3 Plant Health Tips:

• …Pest Clean Up/Prevention

  Mix 1-2 tablespoons of DE per litre (quart) of water. Add yucca extract or liquid soap and shake/stir well. Add to a spray bottle and spray the entire plant down top to bottom just like with the peroxide. Allow the leaves to fully dry and let the DE sit on the leaves for 3-5 days at least. Make sure it isn’t going to rain during this period of time or you will have to reapply. Morning is best for applying foliar sprays!

  Sprinkle a good layer of the DE on top of your soil after you spray the plant down to catch any insects that may have made a home in your soil and try to come out when brought inside!

  Repeat as necessary because you will never burn plants with DE or harm leaves.

   

• …Extra precaution

  Insecticidal soap can be made at home super easy with a few ingredients. What this mixture does is stick to insects and suffocate them. You can add DE as well to make it even more potent! Here is the recipe for this:

  BONUS:

  Adding our fertilizer or plant probiotic to the leaves and soil after the hydrogen peroxide cleaning will reintroduce essential bacteria & fungi that will help your plants prevent disease and ensure they get a steady source of nutrients throughout the winter months 👍.

  
  

2 Thoughts of the week:

• ...Thoughts, emotions & chemicals

   

  I just started a book called “Becoming Supernatural”. We all have thoughts and as much as we want to stop them sometimes, we can’t. The tricky thing is that thoughts create emotions, which in turn create chemicals in our bodies as a response.

   

  The chemical reaction to thought is the art of creating in our own bodies from nothing. The issue that I experience and many others is that our thoughts are rooted in the past. Things we’ve done “wrong”, things we wish we could change, or traumatic events.

   

  Generally these thoughts are negative and by thinking these same thoughts over and over again, our body continues to release the chemicals that are associated with them like cortisol and adrenaline. Your body is in fight, or flight mode all day long.

   

  Eventually over time your body can become addicted to these chemicals and as you think, your body will induce more thoughts that follow the same narrative to release the same chemicals. This addiction makes it very difficult to create a new future for yourself by thinking new thoughts and eventually wears on the body in the form of disease.

   

  A practice I will be doing that is mentioned in the book is for 10 minutes three times per day, try to experience love, acceptance, joy, gratitude, and other high energy thoughts. Feel how they feel in your body. See your future with these thoughts.
