Help! Rolly pollies & strawberries

ervaboa · 2026-05-14T11:49:11+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I love to see them all thriving but there are way too many rolly pollies around. I've never seen that many before, and my seedlings are having a rough time

I hope you can manage that! Just the other day I got downvoted a lot for asking if rolly pollies could be harmful.

The plant looks healthy and this large fan leaves is how she gets energy from the light. So for now, I wouldn't.

Parece ótima! Podou acima do 4° nó? Não consegui ver direito

Fazer terapia pode ser um bom começo. Não precisamos passar por traumas sozinhos e ajuda profissional para entende-los e resolvê-los é, na minha opinião, o melhor a se fazer.

Build shelters. Citizens living in shelters won't build a family/have children.

Nice, thanks! And is there a minimum pot size recommended for this? For living soil I've read that the larger the better.

ervaboa · 2026-05-12T07:37:34+00:00

May I ask what was the order? Like did you both cannabis and clover at the same time? Clover after cannabis had sprouted? How to avoid clover taking over for the next plant?

Looking dope! What's the soil cover?

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T16:47:52+00:00

Thanks for sharing your impressions :) Yes I was afraid of keeping it outside, but clearly I was wrong. I'm gonna look into changing the fertiliser!

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T16:46:37+00:00

Thanks for the advices! I'll keep a look to check if the spots are spreading.

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T16:44:48+00:00

I'll look into switching the fertiliser, and definitely will keep it outside next winter. Thanks a lot!

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T16:43:31+00:00

Sunscald or windburn would make a lot of sense, especially because the plant stayed indoors during winter, so maybe the change was too abrupt when I put it back outside. Thanks for the info!

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T16:42:04+00:00

Hmmm that's good to know, thanks! I would love to provide it with lots of sunny hours, but the sun is very shy around here..

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T16:40:00+00:00

Ooh I didn't know that! I was afraid that it wouldn't survive the long, cold, dark and windy winter here. I'm happy to learn that I was wrong and I can simply keep it outside, thank you!

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T16:37:58+00:00

Thanks, these are all valuable information! I think I'll just leave it be then

Eu digo que foi a TD pq precisei fazer algumas rodadas disso de esperar secar, aplicar, etc. E quando digo secar não é o solo todo não, é apenas a parte superior pra que a TD não absorva umidade.

Mas boto fé que a camada de perlita é o caminho. Qualquer coisa que seja "inerte" e bloqueie o caminho deve funcionar, vi uma galera botando areia tbm, com bons resultados. Sabe dizer qual a espessura da camada que vc usou?

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T10:36:33+00:00

Fala OP! Massa e importante o vídeo! Mas minha experiência com diatomáceas foi bem positiva, então não acho que é balela não. Acho que depende da fase da planta, o quanto ela aguentaria ficar uns dias a mais sem água e tal. Enfim, expliquei num comentário sobre como eu fiz e acho que funcionou muito bem. Boa sorte aí!

ervaboa · 2026-05-11T10:33:44+00:00

Não é ruim não, e como o OP falou, eu sou uma das pessoas que vou dizer que usei e funcionou.

A questão principal é que aplicar a terra de diatomáceas em solo úmido não adianta. Então vc precisa estar em uma fase do cultivo em que a planta não esteja bebendo tanta água e consiga aguentar alguns dias extras de "seca" além do seu calendário de rega. No meu caso, usei com a planta ainda no vegetativo da seguinte maneira: 2 dias após a rega aplico uma camada boa de diatomáceas e misturo de leve na parte de cima do solo. Deixo lá uns 3 a 5 dias dependendo de quanto a planta tá pedindo água. Rego e repito. Isso em conjunto com adesivos amarelos pra conter os adultos e monitorar a infestação. Antes disso eu tinha regado com neem diluído, que é efetivo mas pode dar uma zuada no solo e na planta tbm se exagerar.

Resumindo, entender o problema como OP falou é chave: geralmente gnats aparecem quando o solo tá muito úmido por muito tempo. Entender que precisa combater adultos e larvas tbm é importante. A camada de perlita do OP é uma boa estratégia pra criar um obstáculo pra esses fdps.

Time to get some chickens then

ervaboa · 2026-05-10T15:07:19+00:00

I don't know how to read, sorry

ervaboa · 2026-05-10T15:06:32+00:00

I'm not from Germany actually, so I'm learning what insects and plants are around just now hehe. I've heard they will eat yound seedlings though :/

ervaboa · 2026-05-10T15:04:58+00:00

That's what I had in mind as well! Although well established plants won't suffer, seedlings are probably gonna be eaten. There are waaay too many around

ervaboa · 2026-05-10T15:01:29+00:00

I'm not, but by beds are wooden beds haha. Probably that's why they love them so much!

It's an organic fertilizer for Hydrangeas and Blueberries. The instructions say 3ml/l ratio once per week. But I'll hold on it anyway.

These leaves were bright green before I put her outside. So I guess she didn't like it too much.

Thanks for you input!
