HOUSEPLANT PROBLEMS | THRIPS | MEALYBUGS | POWDERY MILDEW | How to get rid of houseplant pests

Hey everyone! Here is my brutally honest video about the unfortunate events that are likely to occur (at some point) when you collect houseplants or have a large indoor plant collection. Pests are almost inevitable, especially as your houseplant collection grows. I think it is important to be honest about these things. I am not an expert on indoor plant pest management, but I do share what I am doing to get rid of mealy bugs, get rid of thrips, and to get rid of powdery mildew. Thrips are new to me and I have never had a thrips infestation in my houseplants, so please take my advice lightly. I do have more experience with killing mealy bugs, so I think my methods are relatively successful with that pest specifically. Also, not an expert on powdery mildew. That being said, I have been battling it on my begonias for a few months and I think I have learned some helpful tips on getting rid of powdery mildew. Collecting houseplants comes with its issues and none of us are perfect. Please keep this in mind when commenting. No need for rude or judgemental comments. We're all going through a lot and I don't think I am the only one having issues keeping up with all of my houseplants. I hope this video helps you get rid of indoor plant pests or at least normalizes these types of issues. Despite all of my plant issues right now, I still love my house plant collection and wouldn't change it for the world. No one ever said it was easy to have an indoor jungle. Be kind, stay safe, and take of yourself.
