I think they might be aphids!

oh no!! I wasn’t sure because I don’t see any wings!

#### Meowmy antwoordde op 2024-05-31

You are right! I wasn't sure either 🥹 but your 10 year old palm tree is impressive, I respect your green thumb💗🌿 hope you can solve the issue soon!

#### planter2538 antwoordde op 2024-05-31

I hope so too!! Thanks!

They look like rollie-pollies (sp?) to me. I figured since it’s a 10 year old palm (amazing, btw!) it’s probably significantly thicker than it looks in the picture

#### planter2538 antwoordde op 2024-05-31

yes they do! that’s why I am so confused! My palm was outside for a bit years ago… The bugs are pretty large in person

#### Jules antwoordde op 2024-05-31

That’s wild!! I mean, where did freaking rollies come from??

#### Jules antwoordde op 2024-05-31

Have you repotted recently?

#### planter2538 antwoordde op 2024-05-31

not since last year!

Watch out what soil you buy! Never But Cheap soil Like Miracle-Gro i never use that stuff Cause it’s filled With aphids and Soil mites Broken Pieces of Glass and Large Chunks of wood!! Like humongous Chunks of wood! Never use it get Premium Soil if you don’t wanna have to pay later!

The soil from what i can see looks like good soil i see no weird chunks etc.

#### planter2538 antwoordde op 2024-05-31

its my normal soil! i wonder if the store I got it from had left it outside. Crazy because it was repotted last year

You can’t see the soul, though. I’m so glad you posted about buying generic soul! I am transitioning most of my plants to LECA, but will make sure to buy only premium soil for the ones that can’t be in LECA. Any brands you prefer for soil? Or do you buy a local mix?

#### LiamC antwoordde op 2024-06-29

I can see a little glimpse of the soil on the left That’s good enough for me

#### LiamC antwoordde op 2024-06-29

I buy GOOD soil just anything like potting mix that’s not miracle grow is good Miracle gro has good potting mix ye but i only buy miracle grow Palm Soil for my palm that’s it!
