- Let's chat about my houseplant pest prevention routine! Every houseplant collector should have a good pest prevention system in place to ensure that your plants are as happy and healthy as possible. In the same sentiment, you should always have a plan of attack for when pests infiltrate your hard work! I've linked below the products I used in this video & I hope the video is helpful to see them in action!

From what I understand peat moss is the less eco friendly option. Peat moss is mined from from the decomposing material below the sphagnum moss which requires drying out the top layer and actually kills the sphagnum moss. The decomp process takes over a thousand years so it's basically depleting a non renewable source. Meanwhile sphagnum moss is sold dry but it's still generally living which is why you sometimes see it reactivate and become green again when propagating. Sphagnum is much more of a renewable source as harvesting it doesn't destroy the plant like peat does. Sorry for the long comment but Harli did a video on this which prompted me to research further as I found it fascinating. That's actually when I started mixing my own soil (before ordering yours) to avoid using peat.
That kinda true but also kinda wrong
When spraying with sulfur for flat mites, remember to get the underside of the leaves as well. Those little suckers can hide anywhere, and the sooner they're gone the better.
For those with smaller collections, I mist my plants with a combination of water, dish soap, and peppermint oil to keep pest away 🤷♀️ I think it works!
I bought some microfiber gloves used for dusting and that’s how I clean my leaves. So easy to get front and back. I just spray the solution on my gloves.
You're right about dust attracting pests. Spider Mites use the dust to hide in. Sulphur in any form can cause leaves to become phytotoxic so should be applied at night to dry overnight in the same way as Neem Oil. The application rate should be 1 tablespoon per 500ml for thin leaf plants and 2 tablespoons per 500ml for thicker leaf plants.
Thank you so much for sharing about SNS209 and the sulfur. I just ordered some of each.
Thank you for sharing this helpful video. I always end up in my robe for deliveries as well, and it's hilarious. 😅 I'm glad I'm not alone.
Great info. I never knew there was a difference in the root systems in water propagation vs soil. Sharing...👍
I appreciate you sharing about SNS209. I started using it after watching one of your videos last fall and it seems to be doing a great job of keeping the pests at bay! I just ordered my second bottle.
Good informative video 😊
I prop in water(so I can monitor progress)then move to stratum mixed with chunky perlite before eventually transferring to soil
That’s a great system!
Just discovered some flat mites today on a Hoya. Went ahead and ordered the Sulphur product.
I’ve applied nemaknights brand nematodes for fungus gnats and thrips and it seems to be working very well! They’re just little encapsulated pellets that you put in wet soil and keep moist for a few days (you can put moist paper towel or sphag on top to help keep it moist). They’re just microscopic little wormy thingies that live in your soil and eat pests!
Thats what i use as well and LOVE it. So easy
this was such a helpful video, i think i need to treat my hoyas with sulfur too
I enjoyed this video a lot! I like the emphasis on preventative pest control as well as what to do if you have an acute pest problem. Would you ever use beneficial buggies if the need arose? I know it might be tricky considering you use a systemic regularly. As far as I know, I don't have any active (visible) pests or damage, so I'd love to continue to prevent prevent prevent.
This video is super useful! I'm wondering, do you treat spider mites the same as in the video you posted a while ago? Or have you changed it somehow?
thanks for sharing! now I'm wondering if I should be diluting my sulfur powder, eek! I just wear a mask and dust (or more like douse haha) all the leaves. It worked after one treatment too!
I struggle with knowing what's new damage and damage I missed when I bought the plant.. that's always been my struggle. Marks on new leaves is obvious... But even then I struggle finding the actual cause! Very frustrating. I have a magnifying glass but still don't find anything, I just blindly treat it!
But finding chewed up his on my leaves can make me hate my hobby choices! lol
Can we please have a minute of silence for the beloved (all dried up) pothos hanging off the window fence ? Love your videos
Lolol 😂 it has been like that for more than a year and I just leave it IDEK why hahaha
💚💚
I don't like when my leaves touch either, which is bad for me because I have a lot less space to put more plants 😭 any time my plants touch each other, I automatically think they're gonna get infested immediately
Can you put top dressing ( small rocks( onto the top soil to stop fungus gnats and also can the plant still grow ?
