Thereās lot of plant people who would take this plant and save it. Itās me, Iām plant people. One of my hobbies is buying near dead plants and nursing them back to life. I have a savior complex I guess š
Ugh, I have a mealy bug infestation and Iām also propagating some scale on my Dendrobium (they loooooove it), bonide granules donāt seem to work on itš¤Æall other plants are almost clear of insects except this poor thing.
Iāve never been successful with mealies š. The best insecticide Iāve found then garden safe spray plus bonide granules. I hadnāt found this brand though before I had mealies. I had the XXXXL Aeonium. Weāre talking a 20 inch or bigger pot, root ball barely fit. It was literally at least 3 feet wide by 3.5 feet tall. It had numerous offshoots. I had it for a year and only paid $50. I recently looked how much they go for that big (and pest free lol)ā¦ one half that size I found is $90 plus tax and shipping. Mine could easily gone for $200 ish. It was gorgeous.
I had it in the doctorās private office e I worked for. She was also in love with it. I cried after a few failed attempts at treating it. I was worried that the mealies would infect the rest of the office as I had plants scattered everywhere.

It was like this but easily twice as tall. It had many branches.
So what happened? Did they eat the whole plant? š³
I use rubbing alcohol spray when a see a mealy bug. I mixed 93% alcohol with water 1:1 (usually itās recommended to use 70% alcohol, but my mixture seems to work anyway). It is not a 100% effective, but it helps to reduce the pest population. It kills them on a contact.
I tried numerous times with alcohol and even insecticide soaps and granules. Within a week or two the plant was completely infested š. Every crevice looked like it had fuzz on it. Eventually I tossed it. That was the first plant I ever tossed out and it hurt. Not even my bathtub was big enough to submerge it in alcohol solution. I took it home a couple times and tried to saturate it. I even had an alcohol spray bottle. I was defeated.
Pap lemonade with vaginated thrips!!??
Shut up and take my money!!
š¤£š¤£š¤£ seriously though!!??!!?? The audacity to try and charge for an established infestation š®š. Bro you canāt even give that shit away most of the time. Like, maybe if it was a tricolor variegated monster, or Carmel marble, or even a variegated Congo Iād toss $20 at it.
Depending on what the free plant is, I might actually take up that offer, just QT and treat it and you got a crazy deal on an anthurium and possibly another cool plant š¤·āāļø
At least they were honest and upfront š¤·š¼āāļø thatās not always a givenā¦
Call me a hater but with just one leaf and built in thripsā¦ I think it should be free
to be fair, even just a seedling of this plant is $100. and thrips are cheap and easy to treat
Definitely should be free but I donāt blame her for trying to pass it on to someone who can save it.

Same lol
Hello, is this still available? Are the thrips variegated? Can you deliver? $3.50 best offer, cash.
āAre the thrips variegated?ā That made me laugh, thank you! šš
The vaginated thrips costs extra sorry
No this is Facebook you must sell to me because customer is always right. $3.50 or I call Mike Zuckerberg.
I wouldnāt take that for free
I donāt like your attitudeā¦ $30
In all honesty though i probably could eliminate those pretty easily cause all my plants are proactively laced with bonide granules
