I would just go ahead and sprinkle the granules in every pot you have, just on top of the soil or soil topper. It's fine enough that it will just trickle down when you water. I do this every few months and so far no more mealies or root mealies ever again!!!

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I actually did start doing that as well! The ones I used the systemic on in this video has been *spoiler alert* doing really well!!

@averilt Год назад

@@mypetitegarden oh awesome!!! I'm glad they're thriving now that they're not having to battle those pests! I feel like systemic pest control has made my life easier; I'm still going to check my plants whenever I can, but I just feel so much more relaxed knowing the plants themselves absorb the pest-killer and don't get inundated anymore 😊😊

I fall asleep and that's a compliment!! You are the NO1 RU-vidr for plant, AMSR and slow living, thank you so much ❤

@reedebrown6006 Год назад

Another really calming video, despite the fact it’s dealing with pests! I’m definitely saving some of your videos to watch over Christmas as I struggle this time of year and the combination of your voice and the music really helps the overall enjoyment of them. Thank you for sharing and I’m looking forward to an update 💚

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Glad you are enjoying the videos! I will definitely do an update for everyone but things are looking very promising!

@carmenmonteavaro9528 Год назад

I’ve been using the systemic consistently every 2-3 months on all my plants before I get mealies. Always trying to stay ahead of them. I also use top dressing on all my plants and just sprinkle the Bonide systemic over it. Once you water it will trickle down. I’m like you, I rather get rid of my Syngoniums before I get rid of my terracottas.

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I am definitely convinced & have started adding systemic to alot of my plants. Good to know that I can just apply over the top dressing, that would save me a lot of hassle when it comes time to reapply. Haha yes! Glad you feel the same way about our love for terracotta!

@joannanovara815 Год назад

I use this on every incoming or repotted plant in my collection. It has worked for fungus gnats(my only pest). I personally don't reapplyunless I see gnats. I also use in coordination with sticky traps.

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I'm glad it works on gnats too because those little suckers can annoy me more than actual pests sometimes. Yep, I think I'm going to start using it on any new plants as well!

@shay61 Год назад

I have use Systemic Granuals for over a year now. It can go right on top of the top dressing. You need to water the plants to activate the Granuals.

@kristathompson9888 Год назад

Looking forward to the update to see how your plants are doing 💚💚💚

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Will definitely do an update but things are definitely looking up!

@alnewyorkcity6979 9 месяцев назад

noticed when using a cotton swab to physically remove them, you push them off the leaf and into the soil. they will just crawl up the plant again. Recommend covering the top of the soil with something when doing this so youre not creating doubling work for yourself. will look for your follow up video.

@dana102083 6 месяцев назад

Unless you touch them and alcohol kills them directly..but definitely.if not getting it on their skin

@kyrad6543 Год назад

I have a theory about these systemic granules, take it for what it's worth. It works better on plants that are thirsty like syngoniums, philodendrons, etc. because they will drink up more of the poison. Plants that aren't as thirsty, succulents/hoyas, it doesn't work as well. I still use it but I don't feel like it's a panacea to mealy bugs. It's just one weapon in the battle.

@alvaferjoe2117 Год назад

Good morning Stacy, from Vancouver Canada. Always enjoy your video. Thanks for another relaxing one💚

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Thank you for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed this video :)

@wandashaw3551 Год назад

Hi Amy, best of luck with solving the pest problem. On the subject of using terra cotta, I plant my Syngoniums in slotted orchid pots and then use the terra cotta pot as a cover pot and you could still top dress. Just a thought!!

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Thanks Wanda! (my name is Stacy btw 😆👋). I currently do keep a few plants in plastic containers (usually smaller cuttings) and then put then in terracotta cover pots, it's definitely not as easy as just potting it straight in terracotta but definitely something worth considering for the syngoniums.

@cherylsignor9646 Год назад

I hope the systemic wipes out all those little demons! It worked when I had thrips. I’m battling mealies on my Hoyas too. I might have to try it again. Looking forward to your update!

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I will definitely do an update but it definitely looks promising! Mealies love Hoyas so this might be the best solution in keeping them at bay.

@kearao6726 Год назад

It won’t hurt to use more than it says on the packaging. Unless I go crazy with this stuff I don’t always see results.

@lauriebrown9714 Год назад

I love top dressing, I don’t like the look of perlite popping to the top. Sometimes I’ll use leca if I have a plant that needs a little support. Or occasionally bark. I love to use akadama but expensive when filling your tank and buying groceries is the current challenge. Another enjoyable video 👍

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Glad someone else also likes to use top dressing on their plants! I love the look of akadama too but like you said, it's quite pricey. Thanks for watching!

