Spoiler alert.
Every single plant I have is fake ????
I do not understand (nor care to) why some people are so pressed about me buying new plants every time I may unalive one.
Like people were SO SHOCKED that I actually showed d e a d plants on my channel and then had the audacity to get ANOTHER one ????.
They truly acted like I got rid of my human baby and bought another baby.
Anyone who judges someone for k i l l i n g plants has clearly never owned any because trial and error is the name of the game! You take each plant as its own learning experience to see what went wrong and what you can tweak in your environment the next time.
But true unpopular opinion: I like Calatheas ????.
I find their foliage SO pretty, but they do require a little more high maintenance care especially because spider mites love them.
The bright side? Even if you chop them all down to soil level, they will spring back up!
I’ve also been using diatomaceous earth consistently on all my plants in place of systemic granules because it’s all natural, food grade, and safe around my family.
The mask is not because it’s dangerous, but because the particles are very fine and just shouldn’t be breathed in ????.
I’ve always done this, but I’ve gotten enough comments where I felt I needed to SHOW myself wearing a mask to prove I use one.
Who else is Team NORMALIZE BUYING NEW PLANTS FOR WHATEVER THE REASON? ????????♀️
Here’s the full process on how I treated them: youtu.be/18_h8cTZq4w (on my channel)
❏PEST TREATMENT & PREVENTION ❏
➥ Ingredients for my DIY Insecticidal Soap: amzn.to/3tnJu49
➥ Diatomaceous Earth from Bios Nutrients (Code: MICHELLE20): bit.ly/3QN5NZc
➥ Digital Microscope: amzn.to/4bnJSkJ
❏ WHERE I GET PLANTS ❏
➥ BWH Plant Co (Code: MICHELLE10): bit.ly/3sNpQip
Quality matters when it comes to DE and the one I get from Bios is food grade and natural.
It can also be watered into the soil.
