Hello friends! If you’re looking for your sign to hack your plant to pieces, here it is! My cactus 🌵 got really etoliated 🦒 this last year. I finally chopped it up 🔪and stuck it outside 🌞- it has some really great new growth coming in! (Pro: buy cactus gloves 🧤😬) Do you have a before and after chop that you’re proud of? Or have a plant that you think you want to chop but you’re nervous to do it?

Congrats!! 🎉 @MamaLinne look at all that new growth 🙌 I do not have a chop to show, but I do have some good “afters” for plants that have recovered from a broadmite infestation thanks to my beneficial cucumeris mites.
Now…I just tried to find the befores, but failed 😅 So just IMAGINE, if you will, these plants looking horrible before 🤣 I am most proud of my Goeppertia fasciata (formerly known as calathea). He was down to 4-5 leaves and looking really sickly. Well, I dumped so many cucumeris mites on him and he’s made a FULL recovery ❤️🩹 🙌
Next we have my Hoya crassipetiolata. He’s one of my all time fav hoyas, and he did not even let broadmites slow him down a little. Look at all this growth!
Then my Hoya fitchii. He did not get broadmites, but he’s still chugging out the new growth and vines 🙌 I definitely need to extend his trellis for those new long vines soon!
I hope everyone has a lovely Thursday!

@DreamMachine these mites are little miracle workers! They’re happy, the plants are happy, we’re happy! The calathea looks GORGEOUS. 🥳😍
@MamaLinne thank you! Right?? 😱 he’s seriously been chugging out 3 leaves at a time now. I can tell he’s so much happier 🥹🥲 Now he’s got 11 (this one goes up to 11!🤘 🎸 😜)
@MamaLinne aren’t they just? 🥰 the parent one won’t improve but I can keep harvesting new growths that look healthy though!
@FamedGymealily I keep wanting to get rid of the bunny ears I’m rehabbing because I always leave every interaction covered in needles z🥲😂😆
@MamaLinne mine are all small enough to handle with gardening tweezers, so I’ve avoided any owies so far. ☝🏻🩸🩸
@Idplantthat these are the ones I recently got. They…mostly work? 😬😅 SLARMOR Long Gardening-Gloves... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DG1QRQ1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@MamaLinne thanks! 🙏 I’ll definitely have to check them out. I swear when I have to replant cactuses I try and put on so many layers 😂 and yet I still end up with thorns. It must just be my prickly nature attacking the same prickliness 🤣🤣
@Idplantthat ha! I haven’t thought of it that way, but you’re probably right lol! I keep thinking I’m too darn stubborn!
@MamaLinne oh thanks for the before and afters!! I’ve got an outdoor cactus 🌵 I’ve been wondering about whether or not to chop/prop. I’m inspired now 👍🙌
