Anyone know what these bugs are? On my 10 year old palm tree. Circled in red.

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

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!

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?
