Pest Management 101: Identify and Treat 5 Most Common Houseplant Pests

[@jackiewhitney5031]

Very informative and thank you for showing what those pests really look like. Beneficial insects are great but they can be very expensive as well long term. I just do the alcohol with the mealies and haven't had anything else in the last 40+ years of plant parenting.

You’re very very lucky! But come to think of it, when I just take care of my own plants, I never really had pest issue either 🤣 but once I opened the store / taking care of other people’s plants… I’ve seen everything

hilariously, despite having alocasia n stromanthe in my apt, the spidermite magnet is my basil. i think they really like the thin leaves and i cant put pesticide on it since i use it to make pesto 😭 thank you for the info! very helpful

Woah! I would def try Arber then since they are safe for consumption!

Last summer I got my first Hoya from a family member. It had no pests. However when I started buying more Hoya from box stores and several pothos I noticed they had flatmites. I bought a cheap wifi microscope and can’t see them but they damage new leaves and growth and you can actually see the chomp look on the leaves. I had to start treating them with a liquid sulfur spray and found I need to do that weekly and remove damaged leaves immediately. I try to keep my plants wo touching but some do now. Can you do a video on flatmites and show what the damage looks like and the various treatments? Thanks

Yasss those are such a pain because they’re invisible to the eyes 🥲 fortunately we haven’t gotten them in the store. I found this helpful blog that might help! anaturalcuriosity.org/flat-mites/
