Do you know what temp. I should be keeping my cucumeris mites at? My grow room gets a little cold at night. Starting my breeding today.

Amazing video! Thank you soooooo much!!

Hi Genna, if I place the container inside the greenhouse with high humidity (70%+), do I still need to have the bottom cotton pad layer to increase the humidity? I feel removing that wet layer will make maintenance much easier in the future.

I’ve been wanting to redo my 3 dart frog tanks, this was helpful. What brand of monster do you use? Thanks

Blessings ❤

Axel F!

I'm having difficulties finding a good way to deploy the cotton pads. Any recommendations? I do move the trays around which is good for the plants in my cabinet, but I have other plants that I want to spread the tiny heaven sent critters onto.

I have some begonias that I bought when they were in 2 inch pots. They started out green with a black star shaped pattern on them, but they kept getting darker and on the underside they are a dark shade of red.Now they almost look like black velvet.a couple of them are maroon and pale white.

i think i found one in my water bottle..

great info in the video and in the updates in the comments! appreciated. keep them coming.

Awesome update Genna! I took a break from my culture as manipulating pollen is making me very sick (I'm already at the height of my allergies right now). Do you think it would be possible to just take a plastic container, put a bunch of bran, maybe sprinkle it a bit of pollen (manipulating pollen once versus 10 times would be more manageable) and top it with cotton pads could work? Ideally I would keep this container in my high humidity tent. Any other insight on how to manipulate pollen less would be awesome 😷

thats actually so sick how is this not viral what the flip!?

Crested geckos are great, I have three of them. But I like gargoyle geckos better and have four of them. My H. Astrial 'Lisa' is one of my favs in my small hoya collection.

Mine always get soggy 😢

Is there also bugs you can bread against food moths? With the same technic?

Does any kind of yeast work?

Can i do this with multiple diffrent tipes of mites? And if yes can i keep them together?

BG looks amazing

Their names are sooo cool. Great video

Loved this one, Genna! What is the darker leaf above your chamaeranthemum? Also, do you have a video on your fogger setup or how you hold humidity? I want to turn my old crested gecko enclosure into a terrarium but I’m not 100% sure how to get my fogger on a timer (maybe just need a new one 🤔).

Love this video. Tank looks amazing! I’m in Australia and just about to start my second paludarium for some dainty tree frogs and we have some of the same inspo pics 😂 I will need more branches at the top due to dainties being arboreal. Great inspo!

The end result looks so good! Enjoyed seeing the process

I felt the struggle of removing broms and other guys in my soul. Great build, it will grow in really well. I have a prefeance for using small plants, like the miniature orchids in these builds as it keeps the scale. Enjoy these long videos!

😮 all my mellow die

Great shot haha

Wow! Nature never fails to impress

I would have laid the project on it's backside and done one panel at a time this will keep the pieces in place while drying and use push pins like hat pins to keep it stable.

Bonus pro tip: Mineral spirits are good for removing foam before it cures if you happen to, say, drop your phone in it.

Nice set up

But they fly into yo ears *exhales* *gnats fly to ear, eats my earwax*

Je kunt nooit genoeg monstera's hebben😊 super leuke video en ik kijk uit naar die van volgende week! Mijn naam is Inez en wiin in Nederland

2:06 Stratiolaelaps scimitus are also called 'Dutchy's' (or 'dutchies') by some bird fancier groups in Canada (Dutchy's is a brand in the Netherlands, and Canadian fancier groups often keep in touch with the Dutch groups). Scimitus is used not just in gardening or reptile enclosures, but also in bird rooms to deal with the mites that would otherwise drink the bird hatchlings to death.

I know this is for breeding mites lol but this helped me so much for my springtails. I have a springtail colony getting destroyed by mites and I’m trying to figure out how to separate the two. I’m going to try to attract the mites with pollen and see how that goes 🥲

Th as is a great light 💡

I wish i could find a way to extract them from nature and then grow them. I do not have access to the first sachet to seed the farm. They do not deliver these to where i am.

Hi Genna, thank you so so much for your detailed tutorial, it really helps a lot! Just a quick question, I wonder if it is possible to have both N.californicus and A.swirskii in one container? Or they have to be separated?

Such a great haul with unique plants!

Neoseiulis Californicus are growing on my radish leaf (eggs and mites) in my outdoor greenhouse after I hung (2) packets in the planter. They appear to have 6 legs and pale brown or pinkish which fits the description. They are not eating the leaf. I transferred several of these leaves to my garden tomato plants which have been plagued with spider mite infestations. Hope I did the right thing!

I spray anti lice on them recently, might use this method soon, thanks for sharing

Whew

cool, very interesting. Thank you

I am a collector and seller. i do self watering, use electric spears and so on, but I also have chronic illness and lately its been very challenging and its hard because I feel pressure to keeo bringing in new stock, but I do not have space and my health is suffering, so trying to find a balance.

Went to do culture maintenance today (one week in) and at least two of my 15 Petri dishes had thrips in them. Should I throw those out?? Or maybe buy more thrip-specific predators? I had bought a bottle with 2k mites: mixed species of persimilis, swarskii, and cucumeris. So there’s no way for me to tell now which species are thriving and which are gone.

Where did you get that teraium ? Sorry I spelled it wrong

I forgot to mention, small fast food drink lids work well to keep the bran in the cultures, just tape up straw hole.

Checked the cotton balls and they have lots of mites in them. I think this might work very well. Genna, I think you have created a monster with bug farming.

After my 1st order not having much life, I was going to have the order replaced, but I had changed my mind. I cancelled my order and got the refund confirmation, and the mites showed up the next day anyway. I super spiked my cultures and put more on my wife's plants. I looked today and have lots of mites inside the cotton rounds and actively crawling around in my containers. I put the mites in a 2x4 grow tent and put a swamp cooler in it. I am keeping humidity between 65 and 85% Going to put a humidifier in the tent soon to see if that works better. So far all is well in the mite village.

beautiful instructions thank so much
