Loving all the Harli content lately! Appreciate how real you are and showing all the things all us plant people do and normalising being a chaotic plant mum! 😂
My kitchen counters look like your bathroom counter...same reasons. I'm easily distracted, bounce from thing to thing, forgetful...a bit of a relief to see I'm not alone
Harli I just love when you do these kind of videos. I love to see you all over the place. Keeps my interest up not knowing what’s next. Cut yourself some slack. You have two little boys and it’s a wonder you can do so much. Can’t wait to see the next video with your thrifty haul.
Thank f#ck it's not just me. Sometimes in my bathroom there is no sink free to brush my teeth, and I have 2 sinks. I also have a shelf of shame, and a bench of shame too. Love your real content. I'm here for ALL of it ❤
I have a bit of MB problem on a few Hoya, and they keep coming back and even after alcohol spraying....now I've added the Dawn to the mix and hopefully it will work at keeping these bastards away from the rest of the collection! Good luck Harli, and thanks for the post!
This is what I do. I use alcohol and a q-tip. Clean the spots. Then change the soil and put it in a different pot. Keep it away from other plants. Put the old soil in the trash. You can wash the pot. Try it.
I also think that MB look cute!! 😁😍 Please try this with your hoya: clean it from the soil, shower the whole plant and spray it with neem oil/water or babyoil/water and then rinse the plant again. Then pot it in semi hydro self made PON or ready to use pon/LECA and wait. I think you can win!! 💚🌿
I used Captain Jacks on my Hindu Rope that was infested with Mealy bugs. I flipped the plant upside down in a bucket of the solution for 30 minutes, removed all soil and repotted. She is doing beautifully a year later. 💝💖💞🤗🤗🤗
OMG! This video makes me feel soooo much better! I just got new shelving for my kitchen plants, and a new ladder shelf desk for my living room that also has plants because my plant shelf died! I have plants & plants stuff EVERYWHERE! I do the same exact thing; something is left somewhere to remind me to “Just Do It!”.
So here for this! 🤣😍 I imagine this is what it's like for my fam to watch me and look at my plant clutter. More vids like this anytime! The sarcasm is on point 🫶🏻
Gotta say I absolutely love your chaotic energy. Very glad you were my introduction to the planty community. No matter the content, your videos are always a lot of fun. You're the only one I've binged more than once. And those tree tier planters are so cute! Thank you so much for the effort you put into your members. ❤
I’ve had mealy bugs that were unaffected by systemic pesticide. I finally got rid of them by physically removing every mealy bug and then treating with neem.
I just found my first mealy bug ever after over 2 years of a large collection. It was on my newest addition orchid. I was absolutely terrified! And scared they would spread to all my plants. I literally un potted it, soaked it in a alcohol bath, and shook it in a bag of DE. Haven’t seen once since. 😅😅 far far away from others.
Do not give up, I get it! Step 1: spray with mealy bug pesticide , allow to dry. Step 2: run 50/50 hydrogen peroxide/ water mixture through soil, allow to thoroughly dry, maybe until the plant is dropping. Step 3: cover in DE (tips and bottoms of leaves, and top of soil) and allow to sit for the entire drying process . The way I view it is if my plants are on their way out due to bugs, a severe treatment is necessary . Doing this process saved my entire plant room, minus two plants 😊 my miniature roses took the worst hit
Hey! I have 2 alocasia stubs like that! Not dead but also just "stubbing". Word of the day. Stubbing::to be a stub. I have jugs of water, pots, scissors, water saucers forbottom watering....all sitting everywhere. Kitchen table, dining room, tv stand. Yep. Ur not alone girl. 🤣🤣 plus i keep thrifting an finding more pots an cute prop containers that keep filling my dining room. Y? Cuz i dnt have my greenhouse yet. Thats wat i keep having to tell my husband. Lol
My favorite random plant thing in my house is the stool sample collector bowl (unused!!) that sits on my kitchen counter because I bottom water my plants with it 😂 we all have shameful plant things
I use Sevin outdoor spray for the tough mealies.... I dilute with water and spray it outside (when its warm) for colder months I used alcohol/ water spray the crap out of plant and soil, then spray with shower to flush soil.....good luck
I felt this video's title deep in my soul 😅 I've been being bullied by mealys for the past few months. The "infestation" is under control and then I turn around an a new plant in a completely different room is covered 😮💨😮💨
OMG!!! Your white pot I just got delivered to me today from Walmart in the beautiful green! I have been plotting putting a ponytail palm in mine as a bonsai. I have had 2 bags of bonsai soil bags shipped to me three weeks ago and now the pot and no plant lmao. I think we all are project plotting and God knows when I'll get the actual palm since we still got snow and I haven't ordered the top dressing off of Amazon yet lol. Your pots is too die for!~
I love watching plant chores and chatty vids while doing my evening routine, and while I was watching this my partner said ‘oh hey is that Harli? She had a haircut’ ☺️😁
My krimson queen didn't survive a mealy bug situation. I was devastated. I love Hoyas, and they haven't been easy for me. Beyond that, your hair looks adorable.
