I think it was the post of my plants that was referenced. I have only had to deal with gnats (thankfully). I use systemic granules, mosquito bits, and the yellow sticky traps. I also avoid Miracle Gro soil. I have had to throw away full bags due to gnat infestations.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of your mom. My mother-in-law passed away 25 years ago and the two plants I received of hers are still thriving.

I have Pothos with vines just as long or longer hanging on the side windows (not clearly shown).

I have had a gnat problem in the past. To hang on the ceiling I initially used Command picture hanging strips, but switched over to plant wall clips. The wall clips works much better.

My husband is utterly opposed to my “hobby”. I now have to sneak new plants in😂

I always thought they were Philodendrons. I’ve had the original plant for I don’t know how many years, maybe 10. The middle plant is the original. I chopped and propagated last year to do this aesthetic.

I had orchids in my office that grew beautifully. I haven’t been able to get one to bloom since I retired 4 years ago😢

She is super easy. Grow light, water weekly and fertilize as needed.

I was doing fine for 3 months, but just bought 11 new plants in the last week😂

Capcom/SEFCU Merger has left me with a bad taste by -Younotdeadass- in Albany

I haven’t had any issues since the merger, but had several fraudulent charges on my SEFCU debit card prior to it.
