A Calathea sister through and through, Julia’s leaves are as fuzzy as your furball’s and dance with the rising and setting of the sun. It’s the reason why some people call her a prayer plant! Julia’s leaves can grow upright in a stunning spectrum of colours and if you’re really lucky she’ll happily show off her purple-hued underbelly. This being said, Calathea plants can be a tricky bunch and not exactly beginner friendly! We recommend: bright, indirect light, moist and well-draining soil, as well as filtering her h2o prior to watering days. High maintenance? Maybe. But trust us when we say that she’s oh-so worth it!

Fungus gnats look fairly similar to fruit flies and are easily mistaken as such.

They’re really only there for sucking the sweet juices out of your plant, and leave behind a sticky-icky residue which can attract other insects. Aphid fact you didn’t know you were missing: when aphid populations get too crowded, some will grow wings and relocate to a new plant. So how does one treat aphids, you may ask? We recommend bringing your plant outside and spraying it down with a hose to physically eliminate the pests. As a precaution, you can also use an insecticidal soap to really get rid of aphids - just follow the formula on the bottle! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrips:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThrips are less common creepy crawlers, but they do really love to hang out and around indoor tropical houseplants… They spread quickly and efficiently, which is why we always recommend examining new plants for pests before introducing them to the plants in your home. Thrips attack your plant by puncturing the foliage and creating a light discoloration on your leaves. The best course of treatment with these long legged pests is an insecticidal soap, blue sticky traps (they love the colour blue), or Thrips Predators (spooky right?!). Another remedy you can try is a solution of soft yellow soap (20g per litre of water) and 10ml of spirit or methanol. Spray this solution over your plant several times a week until the pests have disappeared.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMealy Bugs: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMealy bugs are a nasty pest that can show up on just about any houseplant. The mealybug got its name from the white, wooly secretion that the females produce. If you see white, woolly balls or dots on your houseplant, this is often a sign that your green amigo has been infected with mealy bugs. The texture appears on your plant as white fluff and the bugs themselves are white with stripes down their back and tiny white legs. Unfortunately, this pest is very difficult to combat as it can withstand temperature of -40°C, but that’s not to say they are impossible to control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThere are a few tricks you can use to get rid of mealybugs. First, try to spray the bugs with water. The bugs are relatively large, so you can easily check whether they have all been removed from the plant (just make sure to check the plant after a few days to see if any new eggs have hatched). Another way to get rid of mealybugs is to touch the mealybug with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. This should be done every day until the bugs and their white secretion have disappeared. If none of these tricks work, chemical pesticides are also a remaining option.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpider Mites:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSpider mites are a distant cousin of the spider. But unlike their cousins, spider mites are very hard to see with the naked eye. Because of this, it can be hard to tell if your plant has a spider mite infestation until they have damaged your plant. Fortunately, most plants do not end up dying from spider mite infestations and this disease can be fairly easy to control. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHow, you may ask? First check the underside of the leaves. If the spider mite infestation is not too large, remove the infected leaves, taking care not to infect the healthier ones. It can also help to spray your plants with cold water. A good solution is to add 2% hand soap and 1% spirit to a water sprayer filled with water, which you can then spray over your plant. The spider mite can reproduce extremely quickly, so it is also very important that any spider mite eggs are also sprayed and removed from the leaves. Spray and check your plant's leaves several times a week until the disease is gone. If none of this works, look for a biological pesticide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAs you can see by now, plant pests are NO joke.

Days are getting shorter, you’re seeing pumpkin spice with EVERYTHING, and (most importantly) you’re probably spending much more time at home with your plants. In this article, we’ll be digging deeper into our top houseplant tips for fall and how best to care for your amigos when the sunnies come off and the reading socks come on. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSeasonal change can have drastic effects on your mood, health, and overall well-being. Same goes for your plants. If you’re reaching for your puffer and the extra cozy duvet - you best believe your green amigos are feeling the seasonal fluctuations as well. Here are some easy tricks for ensuring the happiness of your tropical plants in fall. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOptimize Your Space:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFall is here and that means it’s time to bring your plants indoors and group them together based on their specific needs. Cooler months can mean drafty windows or heating vents so be cautious of this and ensure your indoor plants are kept at least a few feet away. One of our favourite care tips is to organize plants by their light\/watering needs, which will keep your amigos happy and healthy and also simplify your care routine. Move light-loving plants closer to the window, if possible, or get a grow lamp! Lastly, before moving your plants indoors, spray them down with a hose or in your shower. This will prevent any outdoor pests from traveling into your home. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater Less:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe more light your plant gets, the more you need to water it. The same works in reverse! When the days are shorter and there’s less light, your plants will require less water as well. Autumn marks the beginning of hibernation for most of your green amigos, and as temperatures cool, your plants should cut back on the drinks (hey, more for you!). Something to always consider when watering your plants is the temperature of the water (room temperature or lukewarm is best) and filtration. One trick for filtering your water naturally is to leave it out for 24 hours before watering!
