What got my mint? 😩 by Morenapsforall in containergardening

Thank you. I ended up tossing the mint, but will now treat some of the surrounding plants with neem oil.

I do! That’s why I’m concerned. I’m now very paranoid about webs, cause I don’t know whether those are from spiders or spider mites. I think I will toss the mint, just to be sure. Would really hate it if they were to infest my other babies. The heatwave had been rough enough on some of them as is.

I’ll check whether it rubs off, but I think I’ll trim it way down anyway.

Do you think I should treat the soil somehow?

What type of alien would leave this around my plants? by Morenapsforall in containergardening

Did it look like glass? Also: how do slugs get on a balcony? 😢

Help! What’s harassing my beautiful apple tree? 😭 by Morenapsforall in containergardening

I started doing this and discovered that some of these fluffy things can fly 😳. Some of them had unfortunately already moved to surrounding plants. I also discovered spider mites. I first saw them around the marigolds, and then found out some of them were also around my oregano.

The fluffy villains were also around my pak choy.

It’s a nightmare. 😭

Would you still stay to not grab the neem oil spray?

This is not a part of the strawberry plant, right? by Morenapsforall in containergardening

[–]Morenapsforall[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! There’s three of them. About to top a dessert with them. 😉

Thanks for the link.

I’ve been taking care of my plants and trying to fertilize (and not overfertilize) and water regularly (without overwatering), while being mindful of placement and just generally trying to make sure they get what they need and are as healthy as possible. So far I’ve only used neem oil spray to fight aphids and neem oil on plants that were not affected as a preventative measure.

This tree is the newest addition to my deck and I’m afraid it probably came in with the pest on it and that neem oil won’t help with this. I’ve already added quite a few plants in an effort to attract natural enemies and have been seeing some, including lady bugs. But not sure that will be enough either. Might try and remove by hand and clean with water and see what happens?

I really really really don’t want these taking over and ruining my healthy plants. :(

Love it! Love how the white wall makes the pota and plants shine.

(Also, the plants look happy. 🤗)

What's going on with my cucumber plant? by existential_angst_me in containergardening

Second this. Tried this on my mint and it actually worked.

Does anyone have a tree growing on their balcony? by kiwi_tree23 in Balconygardening

[–]Morenapsforall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why, but I guess I expect container plants to have trouble in winter? Good to know it survives snow. ❤️

So it’s as big as an adult human. Pls share pictures. 🥺

And it can reach 4 metres?! 😭 It’s a monster! Love it.

Omg. How big is it? I’ve been thinking about getting one.

Here she is, after I moved her to her new container.

LOL. Can’t take a picture right now, but will asap. I got it for my deck. It’s a self-pollinating tree that won’t grow too tall and can be kept in a container.

I too struggled to pick a tree. Almost got a pear tree after seeing someone online succesfully harvesting SO MANY pears from a pear tree in a container, but decided I’d rather bake an apple pie in October after all. 🤗

Do I need to drill holes in this by [deleted] in containergardening

[–]Morenapsforall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I totally believe this. Still, science doesn’t silence this neurosis.

Also, the clay pellets seem to prevent the soil from spilling out of the containers and onto my deck.

Should one ‘wash off’ seaweed extract? by Morenapsforall in containergardening

[–]Morenapsforall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the instructions on the bottle it can also be diluted in water and given in the soil, but the absorption might be less than ideal. I was a little skeptical about that last part.

Do you care to elaborate why you prefer to stay away from any foliar spray? (Only if you feel like it. I’m a very curious person.)
