Well, that's a wrap for me this season......we bought a houseplant from a big box store a few months ago without checking it for pests (mistake) and turns out it was completely infested with spider mites...that was right around the time this plant started flowering. At this point they have pretty well established themselves in the weed spot, like I'm even seeing some webbing on the underside of fan leaves near the bottom. That plus a couple more buds lost to mold recently, I think it's time to call it...

My little panda film box is a nice refuge in the colder darker months, but in the summer it's all stress over temps, humidity, and bugs, and I'd rather just be playing outside. Gonna try to keep a few bonsai moms healthy and washed under a shop light for a while, and hopefully be mite-free by the fall. Peace and happy SIPing y'all!
