I am absolutely DEVASTATED 😭💔 My 30-strong Calathea collection has somehow ended up with spider mites, thrips AND mealybugs. I honestly don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or move house at this point! 😂😭 I’ve now had to set up three separate quarantine zones — one in each of my bathrooms with the baths filled with three inches of water for humidity and another in the spare bedroom with a humidifier — and I’m literally changing my clothes in between going into each area to treat the different batches. I feel like I’m running a tiny high-security plant hospital! 🥲 The worst part is that my newest plants had been quarantined for four weeks. I checked them regularly and there were absolutely no obvious signs of pests. I genuinely thought they were clear and started introducing them to the collection. Then, about two weeks later, I started spotting signs… and now I seem to have pests showing up across the collection. 😭 I’ve got plants covered in different combinations of spider mites, thrips and mealybugs, and I’m currently trying to work out the best treatment routine without completely destroying the poor Calatheas in the process. I knew Calatheas could be dramatic, but I really didn’t expect them to form a tiny organised pest syndicate behind my back. 😂 Has anyone else survived a pest outbreak on a large Calathea collection? What actually worked for you? I would LOVE to hear your treatment routines, quarantine tips and success stories because right now I need some hope! 🌱😭
