Oh god! I hate HATE mealys!! They’re so sneaky and they hide where I can’t reach 😩😩 I just got through a thrips/mites infestation from everything waking up for the season and had a hard reminder that no matter how friendly people are, bugs are bugs and they don’t discriminate when it comes to plants 😫

Oh no! I’ve heard too many thrips horror stories! For real, if only these bugs could see how much love and care we put into our houseplants…only for them to view them as dinner 🫠

The bugs outside your window be peaking in like it’s a AYCE buffet 😵
