#i think some of mum's begonias are copping the mites too (not from my white princess)

[lovelieves]

got the most stunning white princess in the mail yesterday, along with a billietiae (he biiiiiiig, like, i did not realise i was getting a massive plant w the billie, i'm not a big person but some of the leaves are bigger than my arm)

that said... i think my white princess came infested w spider mites. ;o; it's a beautiful, big plant, but pretty sure i'm going to have to deep clean this thing... little brown dots all over the leaves, and there's definitely some webbing...

#i think i've had some spider mites on my plants before this #but all my kids have just been pretty resilient so i've never worried - they've caused no harm #but the white princess? she still seems healthy but i can't allow it to go further #might have to quarantine her on the literal other side of the house #i think some of mum's begonias are copping the mites too (not from my white princess) #but yeah. probably time for cleaning. #in cool news - my silver dollar vine growing 'in a week' probably was not an exaggeration #bc in the days since i got it the new vine is now taller than the original
