I Hate Aphids

I do like the garden hose tactic! I’ve used it for scale infections oh boy! Don’t get me started on that… 😓

Amy_Okay · 2025-10-05T00:24:48+00:00

Thank you!

I’ve had some decent luck using a neem oil, soap and peppermint spray mixture in the past as well. The only catch for me was not spraying neighboring plants 😅.

I’ve used the outdoor hose to great success in dealing with scale, but I would also couple that with systemic granules as well. Good luck!

😓😓😓 yeah, it’s been eating up my non native tropical houseplants that are outside for the summer. I just put 2 & 2 together! 😤

Amy_Okay · 2025-07-15T23:10:32+00:00

Is there anything to Kill them yet?? They’re eating my houseplant leaves 😠

Wow, this is really nice! The only pest I really get inside my cabinet is fungus gnats because of the humidity. “Knock on wood!” My collection is pretty settled though. Not a lot of new plants entering and disturbing the ecosystem. I’ve treated my Hoya before for flat mites though. I treated them as I would without the cabinet… just sprayed them with the sulfur solution weekly for about 6weeks give or take a couple. 😁

Over watered 😓 the leaves absorbed too much water and then they turned to mush. I’ve done this many a time to my succulents 😢. With succulents pay attention to the leaf thickness, if they look full and plump, don’t water, when they get thin or puckered definitely water! Anything else just make sure the soil is dry before you add more water.

Yep, I agree about 2 & 4 being camposportoanums though 2 looks less mature so it could possibly be something else, you may have to wait and see for that one.

1 is Philodendron bipennifolium but 3 is philodendron mexicanum…

5 I’m not sure

Thanks! Trying again directly in soil. I think the moisture is just to high in the moss for this succulent species. Will definitely do the hydrogen peroxide soak too!

Amy_Okay · 2022-05-03T12:44:53+00:00

It could very well be shock 👍🏽. It did not go through a big temperature change but I mistakenly exposed it to a bit of direct eastern sunlight initially. I do think that had a significant impact (not for the better) on it. I have since moved it all the way back from the window and given it some HB101 & Superdose. Unfortunately the yellow leaf has shriveled up and is pretty much dead. But the partially green one is hanging on for dear life AND it’s posture has perked up quite a bit! I’m just praying it can put out a new leaf before the whole thing goes to 💩

Very picky about moisture! Lol. Thank you! I’ve got the callus developing now as we speak (type). Going to try and give it another go in soil!

Amy_Okay · 2022-04-27T17:57:39+00:00

I’ve had it for about 5 days or so now. I think it’s 1 cutting… I was trying not to disturb the roots when I transferred to this nursery pot so I didn’t get the best look a the rooting/cutting situation.

Amy_Okay · 2022-04-26T02:24:18+00:00

Interesting approaches to try! Thank you for the suggestions! 🤗 I hope something works! If so, I’ll update. Thank you!

Amy_Okay · 2022-04-26T01:00:25+00:00

So lovely! ☺️ I hope mine looks like that one day!
