That looks like scale to me. Using isopropyl alcohol and then wiping them off should usually take care of them. You just have to thoroughly search as they can also be hiding in the roots.

Mickey@lemmy.cato Books@lemmy.world•Genderpocalypse book suggestion without a sex-based lore explanation4·2 months agoThe Beauty by Aliya Whiteley is suppose to be about a society where all the women died some time ago and the last generation of men are trying to survive and cope with that. I have not read it yet though so I am not sure if they include any trans characters and their fates, but maybe it will interest you.
Mickey@lemmy.cato Houseplants@mander.xyz•A new patient arrived at the plant hospital. Do you think my grandma's Phalaenopsis orchid can be revived?English9·3 months agoDefinitely already looking better! Plants are super resilient!
I also recently got a half dead orchid at a plant swap that I am nursing back to health. It has one leaf left and one baby one coming in. Had to cut off so many bad roots but it looks like it’s bouncing back.
Mickey@lemmy.cato Houseplants@mander.xyz•My current collection of Calatheas and their relatives (spring edition)English2·3 months agoBeautiful collection! I love calatheas and have a bunch as well. The semi hydro setup is also smart since they do love their moisture.
The unfortunate part about having them though is that spider mites loooove them too and it’s a battle getting them under control sometimes.
You can do something like this cable washcloth! There are a bunch of similar patterns of various cable sizes.
Mickey@lemmy.cato Houseplants@mander.xyz•Why could my Pileas leafs be curling up?English3·4 months agoYeah my Pilea constantly did this and other more wacky curling. I moved it further away from the sun so it got indirect light and it liked that better.
Ebook for fiction books. The convenience is amazing and i don’t have enough space for all the books as physical copies in my place. Plus generally much cheaper to buy.
I do however buy some non-fiction books (ex. books on writing/editing/crafting techniques/etc.) as physical copies as I reference them more often and searching is much easier in physical format.
