Spider mites? To the trash. Ant infestation because honeydew buggies? Graveyard. Fungus gnats? New soil. That didn’t work? To the trash. Critters give me the crawlies and I can’t sleep at night knowing they’re doing parkour 24/7. Anyone else?
I had a bad year in 2024 with thrips and gnats at the same time! Isolated my plants, salvaged what I could, watered minimally to try and starve the bugs. It worked, but I lost about half my plants in the process. I’m rebuilding now and having less issues, if that lends you some hope 💚 I think infestations can spiral, but your plants can bounce back!
