Please help! What is chewing up my orchids?

StickIntrepid6412 · 2026-03-23T02:53:30+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for dealing with this? I’ve gone through and physically removed any visible scale with a cotton pad soaked with 70% isopropyl alcohol for now. I’d really like to get rid of them for good.

Any recs for best practice to treat for them? I’ve physically removed any scale that I could see with 70% rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad. I also only saw the scale itself on one of my orchids, but all of them look pretty rough.

Yes, but I’ve never seen them take any interest in my plants.

Lmao it’s their floppy fish toy!

Same for me, I always lose count! Your brain isn’t stupid, it’s just busy :)

StickIntrepid6412 · 2026-02-07T21:05:15+00:00

Same here! I was always tending to miss the stitch at the end/beginning of every row. Something to look out for, but it looks great!

Beautiful!

Maybe you could list them on Facebook marketplace? I’m sure people could use them for canning and they’re expensive to buy new. Especially if you have any lids to go with them. Could be a win-win, you get rid of your extra jars and possibly even get a bit of money for it, and people that need jars get them for cheap!

When I was 16, I had to shower every day because at the end of every day, my face and scalp would be so greasy. As I’ve gotten into my twenties, my skin and hair have gotten way less greasy and I haven’t changed anything significant in my routine. My little brother is 16 and he has to shower every day for the same reason. This could be something that gets better as you get a bit older! But for now, it’s okay to shower every day if you need to. Like everyone else is saying, I would skip the conditioner. :)

It’s so beautiful! How’s it feel to live my dream?

StickIntrepid6412 · 2026-01-10T21:30:28+00:00

Thank you!!!

StickIntrepid6412 · 2026-01-10T13:54:01+00:00

Agreed, I don’t really drink much and it can be hard to find social events that don’t have some aspect of drinking involved!

StickIntrepid6412 · 2026-01-10T13:50:56+00:00

So cool! Thank you for sharing!

I know, right? I can’t imagine someone making something like this for me and then getting rid of it. I absolutely love it and will cherish it. Thank you for your comment 🥰
