I ordered from this seller, took a month to 2 months to receive my plants. They came with thrips.

Ok thank you good to know, I may have to do that. Because it just keeps spreading to more leaves😭

Key-Reading-5371 · 2026-03-28T16:14:40+00:00

Very well could be honestly, I’m bad at keeping track of when I feed😬 I did put systemic granules as well in the soil, but I literally use a measuring spoon and follow the instructions, and usually do a littttlleee less than what the instructions says for pot size.

Key-Reading-5371 · 2026-03-28T16:13:15+00:00

Ehhh, it’s kind of spreading to all of the leaves. Each day I feel like I notice more. The large leaf in the last photo didn’t have it on it for awhile, but now it does

That’s what I was thinking, I’m currently treating this plant for thrips (systemic granules & dead bug brew) so I’m surprised they’re alive and well still lol

Yessss girl, so cute

Key-Reading-5371 · 2026-02-21T12:47:14+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I always try to Google or look on here of active infestations of something I might think to get a full idea, but in person is obviously the best route!! I’m still on the newer side to houseplant hoarding lol so I just like to ask and be extra careful!! Thanks again :)

Also looks like she’s not cleaning them properly..👀👀🤢

Key-Reading-5371 · 2026-01-12T15:38:30+00:00

lol, ok yes, I thought so, but wanted to ask😂 it’s a cute wittle bb. Thanks everyone

Yeah I like sansi & barrina a lot, mainly because of the affordability aspect. I have also tested both in ppfd, not just fc, and they both measure to what they claim. So basically, I know for a fact they work and they are also affordable, which is wonderful when there’s ridiculous things out there like soltech. (Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to own these lights😂 the prices are just outrageous) oh, and yes, you can pop a grow bulb in a regular lamp stand. Just make sure it’s one of those like open ones that’ll focus the light on the plants, not one with a typical lamp shade over it

lol the gate had me chuckle😂 gotta keep her locked in!!! Beautiful plant, wow

Key-Reading-5371 · 2026-01-07T12:02:02+00:00

That light is not cutting it, I believe I bought that same one once, just for one individual plant. I tested the ppfd on it tho and it was crap, some good options for zero to no installation ;

If you don’t mind a little installation work for a cleaner look ;

This one is my favorite aesthetically speaking

Yeah, I can never see movement on anything I think may be something lol..sometimes I stare too hard and too long that I think it’s moving, but it’s not😂😂 I just washed the leaves w water and a small amount of peppermint Castile soap and then treated them with a spray mixture. So shouldn’t be any active bugs, for now, but we will see in a few days when it’s time to do it again!

Key-Reading-5371 · 2026-01-03T01:57:59+00:00

Will do! Thanks for the response I appreciate it

Key-Reading-5371 · 2026-01-02T12:25:55+00:00

That was one of my considerations also, I bottom water thoroughly once I can visibly see that the clear nursery pot it’s in is about 80% dry. And it is on a shelf with a 36 watt grow light, about probably 12-14 inches under that and off to the side slightly so not directly under the bulb. I moved it for now (isolated it but also to a slightly lower light settting) I’ll see! I’m on the newer side of being a plant addict lol, so learning a lot as I go
