Today I'm sharing with you the products and things I would never use with my Orchids because.. reasons :P
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
1. Diatomaceous earth, it has gained a lot of popularity in the past years and it would seem it works great! My fear is that, since it is an abrasive dust, it will irritate my respiratory system and lungs. Could it? not sure, but do research it more [ Ссылка ] and [ Ссылка ]
2. Pesticides are usually very dangerous to humans, we always need to protect ourselves with suits, gloves and masks. [ Ссылка ] Many pests can develop resistance to certain substances [ Ссылка ]
My non toxic recipe against spider mites [ Ссылка ]
3. Fungicides are similar to pesticides, they are toxic and we need to protect ourselves [ Ссылка ] These substances have an important role, but it is important to treat with the right substance. It is harder to see these microscopic pathogens, so guessing what caused what is something I don't want to do.
4. Leaf shiners can contain oils, which are detrimental for sensitive leafed orchids [ Ссылка ] even though not all will react bad, can you foresee which ones will have issues? I am not ok with the risk. Also mayonnaise, the DIY leaf shine, is mainly oil so... I am not ok with using it either :P