Harli you are not the only one who has some plants that need care and are just left until we can get around to them. TBH I truly believe that willful neglect is how some of them thrive. How many rooms does your plant babies exist in? Just curious.
I loved this video! It felt like facetiming a friend and just gushing over plants lol. Watching your videos makes me wanna start my own planty channel but I'm scured lol. You're stronger than me with that polyneura, I would've burned it at this point and bought a new one lol. Mealy bugs remind me of like tiny creepy rolly pollies.
Plant shelf of shame 😂 can totally relate. I have a shelf outside that I’ve been staring at knowing I need to water them… every day I look at my plants and say ‘I’m going to deal with you later’… why do we do this to ourselves?
Harli you are so adorable and real to watch. Your love of plants is contagious. Love that you are so entertaining as well. Enjoy all your content on your videos.
I have thrips for almost a year now. Ive lost most of the fun ive had with my plants dealing with pests. Also my Adhd can relate to your cluttery, taking on way to much and then being overwhelmed.
Omg Harli!!! I ❤ you… you are the epitome of me hahaha 😂. Idk if that’s a good thing or bad thing!!! But, I have fun and it looks like you do too hehee he😅
I fought mealies on a pearls and jade pothos for 6 months and ended up trashing the HUGE plant. I tried everything. I deported it, washed off all the soil and BLEACHED it (well, diluted bleach). Soaked it for 10 minutes in 1:9 bleach:water. Still had mealies. Hate pests. Stayed till the end and loved every minute. You totally just influenced me to get a foxtail fern….
Isn't it amazing how many pots we collect waiting for a plant that fits! And then we get into self watering pots and more than tripple the number of unused pots!!!!
Love hang out videos!💗 I just wrote a sea scroll of a comment. No idea where it went 😱. Basically, a friend was melting down over pests and was tearing down everything that MEALIES and spider mites were on. I met her neighbor at the condo complex dumpster and she mixed up two sprayers of Liquidirt pest spray. It's on TH-cam and explains what each ingredient does. It was late January and her plants are still pest free. Hoya growing beautifully. Aroids not sticking. AWESOME!🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🎉🎉🎉
Ohh girl I have loved kind of dunking and even leaving a plant in water and hydrogen peroxide .. makes the little mealys float up Its incredible how many are hiding inside the plant
Love this real content. Appreciate how real you are being. Also, I threw out my variegated Hindu rope because of a mealy bug infestation so I understand. 😭
You have to unpot it and go through strand by strand. My micans was INFESTED when I bought it from Lowe’s and I didn’t inspect it before I bought it 🤦🏻♀️It was a big plant too and that’s what I did and I never had another issue. I just rinsed each stem with water nothing else. I’ve had it for like 2 years now
@@monkeythinksheiscool haha right? i'm just having the most horrific mealybug apocalypse atm affecting more than 30 of my plants. i already threw out the initial infected plants but it has been over 5 months & they're just relentless. tried soapy water spray yet nothing. organic pesticides, no change. neem oil is just a scam & i sadly moved on to harsher chemicals. i'm running out of options to kill the bugs while keeping my leaves from scarring or yellowing🥲😢
Well, if you're going to get bugs Mealy's are the best. They're super easy to see and get rid of. Mealy's are so easy to see, anytime I saw them I'd shower the plant, and then if I saw a start up - hit them with a q-tip of alcohol and have never seen them again. They're probably hiding in the crevasses and top soil? I find Thrips to be a total nightmare!!!
I have found that "drowning" your plants that have mealybugs helps. Fill you tub with dish soap and water and submerge the plant and pot in water for 5 mins and then let it dry out really good
Omg! I never heard of that before! I've only heard of hosing them down or spraying them with soapy water/pesticides. Is this safe for cactus and succulents?
@@shantellekurtz5423 Oh I see & I'm guessing this only works on watering days right? & what if you don't have a tampon on you? Any alternatives or let it drain naturally?
@@kimabeno ya I would probably do it when the plants dry to help with the overwatering. But yes if no tampon is available. Just air dry or point a fan at it
You ain't alone. I've been dealing with mealies since about September too. I neve ruse systemic and I've treated like 3 times, and still finding more 🤷🏼♀️
I had mealy bugs on some of my succulent collection. I didn’t toss them because most of them has sentimental value to me. Soooo, a friend of mine suggested unpot them and to use diluted rubbing alcohol to wash the plant. Also, added systemic granules when I planted them to a new soil mix. Someone also told me mealies love coco chips, my old media for succulents was coco coir and perlite. I think since it’s a “coco” that probably mealies keep attacking my succulents? But idk.
Omg, i seen that exact same white bowl planter at walmart and needed it! So freakin cute! Worth the money for it! I honestly thought it was cheap for how freakin cute it was.
