How to care for my new orchids miltonia and cambria and how to check their shape

I ended up througing it out, the others I only found 5-20 on each, but that one I could get them of, there was just so many! Creepiest thing I've ever seen!

There's a reason why aphids reproduce like crazy...

They don't lay eggs, they produce live young, and they do it frequently!

Aphids can even reproduce asexually.

A quick squirt of any innocuous household plant insecticide spray usually kills most aphids. Or even a spray with some dish soap. Go get it out of the dumpster.

Gross but interesting aphid fact, some offspring are born pregnant!

I don't think those are aphids, I think they are white fly. Very hard to get rid of! Jean
