Calatheas

Diatomaceous earth for calathea


Hello everyone,

I am wondering what everyone’s experiences are with using de for calathea. How do you use it? Is the fact that it has to stay dry a problem for moisture loving plants like calathea? Do you have any tips and tricks?

I’ve had a group of plants affected by spider mites and I am exhausted trying to stay on top of it!!

    I release predator mites to treat spider mites. It costs me about $70 (because shipping live insects is expensive) but it’s a one and done solution. I buy them from natural enemies. They send little satchets of mites that you hang around your plants. You just put them up, wait a month, and then throw the satchets away.