@EVTD79 Год назад

If I'm not mistaken it's better to mix it into the soil, otherwise it causes your soil to appear moldy. But if you top dress your soil, it should be fine. I also add a couple of capfuls to my pre-made soil. mixes.

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I've done both ways so far and it seems to be fine and things are definitely looking promising!

@utakcaline444 Год назад

Coucou Stacy, merci pour ce petit vlog détente, j'aimerais bien trouver ce produit en France mais c 'est difficile. des bisous

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Hello! Glad you enjoyed the video! Maybe you can find something similar to this specific product in France.

@gabrieleweidhuner5727 Год назад

Hope this works for you. The constant battle with pests can get very tiring & we end up tossing the plant. I will always spend a lot of time trying to get rid of pests but there comes a time when enough is enough. I hate tossing plants. Thankfully I haven't had to do a lot of tossing over the years. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.😊

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I'll definitely do an update but so far it has been working really well!

@shonniemurphy6512 Год назад

I love the look of your top dressing. What top dressing would you suggest for me as I use white, grey, and black pots?

@gyoi359 Год назад

What are you using for top dressing? Is it turface? And thank you for your videos. They are honestly a favorite to help me relax 😊

@mypetitegarden Год назад

It's maifan stone, I have it linked in my Amazon store if you are interested in checking it out. It's currently my favorite thing to top dress with. 😁

@kimric5938 Год назад

Try Systemic Bonide Eight (it's a spray that has the right amount of sulphur in it to kill just about any houseplant pest). Best of luck on all your beautiful plants! 🪴✨️

@michellechapman8738 Год назад

Where do meely bugs come from? I just have fungus gnats and i sprinkle cinnamon on the top soil to control them.

@dannini Год назад

I misread the sticky note as “mealie report” lol.

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Haha that could apply here as well 😆

@suekuan1540 6 месяцев назад

Did the systemic work and if so, how many times was it applied per plant

@martharubensson2963 Год назад

Here in Sweden systemics are prohibited 😢 they aren’t the best for the environment so I understand, but sometimes they can be very useful 🙈

@mypetitegarden Год назад

Totally understandable! I don't think I would use systemic outdoors but since its only on my indoor plants it seems like a good option to keep those pests away.

@febakoshy8888 5 месяцев назад

I heard mealy bugs hate hydrogen peroxide

@sandiesorchids9387 Год назад

How long would you say it took the leafless H. Haniae to start to show growth and did you do anything to encourage growth on it? I have an H. Sarawak in the same boat.

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I think it started putting out new growth a few weeks after I put it into stratum. And no, I don't do anything specific to encourage it, I honestly wasn't expecting anything to come of it but it did!

@rhodealexandre6583 Год назад

Good morning Stacey, so sorry you have to deal with mealies right now. I wish my anguliger would bloom. It may need more light. Do you have a specific care routine for yours? Thanks Most of your Hoyas seems to be small and compact is it by choice or it is just the type of Hoya you have?

@mypetitegarden Год назад

I don't have any special way to care for my ric rac cactus - I just leave it on my east facing window. I do keep it quite rootbound which I heard helps with getting it to flower. As for my Hoyas it's a combination of what you said, most of my hoyas I got as really small cuttings so it takes some time to grow them out and the rarer ones usually tend to grow quite slowly. I also do have a tendency to love smaller plants though. 😁

@rhodealexandre6583 Год назад

@@mypetitegarden Thank you and have yourself and family a joyous Holiday.

@yonokzeller5402 Год назад

@gloriaa.4858 Год назад

Nope! Nope! Sorry, I cannot watch this. I have been adding this systemic to my plant mixes for the past two years. IT WORKS! But, now I think there may be a microscopic issue going on with a couple of my Hoyas, and yes, I'm "afraid" to investigate. I know everything is going to be okay with your babies. No plant parent wants to toss a plant. Love your vids, but I cannot watch this.

@zandrawostel3765 Год назад

Hi Gloria - There is a microscopic mite (flat or broad mite) that is attacking hoyas but will also attack other plants as well. I'm having this issue as well as the usual pests. You can spray a mixture of sulfur and water on the stems, front and back of the hoyas. There are two theories on how long to leave it on. I know that there are a lot of videos on RU-vid about them and how to treat them. I've lost several hoyas to these bugs so I'm in the process of treating with surfur spray. Just a fyi

@gloriaa.4858 Год назад

@@zandrawostel3765 Wow, thank you Zandra. My Obovata and my Kerrii are really hurting. I'll try the sulfur and water.

@dana102083 6 месяцев назад

@zandrawostel3765 I met a Phillipina lady that used safers sulfur as a spray and nothing else..interesting as I never heard anyone else saying..I live in canada and it's pretty.dry here.
