It feels addicting already!

### Sunny commented on 2025-11-27

Congratulations!🎉 I never thought I would accumulate 200 plants in three years. I have no regrets. Plants make me happy and poor. 😆

#### Stasia\_plantmom replied on 2025-11-27

OMG where do you put them all!!

### Stasia\_plantmom commented on 2025-11-27

Y’all so here’s my thing! I don’t want my space to feel overcrowded. I’m super into design in my home.

Is anyone not afraid of mealy bugs, mites etc?!

#### Sunny replied on 2025-11-27

You will get pests, eventually, especially with indoor plants. You should be prepared to inspect and isolate all new plants 2-4 weeks. I proactively treat all my new purchases with insecticidal soap during the probationary period. I regularly inspect my plants. My plants are outside most of the year since I’m in zone 9, South Texas. The beneficial insects, lizards, tree frogs, and birds keep the plants mostly free of pests. 🪴🍀

I’m in North Texas! I don’t have my sprays yet so I have new plants on the house and haven’t done any treatment yet!
