My Worst Plant AND HATERS

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Full version on spider mite treatment is up on my KZbin. The insecticidal soap, microscope, and “replacement” plants are linked in the description 🕸️🔬🌵. Hope eveyone has a mitey fine day!

[@Just_Deven]

It's not replacing living things it's just filling a gap after something you love passes on. Like getting a new pet when your other crosses the rainbow bridge. Bringing something that needs a home into a loving environment is a good thing.

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Love your perspective!

[@BigNoe-u7u]

I appreciate that you show the dead plants bc as a newbie battling crispy leaves it encourages me to not give up on my plant babies 💖

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Welcome to the crispy leaf club. It’s a big club! Hahaha

[@Kallelinski]

Calatheas are beauties, but god-damn they are a pain to take care of.

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

lol 💯

[@trishnadas4492]

Now Calatheas are an absolute horror of a plant parent and ofc I am paranoid to buy one after your "spider mite magnet video " but still craving for one.Should I give it a try ? 😂

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

100% and make sure to get backups while you’re at it 😂

[@trishnadas4492]

Thanks for the suggestions ❤😂

[@stephanieg8539]

You were very kind to blur out their name 😂 it's a weird outlook on house plants and said in a very bossy tone 😂

Yea! I don’t go around people’s houses going 🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵

[@SereneStudio]

People stay clowning on the internet. 🤣 With all the love and attention you give your plants I volunteer to be the next replacement for a living thing! 🤣 Happy the mites are gone but man those leaves were crisssspaaaay 🤣

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

LOL CRISPAAAAAY

“I washed this plant more than I washed my hair.” Statement of the yr lol 😂 💚

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

It’s 100% the truth 😂

[@SecretCollage]

Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one with that plant. I tried saving it for MONTHS. It kept getting more bugs on it than. My other plants are ALLLLLL finnnneeeeee. Just that one! Had to rid of it, it was far from giving me joy.

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Its leaves are SOOOOO DELICATE. Basically translucent!

[@brikhouse22]

" do not mormalize replacing living things". Wut? 😂😂😂

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Literally…..like boy you tried it. It’s a PLANT.

[@louiZiana-Gurl]

I’m always using magnifying glasses when looking at my plants lol

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

HAHA you get me!

[@capricorn_menace]

i'd suggest using a respirator around fine particles! surgical masks do provide some protection ofc but they leave gaps in the face. well-fitting respirators fit snug against your face. you can get disposable KN95s, KF94s, or N95s. amazon has a counterfeit problem but industrial safety sites typically have them!

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Thank you! That is definitely a more effective way when working with DE!

[@capricorn_menace]

@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow ofc! love your content

[@kimabeno]

Isn't neem oil a preventative? I tried neem oil & DE for 3 months straight on a pest infestation & they just kept coming back. After some research, both are really good preventatives except they're practically useless once infested. Especially DE since it only works when dry😅

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Neem actively killed all the mites. It’s completely mite free now. Correct that DE only works when wet. You can do a wet application on leaves or soil and then once it dries, it regains its properties

[@kimabeno]

@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow Thank you friend☺️I'll try the DE misting method.

[@orchidquest]

Can you talk more about the pros and cons of diatomaceous earth and why you side with using it?

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

The DE I use is natural, sustainable, and safe around pets, children, and wildlife so you can wash down the drain (just don’t breathe in the particles when applying). It doesn’t mess with the microbiome of the soil and will dehydrate pests by piercing their exoskeleton. If you have a really really bad infestation, it’s best to leave the DE on the leaves for a few days BUT you need to go trough the extra step of cleaning it off once the infestation is gone.

Dude this wholllllllle process with all your plants is BRUTAL. I’d get rid of them only to find them in another room in a new plant. Saying my prayers that they are gone for good!

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Haha thank you!! Mites are GONE
