.
@AwesomePlants sadly I have 3 times now since today.. I’ll try one more time in a couple days, thank you!
Actually it’s a shot in the dark, but do you know if you’re sent a code or email for the $50 credit being a winner for best answer? That’s all I need to know, was trying to use the credit but have no idea how to use it!
@Artistic_Stoner they'll send you an email for it if I remember correctly.
@AwesomePlants ooh! Let me know; I’m definitely interested πŸ₯°
