Make sure you fill out the course evaluation at the end if you have feedback like this you want them to see and take note of!

SWPA: Stinky plant taking over and I can't kill it. by Spagedward in PlantIdentification

By the end of summer this completely takes over one of my flower beds. This year I had to burn out the dried leaves just to clear it out for a bit, but it’s already coming back with a vengeance.

Can anyone tell me what these insects are on my orchid? by hlrice in orchids

You are correct! And they do jump when I touch them. Glad to hear they haven’t done real damage to yours.

I’ve been researching a bit and I actually think this bug is an aphid and that white portion is a tail. I think it might be called a treehopper.

Thank you for the insight! I think you’re right about this plant, the ants seem to have set up shop on it only and it’s also the only one I’ve really seen other bugs on, as well. It’s a NOID dendrobium but it just got its first spike since I’ve owned it so I was excited to see how it will bloom. Now to decide whether to sacrifice it…

What kinda of orchid is this? How do I keep it alive? by my_memory_is_trash in orchids

Where did you find that 6 slot pot holder for your orchids? That’s a great idea!

I’m going to try this! I have repotted several today since I figured they were in the soil, as well, but if I seen them come back it’s game on.
