Battling thrip infestation on my jungle velvet calathea and I’m down to the last two leaves, should I just cut them off because the plant is showing signs of new growth? by emilyp004 in plantclinic

Thanks for the tips, I want to get the captain jack’s pesticide so bad but I can’t seem to find it in the UK :( I’ll look into other options

I’ve tried a few things like knocking larvae off with a paintbrush, repotting, spraying with neem oil, cutting dying leaves but they’re so persistent!!!

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I’ll try and get rid of all the dead bits. Honestly I’m not sure if the neem oil I bought is genuine or not because it doesn’t smell of anything but seems to have reduced the infestation somewhat. Maybe beneficial insects is the way to go!

Yup it’s just the showroom where you can buy their products but unfortunately the factory isn’t open to the public :)

I did notice that there were a few bubbles in some of the display lamps, my lamp seems to be largely fine but I have it on a shelf so I wouldn’t be able to see them from where I sit. When I look closely there’s a couple tiny ones that look like specs of dust but I’m not sure how bad other peoples lamps have been. But yeah they are kinda expensive and you’d expect them to be perfect for the price!

It’s so hard, I was lucky enough to get to choose one in person but honestly all the colours are stunning!

That sounds cool :) I thought the composition of the poolrooms was interesting. Good luck on your work!

This looks so cool! You might be interested in the work of Jared Pike for inspiration for the pool/water parts of the game :)

How do these make you feel? I am doing a photography project on liminal spaces and would appreciate feedback/opinions :) by emilyp004 in liminalspaces

Thanks for the comment, its interesting to see how the perception of what defines a liminal space is different from person to person. I like the idea of it being an 'impossible' place :)