Thank you for showing how to use the sulfer. I was confused by the directions too. Do you spray the bottoms of the leaves as well?
Yes I try my best! Haha
Thank you so much for sharing this!! Question for you....Have you ever used Bonide Systemic Houseplant Insect Control Ready to Use Granules where you sprinkle it on top? Work it in your soil and then water? I just purchased some but haven't used it yet. I finally caved because I am so tired of spraying constantly with alcohol and getting q-tips out to tackle mealy bugs. It's never ending and I am ready to try something systemic to help me tackle the issue with my indoor succulent collection. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this one. Or if you have used it before. I know you said you like Bonide Products so just was wondering. Thank you in advance!
I've seen people sprinkle it on top of already potted plants and then incorporate it into the soil when repotting something new! You can do it both ways. I use a product called SNS209 for my systemic insect control, it's a liquid concentrate and I really enjoy it. But I've heard lots of great things about those granules so go for it and see how it goes! That's definitely something they use in the growing industry so it must be good.
@@BeccaDeLaPlants Thank you so much for your input! I appreciate it. Have a great day!

Sphagnum moss CAN be unsustainable. If they are harvesting from peat bogs, they’re harvesting the sphagnum moss on the top and the peat moss from underneath, which is the fossil product that takes like 1000 years to form. So taking all of the sphag from the top definitely disrupts the ecosystem, but it’s not as irreplaceable as the peat. There are also more sustainable ways of producing sphagnum moss, like propagating and farming it outside of an actual peat bog. So it’s worth it to investigate what the company producing sphag is doing, are they harvesting, how are they harvesting, or are they farming it like in a greenhouse? You can also buy your own LIVE sphagnum moss and grow it yourself, or if any of your sphagnum moss starts coming back to life and growing, you can propagate it from that in a closed container. If you need to buy live sphag you can often buy it from stores that specialize in carnivorous plants.
Is systemic safe for you to have on your fingers? I feel like spraying it would be safer for you but what do I know?
I noticed you have a water filter on your faucet. Do you filter your water when you water your plants, or do straight tap? I'm wondering because I have the same filter. I tried using the filtered water, but it took so long to fill the pitcher. So I get lazy and use the tap. Lol.
Hahah the filter is for us humans but I could totally use it for plants too! I feel like if I used it for plants I’d eventually get lazy too and just use the tap 😂
I need a Stanley.
You so do!
Do you water with the sns 209 at the same time you fertilize? Or do you split them into separate watering?
I use them together!
Extra floral nectar and spots like that for me mean spider mites 😢
Does that systemic work on aphids? I saw on their website it takes care of root aphids, but what about regular aphids? 😅 please & thank you!
If the product doesn’t specifically mention the pest you’re trying to eradicate I’ve heard it’s less effective or not effective at all - but definitely something to do further research into! I’ve had not as good as luck when I used a product (for example) for spider mites when it didn’t specifically mention spider mites. You can use SNS209 also as a foliar spray so it might help deter in that way? But I’d suggest maybe emailing Arbico Organics! They should be able to help you out.
@@BeccaDeLaPlants I emailed them. Thanks for the tip! They seemed pretty confident it works against mealeys, flat mites, & aphids. & then tried to sell me another product 😅 I’d reach out for a sponsorship if I were you 🙃 Bought it through your link 😉
What's the vargiated (hoya?) to the right around 13:25? Is it a verigated heart hoya?
I think variegated obovata
Yep obovata variegata splash!
My dogs heard your doorbell and barked incessantly. Had to yell "Shut it! It's just Becca's food arriving you dumb shits!"
Omg I’m so sorry 😂😂😂 I was going to change the doorbell sound to a different sound but forgot hahahah while I was editing my dogs also freaked out multiple times ughh
@@BeccaDeLaPlants Ha, no apologies needed. They are buttheads that will bark at falling leaf. I'm sure you can relate. 😆
Becca girlie…. The pothos on your fridge 😭😭 is she doing ok?
HAHAHA it’s very dead 😂
Your silly lol
