This will be my struggle in a year or two. I'm planning on moving a couple provinces over so I'll need to come up with a way to move them. Probably end up taking a bunch of cuttings instead.

I'm just hoping it's not another 12 years for the next one.

I ran the pic through Planta which says it could be a common fig, or ficus carica. I think it looks pretty similar, could be that.

They stopped issuing cards and just print it on a full 8.5"x11" piece of paper now actually lol.

Definitely spider mites, I've gotten rid of them by giving them a good spray down with my shower head, wiping all the leaves with damp paper towel, and then dousing the plant in miticide (i used safer's end all, it comes in a yellow bottle). I did 3 separate treatments 3 days apart. and then kept them quarantined for a month to make sure i got em all. I managed to get rid of the mites on most of my infested plants except for my parlor palm which i ended up throwing out. There's other, more environmentally friendly options you can google but that's what worked for me.

Make sure you get all the nooks and crannies, including the underside of the leaves, stems, and the top of the soil. Those buggers are prolific and if you miss some then they come back quickly.

Some great posts back in the day, and definitely some not so great posts haha. I had to unsub after it turned into celebrities hocking their products.

Thank you for the recommendation! I've definitely considered carnivorous plants. Actually I ended up throwing all my plants in water last month (except for some succulents which weren't part of the problem) to convert all of my plants to a semi-hydro system instead. I haven't seen a fungus gnat since! Once it warms up outside and I can rinse off the substrate with a hoze I'll be potting them up in a soilless mix.

Hey so you actually can make it so an email address doesn't log into the account, it's how I stopped one particularly persistent hacking attempt when they finally managed to crack my password but were stopped by 2fa. Go to your profile > account info > sign in preferences, then as long as you have an alias email on the account you can deselect ones that you don't want to be able to be used as a log-in.

I'm with you on the houseplants, starting to branch out (lol) into hoyas now.
