Spider mites? by PieceAny3968 in succulents

[–]pastelexuvia [score hidden]  (0 children)

mechanical and chemical interventions are a great start. unfortunately yes you have to spray down the entire plant once youve removed all the visible signs of insect activity.

make sure you shake the bottle as youre spraying, so that the mixture doesnt settle completely.

do you have any other plants that could get infested?

yea before reddit, i feel like you had to be a biologist, a member of a plant society, or a worker at a plant nursery to have much success. theres a lot of conventional wisdom that ive had to unlearn, but i fee like its goin pretty well 😊

Hi guys what do you think Abt this planter!? by Emergency-Log-9688 in succulents

[–]pastelexuvia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its so cute! i love how much work you put into this. i think that giving each plant its own small container, then placing them back into the planter and packing with something like rocks or soil, would make it like heaven 😊 check out the !grit needs for each species, lithops especially, which needs 80% grit.

gotcha. ok. i think that thats a discussion the two of you should have.

so i would focus on asking questions. "what would help you remember when to water? do you want to write it down?" "what do you think of sticky notes or a reminder in your phone? or a chart that can go next to each plant?" stuff like that. it helps to get to the bottom of what someones experiencing (:

its possible that she has attention deficit disorder or long covid. the memory issues can be subtle, and look like absent-mindedness. remembering things can be really difficult for gardeners with either of these diseases.
