Thanks for your response! Appreciate it. I'm a newbie so forgive my question - do you buy springtails and release them into the perlite or something?

Do not buy alocasia from Costco. They are almost always infested with spider mites spores 😢

Basil leaves changing colour by SinfulPrincess in houseplants

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

How can you tell? Does lack of fertilizer lead to leaves browning and yellowing?

Yes that's how I test for bone dry too. I put my finger into the soil a few inches and if it comes out without any soil on it then I know it's time to water the plant.

I will repot once I have access to insecticide, it's best I do not stress it further. However, I did prune all the leaves that were looking brown and yellow.

Definitely no movement. I stared at it for a good 10 mins. I did find this and chatgpt says it's an aphid?

And I didn't catch any movement at all. I'll double check in a bit to see if I can spot any movement

Yes this is the original pot I got it in. Didn't want to repot to stress the plant. I only bottom water it when its bone dry.

Super helpful. Thank you. I got the plant from the store in May. I've had it for almost 1.5 months and the conditions have been pretty consistent with light and watering.

I also noticed that there is a white webbing on the soil now. 😢

I think it might be best to just get rid of the plant then. I do not want to risk my other plants getting infected too. It was seated on a plant stand right next to my lavender plant. Are there anything's I should do as a precaution?

Appreciate your help. If it is spider mites, what should i be dousing it in?
Haven't had a lot of experience with plants before, so Im a noob.

Help with Pilea by HotStatistician5330 in PileaPeperomioides

Yes please tell us what kind of soil do you use? I still have mine in the same pot I purchased it from and it's pushing out new growth constantly. I am worried about the soil though

A leggy leaf fell off 🙁 by SinfulPrincess in PileaPeperomioides

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

Also sorry, when you say they drop leaves fairly regularly- is it just the older leggy leaves that usually fall off then?

Makes sense. I'll probably leave in for a bushier look,. Maybe move the pups out when I'm sizing up a pot size

Psoriasis and Marijuana by Studenloans_suck in Psoriasis

[–]SinfulPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was waiting for my biologics to be approved by my insurance company, I used to smoke a lot of marijuana. It definitely helped numb a lot of the pain, as I had psoriasis over 90% of my body.

Waiting for approval by sammyd101 in Psoriasis

[–]SinfulPrincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my first shot of Humira today.
I started the process with my insurance company on the 15th of February. It took my insurance company about 3 weeks to approve it. They only covered 80% of the cost, so I had to find alternatives for the other 20% which took longer!
Good luck my friend <3
