  • I agree with your premise, and here is some additional unsolicited information:

    Vanilla ‘beans’ technically are fruit from hand-pollinated orchids! So scraping a seed pod or using extract makes no difference. It’s never been a bean.

    Coffee ‘beans’ are seeds from the fruit of coffee trees and shrubs.



  • Agree with spider mites, pretty sure I can see webbing between the leaf tips.

    Neem will work, so will insecticidal / horticultural soap and it smells less bad. Heck they’re soft-bodied, you could probably spray 50% isopropyl and kill them too. I like the soap because it’s really cheap and safe for pretty much anything without farina / epicuticular wax (I feel like some begonia Rex aren’t a fan either).

    This is a good sized infestation so I would recommend starting by rinsing the leaves really well in the shower or with a hose. After debulking the colony, then use insecticide.

    Check your other plants too OP! Mites are not particularly particular.

  • Homework and learning is for the neurotypical

    Homework — sure, not gonna argue with that.

    Learning? I object. I know I’m not alone in the neurodiverseiverse when I say that learning is my one unwavering hobby / passion. Every time I become fixated on a new subject the goal is always to learn everything about it. I might go as far as to say that learning is the main thing that makes life seem slightly meaningful, myself. Being ND, I just can’t manage to ever maintain focus long enough to become an expert or a specialist on any one thing but I have gained a general knowledge of a ton of random things instead.

    I know a little about a lot of things, not a lot about one or a few things.
