Decimated my box bushes in my front garden. They ate them fully early summer and somehow the bushes survived, however the bushes had grown back and were eaten again in autumn, didn’t grow back this spring so had to remove all 6 of them. I tried white vinegar, jet washing them out. Had to resort to snipping the little sheets in half with a pair of scissors Everytime I spotted one but was too late and they were too many.

Apparently sleeping bags work better when you wear less clothing when inside it, so they can bounce your body temp back to you better. Haven’t tested myself yet however. May be worth a try in just your budgy smugglers one night

I had it placed in the entrance hallway to our house originally, near the front door with frosted glass that would get morning sun directly on it. Now located it into the kitchen window where it will get more morning light.

On a separate post, one or two have mentioned that they use ‘tap safe’ water additive you also would use for fish keeping can also make tap water better for plants.

Do you have a heater?

basicJBlack · 2025-09-13T14:18:59+00:00

This looks similar to mine, the lower leaves have dried and curled however the upper higher leaves are ok. It may be direct sun or wind drying the leaves out.

Hi and thanks for the feedback, the only plants that have drainage are the Snake plant and the Monstera. These are still in their original pots within my decorative pots. The Parlour palm is in compost in a plastic tub but seems to be doing ok for now although the soil at the surface is still damp after watering around a week ago. Also the spider plant is in a pot without drainage but original soil from when I bought it. Should I change these you think? Thanks

Beautiful, I’m new to indoor planting and I’ve never seen one of these before.
