OMG u guys I'm literally so done with those pests in my plants rn
like I get it they're just trying to survive but not when they're sucking the life outta my poor ferns 
I swear if one more spider mite infests itself into my home I'm gonna lose it
and don't even get me started on the fungus gnats those little buggers are like the ultimate party crashers 
so yeah quarantine new plants for at least 3-4 weeks periodt
and seriously who invented diatomaceous earth anyway? genius or something?
I mean it's like, natural non-toxic and all that jazz but still gotta wear a mask when handling it lol like what even is up with that?
