I am having my first ever thrips outbreak. It's never a good time but I'm also dealing with a potentialmhealth crisis and need tomdeal with this quickly and effectively. I've sprayed them with my Castile soap/alcohol/peroxide/water spray and plan to add systemic granules so that they will be controlled with minimal follow-up hands on care in the vent I'm laid up. They are indoors and will not endanger polinators

I have over 170 house plants. It started with a zebrina. And I believe it's spread. I don't see any live bugs anywhere but I am seeing some damage on other plants. I am overwhelmed.

Many of my hoyas are in semi hydro. They are planted in tree fern fiber and perlite with wichs into their reservoirs. Can I add the granules to the medium like I would soil?

Thanks for your guidance. Pic for tax

Any idea what this is? It doesn't wipe off. And the newest leaf are deformed. I took it out and sprayed it with my spray (Castile soap, alcohol, water and peroxide). It gets good light from a sansi growlight and is a north facing window

I posted pics of my happy zebrina and received a message saying to check for thrips 😩 she included a link and the curled leaf tips and silvering and dimpling seem to fit. I see nothing on her neighbors. I soaked her in my plant spray solution (Castile soaps, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and water and sprayed surrounding plants just in case.

I am super strict about quarentiing any new plants that I bring into the house and haven't added anything near her. The only new plants have Ben a few hoyas from a gal I regularly purchase from with zero issure: and I quarantine anyways. I don't know how the little bastards could have gotten in!

Would you all agree that this looks like thrip damage? I am hoping she's just root bound and dry but I fear the worst!

She gets good light from south west windows and barina grow lights. Planted in a very well draining chunky mix. I bottom water and fertilize with MSU fertilizer.

My ruby necklace is in my brightest room facing south south west. I supplement with powerful growlights because I'm in the PNaw and I live in the woods. It's rainy today and she's getting 1600 FC in front where you see the bloom and 1130 FC on top. She seems happy enough but I am not getting the deep purple I had hoped for. Is that just unrealistic in these conditions?

I love this plant. She's giving me some little blooms right now. She seems to like the combo of crawling on the shelf and trailing. I have tons of full propagations because I bottom water and every time I take her down she sheds a few pieces that I just can't toss 😂. My niece is getting a nice full plant plus I have more. 🤪

My Nanouk is a crispy critter and makes me nuts! She's full and lush but crispy brown bits despite careful bottom watering. I just repotted her in a bigger pot as she was quite root bound and hope she will be happier. I bought a tiny fan and use it after watering in the event of guttation to make sure her leaves stay dry. We'll see if she's any happier in the coming months.

I decided to upsize her pot and keep all her babies with her. She was looking pretty root bound and needed more frequent watering. She's been leaning as well so I added a skewertoprop her up a bit in hopes she'll straighten out some. This is my first pilea and I can't believe how much she's grown and how many babies she has! Hopefully she won't be too put out about the move!

First 3 pics are after the re-pot. Last several are before.

I'm re-rooting my Khroniana silver and was checking my prop box today. When I opened it I was greeted with a very strong floral scent. It's been blooming while trying to root up. Just like my multiflora. Crazy hoyas!

I’m rerooting my multiflora and it decided to bloom and set another peduncle while in the prop box. It has some roots, but not quite enough to pot up yet, but its well on its way. 😊 The necter is very sweet!

I have just learned there is a thing called red blotch but don't know much about it. Unfortunately I know it's bad. I know it spreads. And I stuck all my bulbs in a long planter to grow outside over the summer. 😫🤦🏽‍♀️

Here are some pics. If it is red blotch should I toss them all? Or can I separate them and treat them?

Hello. I live in the Pacific Northwest and was gifted a small cutting of a dragonfruit from my nephew in southern California. I don't believe it can grow outside here and have zero interest in growing it for fruit. It's grown a lot and I propped a piece already into the same pot. I am wondering if it can be grown successfully as a houseplant. I have pics of it here. You can see the aerial roots. I did try a wooden treleaf trellis but, frankly, it looked kind of pitiful and never really gripped it. It actually looks more robust and thicker since moving it to this pot. It's in a gritty cactus mix and under a barina growlights.

I was also gifted 4 tiny starts from my brother in law and a baggie of seeds. I now have a bunch of seeds sprouting. 😂

Can these be potted together and grown as a trailing houseplant? If so how many to an 8 inch pot?

Thanks for educating me. I didn't seek these guys out but it seems I have them and I'd like to take care of them. 😊

My first blooms on my Hoya Bella. Unfortunately I can't detect any scent. I've checked both morning, mid-day and evening. Is this typical?

I took the advice given when I posted pics of my aeonium kiwi and chopped and upotted it. It took incredibly well and I think she looks fabulous. I've included link to original post.

I posted about my Crimson Queen and her gorgeous colors the other day. Today I took her down to water her and got a better look. Alas, no peduncles yet. She has a few vines with all new growth being cream or pink but at least one leaf with some green. But she has one fairly long vine that is entirely cream with some pink hues. So far she's hanging onto all of them and it's been several months.

What causes them to do this so dramatically. She didn't have all of this when I bought her.

I found her first peduncle when I was watering her today. I love her color.

I've had this guy for about a year and it's not grown much at all. It's in a chunky soil mix. Gets good light from a sansi grow light. I fertilize nwith MSU fertilizer and CalMag, bottom watering. It seems healthy, just slow.

Is this normal? Anything I should be doing? Root in a slightly larger pot? Thanks for any suggestions.

My Crimson Queen is stunning in her pink and cream glory. So far this vine as been going strong for several months.