Always enjoy your content! I have a problem and I was wondering if you have ever covered it, how do you deal with a thrip outbreak in your plants? 😭 32 weeks pregnant and just sick of dealing with pests this winter 🤣 Just threw out 2 larger "expendable " plants yesterday to get frozen on my frozen deck since i had replacements for them. I've got about 65 upstairs plants and my husband just hates having to spray down my large plants that have thrips/ larva with insecticide, which we've done at least 4 times and I keep finding thrips after a week. (He's so sweet, I just don't want to get too much exposure to insecticide being pregnant) How do you even deal? 🤣 Have you covered this topic before? Please help lol!
I would take a Rubbermaid tub container and fill the tub with warm water and work a peroxide ration to the amount of water gal. into the water. Ahead of time remove the Hoya from the pot and soil and then put the plant face down and submerge it completely in the mixed water for like 15 minutes or longer till the bugs die from the lack of air. I saw a outdoor gardener do this once on a rose bush or something. I'd look the water over for floating dead bodies then at that point I'd take it out and because its not in a pot I'd drown that how in Captain Jack Dead Bug Brew on the underside and then do the same to the topside of the leaves. Eggs have to be still active in that soil and I'd chuck it completely then spray the entire root system with a mix of water to peroxide again like I would do for root rot and repot it and give it 2 weeks in the spare bathroom and look that chic over again with a magnifying glass. I think completely submerging that chic is the only route to go to know EVERYTHING is dead.
You can use isopropyl alcool diluted to 30% and spray it on the leaves all over and do another treatment 10 days after to Kill the eggs that hatched and you should be good to go (remote the dead mealybugs after the first treatment a good whipe should help)
Have you tried sulfur? May work! It comes as powder I put it in sprayer with water, alcohol, liquid systematic and drop of soap. The sulfur is also good for plants 🪴 Hope your lil mealy bugs 🐞 go away soon!!!
Try earthworm castings, as a plant tea and as topdressing. They are a mild, gentle fertilizer that will never burn roots, but even better, they build up chitinase in your plants to create systemic protection against any sap-sucking pests, including mealybugs. Any that do feed on your plants die, but even better, insects and spider mites apparently sense the chitinase and avoid the plant. DE is messy, especially indoors. Also, because its effectiveness comes from its jagged texture, which we can't feel but which slices up bugs, it is rendered completely ineffective whenever it is wet or damp, yet doesn't stay put when it's dry...I only ever use it anymore outdoors, as an ant barrier sometimes.
I would do a waterings with a hydrogen peroxide mix til mealies are gone. I had mealies (only a small handful) and once i got the visible ones out of the way, i watered with a 50/50 mix of water and hydrogen peroxide and they were gone. It wouldnt hurt to try if ya havent already, right?!
Hiiiiii 👋🏼 currently on my eighth month of trying to treat my ficus tineke of mealies. It’s a common plant and I should just toss it, but it’s a gigantic tree now with four separate stems so I can’t part with it. But it infuriates me every time I look at it.

I had that issue. Best wait to treat mealy bugs, put the plant outside facing north. No direct sun.
Two years in a room FULL of plants and I’m still yet to have an infestation, I’m so glad
They totally remind me of little Appas. When they find that field of flying bison.

Sometimes you do have to repot removing all soil and rinsing and or dunking entire plant, however not in alcohol. In a soap based solution.

Have you tried sulfur? May work! It comes as powder I put it in sprayer with water, alcohol, liquid systematic and drop of soap. The sulfur is also good for plants 🪴 Hope your lil mealy bugs 🐞 go away soon!!!
It's not just you, Harli. It's not just you.
When you use the systemic, did you mix it in the top layer a little or just sprinkle it on top? I think it's more effective if you mix it a bit 🤷♀️
I’ve had good luck with Lost Coast for mealies.
This was one of my fav videos!
Have you tried moving the asparagus fern? Maybe it needs more or less light idk
Omg!! I cannot believe your sister got that tattoo! Kurapika is one of my favorite anime characters ❤
Try earthworm castings, as a plant tea and as topdressing. They are a mild, gentle fertilizer that will never burn roots, but even better, they build up chitinase in your plants to create systemic protection against any sap-sucking pests, including mealybugs. Any that do feed on your plants die, but even better, insects and spider mites apparently sense the chitinase and avoid the plant.
DE is messy, especially indoors. Also, because its effectiveness comes from its jagged texture, which we can't feel but which slices up bugs, it is rendered completely ineffective whenever it is wet or damp, yet doesn't stay put when it's dry...I only ever use it anymore outdoors, as an ant barrier sometimes.
I would do a waterings with a hydrogen peroxide mix til mealies are gone. I had mealies (only a small handful) and once i got the visible ones out of the way, i watered with a 50/50 mix of water and hydrogen peroxide and they were gone. It wouldnt hurt to try if ya havent already, right?!
Dude! We all have plant stuff scattered all around our homes. Don’t trip, potato chip.
Btw… where’d you get that red pot? Its so gosh darn cute
Hiiiiii 👋🏼 currently on my eighth month of trying to treat my ficus tineke of mealies. It’s a common plant and I should just toss it, but it’s a gigantic tree now with four separate stems so I can’t part with it. But it infuriates me every time I look at it.
