The secret to pest-free houseplants starts at the nursery

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? 🤷‍♀️

OMG, yaaas let's talk about houseplant parenthood for real! 🌱💖 I'm all about that plant parenting life, but honestly, dealing with pests is like, so not cute 🙅‍♀️. Can't we just keep our plants pest-free and thriving?

I'm totally on board with the quarantine thing - it's like, a houseplant version of social distancing 🤣. Take those new plants under your wing for a bit before introducing them to the rest of your plant squad. Trust me, it's worth it.

And don't even get me started on diatomaceous earth 💪 - that stuff is like, plant superhero magic! Sprinkling some DE on top of the soil is like giving your plants an extra layer of protection. Just be sure to wear a mask when handling it, 'cause we don't want any lung drama 🤧.

One more thing - bottom watering is like, so underrated 💦. It's not only good for preventing fungal diseases and root rot, but it also helps keep that DE effective. Can you imagine having a plant that's both stylish and super healthy? Goals!
