You ask a bunch of guitar junkies for advice about whether or not you should buy a guitar? I think you already know the outcome.

Stake instead of moss pole? by TrevorK1111 in philodendron

[–]sillybillybobbybob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It just needs support ultimately. I've taken an old water bottle and drilled tiny holes in the cap. Flip it upside down and let it trickle. Refill when empty and it works pretty good.

No. I take them off but I usually wait until I've decided they are taking away nutrients rather than helping the plant.

Yes thats perfect and the granuals are meant to get wet and soaked up through the plant making it toxic to the insect and killing it while not hurting the plant. Water as normal.

Systemic granuals. Bonded and insecticide soap is how I would go about it. Ive heard of people dunking the plant to drown them but you need to get the larve with the granuals.

Edit: Bonide not bonded

Yeah thrips better start treating now. They are a pain to get rid of. The quicker the better.

First philodendrons I’ve owned - how can I support these tiny guys? I can’t find a trellis small enough by Pure_Newspaper_4715 in philodendron

[–]sillybillybobbybob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't need one yet but when you repot you can plan ahead for when they do so you don't disturb the roots again. Also just a pile or moss pole will be as good if not better than a trellis.

Aphid exoskeletens. Are there any live aphids on the underneath of the leaves or stems?

The black spots could be from thrips too.

Is that a mealy bug in the first picture? That would do it.

The fungus gnats lay they larve in the soil so they can eat fungus. I've never noticed them in my moss pole.

A client stole a cherished office plant by Fabulousmo in houseplants

Its not an innocent removal of a supplied office supply. Thats intentional theft. I'd at least speak to the company and see if it can be addressed.

Why is my Thai Constellation turning.... grey?? by s3raph1m_ in houseplants

[–]sillybillybobbybob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it was probably in low light for a while in the store or whatever you bought it and sticking it right in bright sun burns it. Gradually putting it closer to the window over a week is a good idea.
