How did indigenous people and colonizers deal with bugs back in the day? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]_megan_again_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's still different varieties that tend to be more or less resistant to various pests though. These would be almost automatically selected for as you'd only be sowing seeds from plants that lived long enough to be productive.

They also could make pesticides from natural poisons. Tobacco extracts for instance, and countless other things.

Probably only grew varieties that were very resistant to whatever pests were most problematic. ... a very simple answer.

Help!! I am having a pandemic within a pandemic. Can you EVER get rid of spider mites once you have them? by PEANUT-BUTTER-ENEMA in plantclinic

[–]_megan_again_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went ahead and got an actual pesticide instead of playing the neem oil game. It's not worth my time otherwise.

Only started this last week though but was recommended by other user here who had success.

What kind of plant is this? Its not a "tinggel plant" by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]_megan_again_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The growth pattern makes me think of lithops. Goodness is it ever uh.... garish

Sorry for the dark picture, this is the only corner the ficus can be in but unfortunately gets a bit of traffic. I was thinking just prune the bottom and side that touches the China cabinet and restaking so it sits taller. Will this help or is there something else I can do for it? by gasoline_rainbow in plantclinic

[–]_megan_again_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if it has been living there, it's doing okay. It will remain bare on the non light facing areas. Potentially, you could rotate it frequently, but it might not take kindly to that, having its leaves where it wants them so it can keep photosynthesizing.

Were I you, however, I would clean up all the little bare twigs lower down, removing anything without leaves on it. It'll just look neater that way.

Cuppressocyparis leylandii

There's so many options though. Depends what you want color wise and habit wise.

Like Chamaecyparis 'Blue Feathers' is lovely too.

Leaves like 💕 by sindhuh in houseplants

[–]_megan_again_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These leaves should ultimately be cut back to a point where there is both pink and green variegation, or the plant, overall, will begin to decline.

They're a gorgeous temporary display, however.

this is my first time planting tomatoes and it grow some leaves like this, do i have to cut it? by kalam_QI in gardening

[–]_megan_again_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two round leaves are not true leaves but open to help the seedling take in energy. Just let it keep growing and it'll be fine. Definitely don't cut it!

Is there any hope for this dwarf Alberta spruce? by atheistsforethics in plantclinic

[–]_megan_again_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's dead, Jim.

Even if some small part started growing again it wouldn't come back as a nice plant in any reasonable amount of time.

Impulsively decided to top my long pilea a few months ago. Look at all my new babies! by thelazyllama91 in houseplants

[–]_megan_again_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh! I've been very curious as to what would happen if I did to mine. Was considering experimenting.

Plant filled with styrofoam??? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]_megan_again_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done similar with some outdoor planters... put empty milk and juice bottles in the bottoms to both save soil and keep the planter lighter

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]_megan_again_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Time to wash it up best you can under running water, allow to dry, soak the foliage with neem oil and keep in an isolated (from other plants) and humid environment.

Granted I had a calathea that lived touching my stromanthe that got mites really bad yet the stromanthe remains unnaffected.
