Everybody’s thirsty but not everyone gets top watered. Through trial and error and a lot of experimentations I’ve figured out my own plants and their preferences. It won’t work for everybody else. Some want to sit in a tray of water for a few days, some want a light sip. I’m sure life would be easier with a semi hydro set up but for now this works and I enjoy it even if it seems like an insane hassle to some.

How can you tell when your plants are getting too much light? Super washed out leaves trying to face away from the light are an excellent indicator! 🫠 I’ll be moving it to a better spot with good light but not quite so much. Stress is stress! This will usually stunt growth.

These are Barrina T5s and my plants are fairly close. Great for sunstressing but unpleasant for the ones who prefer lower light like this poor little guy.

Pt. 3 beneficial bugs release!

I forgot to include the whole other container in my last video about releasing the lacewing larvae. Since these are in a substrate that is compatible with mine, I release them right on top and work it into my soil mix. I find that releasing these with lacewing larva together with Stratioforce mites works well because they go into your substrate and the lacewings patrol the leaves. I never release lacewings with other mites like Californicus because the lacewing will eat them and basically eat your money. 🫠🤣

Pt. 2! So you have beneficial, now what? I use cupcake liners and bug release boxes from my friend Chef over at Nova Botanical who sells them on Palmstreet! I only release lacewing larva into my enclosed spaces like the small cabinet that I am demonstrating in because I can’t handle seeing them crawling around my house… even if they probably won’t 💀

Unboxing my beneficial insects order from DMV Beneficials (not sponsored whatsoever! I’ve been using them for two years with great success). Trying my hand at longer form reels even though I fear the cringe and putting myself out there 🙈

Nobody hates plant mail more than my kid. She doesn’t even have to do plant chores, the shade is so unnecessary.

It can’t hurt to try. 🤷‍♀️ Check my purges, long auctions, or catch me live if you want to test theory on Palmstreet!
