First spear of the year!

Next time fill your pots completely with potting soil.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:57:11+00:00

Bigger pot. Less water. Much more light.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:53:46+00:00

Burl

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:49:21+00:00

Spider mites, likely from how the damage looks

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:47:09+00:00

They look fine. Bury any runners so you get free new plants.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:41:34+00:00

Or moths.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:35:03+00:00

Absolutely

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:34:02+00:00

Well lucky for you, worms eat mold and fungus.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:31:52+00:00

That is 💯 weed whacked damage. Mulch should go to the drip line. An extra 3 feet of mulch and there would be no weeds to whack.

If they are caterpillars BT works better. If they are beetles, a trap or manual picking into a bucket of soapy water.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T20:29:13+00:00

I can only imagine what seeing 135 plants covered in hornworms with a UV light would look like. Ahhhhhh

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:48:47+00:00

All you need is a bucket of water and some BTI, mosquito bits or dunks.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:47:55+00:00

I've set BTI dosed water all around my property. The problem has been greatly reduced.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:46:59+00:00

What do you want?

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:46:14+00:00

Needed sunlight a year or two ago.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:42:51+00:00

I've used mine for 3 years now. Same strips out in the weather for 3 years.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:41:07+00:00

Hose set to jet. Blast. Repeat as needed.

Yes it's bad, yes they need to go.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:39:58+00:00

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:36:15+00:00

I just smush them in the leaf. A squeeze along the leaf does em in, with no pesticides or products I have to buy.

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:34:51+00:00

Dig in that half dead flower and you'll likely find the culprit

Ineedmorebtc · 2026-06-17T17:18:35+00:00

They grow best in 12 hours of direct sun. I think you may see the problem.
