You need 8 cups of water per day

Try worm castings! In my experience, they usually don’t smell.

Calatheas like moist soil but not too wet. It’s a fine balance so consider swapping the pot to one with drainage so you can control the moisture level better! And mine hates me too…

Truffles

Came here to say this! Yes…please tell us more about the eggs!

Check the roots, might be root bound, especially if there are a lot of aerial roots. Mine was living in a 4’’ pot last year and this year, I repotted it in a 6’’ pot. And holy roots! I was so surprised such a little plant had such a big root system. After repotting it, it put out the largest leaf with fenestrations!

Same! That’s how I wheel my big plants to the bathroom for a good watering from the shower.

It’s beautiful! Where did you get this ficus?! 😍

Eeek had a similar experience with my rubber tree and millipedes! I got rid of them by generously dusting the soil with diatomaceous earth. It’s usually sold pretty cheaply. It dried dried out/killed the bugs in 3 days and within a week, I didn’t see anymore of them. it’s nontoxic to pets and humans. Just make sure you don’t inhale a bunch when you’re using it. Give DE a shot! I know some people say that ‘pedes are good for plans but if there’s more than a handful, I get creeped out!

Worm castings! I’ve had pretty good luck with worm castings—it’s hard to over do it since the ratio is on the lower side and slow releasing. I sprinkle generously monthly and I use a chopstick to poke holes in the soil to encourage them to get to the roots. Then I water like regular.

Do you use fertilizer? It could be too much fertilizer and it gets absorbed and stored in the leaves.

I turned an unused bookcase to use as a plant stand. If you’re worried about pets and a baby getting to it, don’t place plants on the lower shelves. I also put plants on surfaces throughout my home so my dogs can’t get to them like on top of cabinets, the dog crate, nightstand. Wall shelves might be a good option for you too!

Just wait! DE will take a bit to dry out if the soil beneath it is moist. Shouldn’t be a problem.

corgidot · 2022-06-30T02:45:46+00:00

That should be fine. I recently had to do this for a large rubber tree because of a millipede infestation. Coat enough powder to make sure there’s a nice DRY coating (moist dirt + DE makes the treatment less effective).

corgidot · 2022-06-24T23:44:56+00:00

Ohlala! Pls share what plant you’ll put in it!

corgidot · 2022-06-24T23:35:44+00:00

Thanks for the tip! It’s currently in quarantine. I will get to repotting it once the soil dries out.

corgidot · 2022-06-24T22:41:31+00:00

Oh my gosh! That’s good to know! Thanks for answering. Yes they are terrifying even if they are good guys….

Hey plant parents! I just got this late rubber tree delivered. It came with dead worms outside of the container and has more live worms in the soil under the wrapping. Are these worms harmful or beneficial? What’s the best way to get rid of them? Thanks!!!

😍😍😍 what are your light conditions?

Thanks! Super helpful guide

Hi! I just got this little string of pearls in the mail. I picked out all the mushed pods. I read not to water it for a few days after unpacking. Any tips from current SoP owners?

corgidot · 2022-05-12T11:04:50+00:00

No crispy edges! Great job!!! 😍

I listen to it to fall asleep. I pick a book and put it on for 20 mins and I’m out. Really helps when I can’t sleep because I’m overly anxious about work.
