You can check for mites by placing white paper under a plant’s leaf, tapping the leaf, then swiping your hand on the paper. Mites will leave little red smears on the paper.

[@LordanJauzon]

Mites fall off that easy!? 🤢🤢🤢

[@Sydneymm]

Maybe they meant tap the bottom of the leaf with the paper

[@rozalinkie]

If it's the hoya mites she's referring too (different to regular spidermites), those are extremely small and I think would be hard to see on paper

[@mikekufner1192]

@@LordanJauzon spider mites do! I kept feeling things crawling on me when I did my plant care but didn't see anything..i thought it was psychological! I had no idea they r that tiny! it took me a while before I realized they were spider mites! so disgusting 😪 😝 🧐 just glad I noticed before they started making webs but, there were plenty of the little bastards! Its funny now.. at the time it was really confusing tho!

[@wishingonthemoon1]

String of spades?! I didn’t know that was a thing! I didn’t reply my string of hearts after I bought it, and I didn’t know how root hound it was! So when I watered it, the roots basically trapped the water inside and rotted from the inside out. Never seen that before. But, it’s a string of hearts! I just chopped them and have them propagating. Barely lost any length. Yours a BEAutiful

[@brittanyfosberg1029]

I freaking ADORE my hoya serpens!! Those teeny tiny fuzzy new leaves are so stinking cute 🥺 Mine was a little smaller than yours when I bought it a year ago and I just repotted it into a 4 inch pot last month. In my own experience, I found that it really responds well to high light and high water. My ambient humidity in my house is anywhere from 30-60% depending on the time of year and it has been very adaptive. I treat it similarly to my hoya linearis and hoya bella, and it is covered in peduncles and new growth.

[@lisaanglim9588]

I enjoyed this video. You make it interesting. You’re funny too. 😊

[@smithmen]

fern, sorry if i missed it, but did you share an update about foliar fertilizer results on your hoya with the diluted fertilizer (in place of the miracle grow small bottle foliar spray)?

[@cassandraCC]

Nice video! Love the hoya serpens. I wouldn't repot it yet, keep fertilizing it, see how it goes. (The white part of the variegated plants- ref Florida beauty - tend to get brown because that part of the leaf doesn't photosynthesize so the plant will stop feeding it sooner or later. )

They DID leave the 2 dwarf lemon trees I planted which were about 14ft tall so, that was nice :) I know, I shouldn't complain because it's not my house anymore but why would someone destroy landscaping?

Hey!! Yes here in Victoria we have really great water quality, luckily! I usually use it for my more fussy plants (terrarium begonia, etc) and sometimes for all of them.

You might be OK leaving plants out except on cold or frosty nights. I'm in NC and leave my cacti and succulents on the porch year round except when it's going to be really cold, and you'd probably be fine to leave yours outside except on nights when it's too cold. Anything you do bring inside, I would isolate from any houseplants and/or spray with a pesticide in case of bugs.
