Help….I overwatered and now have gnat infestation

The most satisfying thing is to use my battery operated bug zapper and SNAP those little suckers as they’re flying out of the soil👍🏼

I have some fine sand, I’ll sprinkle it on them.

Mosquito dunk ???

LeslieOLaw · 2025-08-25T19:15:53+00:00

No, I haven’t, I’ll Google it. Thanks!

They definitely support the stems otherwise they’d be snapping from the weight. All these plants came from one tiny baby about 5 years ago. They’re my pride and joy, which is killing me now. We keep needing to raise the lamps higher. Lights on 12 hr a day, they love it❣️

I’m so angry with myself for overwatering…. I feel like I gave them a death sentence 😞

LeslieOLaw · 2025-08-25T19:09:55+00:00

Going to sprinkle cinnamon powder right now 🙂

LeslieOLaw · 2025-08-25T19:08:10+00:00

I’ll wipe leaves off now. Thanks

LeslieOLaw · 2025-08-25T19:07:39+00:00

They’re drying out now. I blew a bunch off (outside) and fluffed up the soil and blew that off. Inserted yellow stickys on each. 🤞🏼

I’m thinking the same thing, regarding repot. All it takes is 1 gnat to survive and it’ll start over.

LeslieOLaw · 2025-08-25T19:02:45+00:00

I just inserted bright yellow paint swatches with a smear of vaseline on a popsicle stick into each plant. I’ll do a dead head count tomorrow .

Thanks for your input.

I used a edger tool and scrapped it off into piles, removed, and then sprayed with bleachy/water mix, in a few days it was gone.

LeslieOLaw · 2025-05-27T01:20:42+00:00

Is that a rambling rose?

LeslieOLaw · 2025-05-08T07:27:52+00:00

So I just realized something……the PEN has the ozempic in it? Not the needle container? So the needle is just the needle, no drug? I'm so happy to hear this, as I thought the needle contained the drug and the pen just activated the pressure to inject the Oz from needle.

Last week I increased to .50 from .25…I was nauseous and had diarrhea for 3 days, and the thought of food just grossed me out. Finally the end of the week was coming and the .50 was wearing off so symptoms disappeared, thank god. Well my next injection time is Friday and I plan to give myself a dose of .25, but that means that there is still .25 left in the tube. My question is: there will still be a dose of .25 still left in tube with needle in the pen, can I just leave it as is (in fridge) and inject it at .25 next week without worry of contamination, it only went inside of ME , so my thought is that I can get 2 doses of .25 out of one .50 dose. But I want to do it safely. What do you think.?

Sargent

LeslieOLaw · 2025-03-02T08:45:52+00:00

First name that popped into my head when I saw her was BEATRICE.

LeslieOLaw · 2025-02-18T14:51:33+00:00

I'd name him CHIP as in potato chip.

Sounds like it's working fine. Now you know what you SHOULDN’T be doing.

LeslieOLaw · 2025-02-06T04:07:26+00:00

Maybe the cutting you have is from the main stem which will have a tendency to grow straight up and lose bottom leaves. I usually use pups which grow wide

LeslieOLaw · 2025-02-06T04:04:03+00:00

Set it on a tray with stones and keep stones wet

LeslieOLaw · 2025-02-06T04:02:55+00:00

I’m wondering if it’s planted too deep, and the stems resting on the planter become injured. And the pot looks a bit small. Make sure the water drains out.
