why is houseplant reddit so insane about bugs. just let them do their thing dude...
#theyre like. every time you bring plants inside for the winter apply these 3000 pesticides#like brother just. dont do any pesticides. bugs are a natural part of plant ownership.#your pests will balance themselves. you are providing food for a tiny micro ecosystem.#legit the MOST i do is water + hydrogen peroxide for compressed soils and if fungus gnats get bad#but i only did that last year and nothing yet this year#and ive had a few spiders chilling up in corners or in the plants themselves#ive had a ladybug who ive seen twice a month apart so she's got something to hunt!#but yet ive only had to squish a mealybug or two#i get that like a lot of people are squicked or even triggered by bugs but. pesticides will make it worse than if you just leave it be.#you just gotta start personifying them. they're little guys! they do in fact have unique quirks and habits!#like man brother. centipedes do actually squick ME out but i still let them be when i transfered a monstera some months back
