Try not to lose hope

Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. I'm glad you are home. The hospital can be so lonely and not conducive to the rest you need either. Sending all my good vibes your way.

Yeah, the let me wake you up every three hours x then there are multiple different people doing it for different reasons = no sleep at all. I feel like my first baby when I used to go in to her room to check on her. She would be sleeping so soundly, I got worried and I “had” to shake her arm/leg a bit (a lot) to wake her, just to make sure she was still alive! 🙄🤣 #newMomVibes

Thank you, thank you, that would be so awesome!!!
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Is the Cherry Pie down to branches with no leaves, or no branches at all? If you don’t mind sending a pic, I might have a fix for you.

Oh hes so sad. Ill send pics. Im hoping it just buds out lower..the green branches have shriveled up. He had 1 day of being dry and this happened lol. I uprooted to check his roots and he seems fine down there so we'll see...
 
For cherry pie (the top one), those green branches are beyond rescue, and no buds will be viable or strong enough to pop from them at this point, so I would cut them off completely. Wrap the entire thing with authentic parafilm M, leaving the nubs where the green stems were uncovered, and the bottom half inch not wrapped. Bag over the whole thing. Then it should be good to go, as long as the root mass is sufficient, and doesn’t have damage or bugs.
 
The bottom one can still be pulled back from the brink and it has a viable bud. I would snip off the wilted leaves, remove the cracked wax, wrap with authentic parafilm M as described above. And then just give it time to heal, again provided that the root mass is sufficient and doesn’t have damage or bugs.

yeah i was letting it suck all the nutrients out of the branches it could before i went for it lol.
 
Glad you're okay! FYI at least in my climate mites are easy... only a problem indoors and I didnt even see them this year but if I have to keep certain plants in for a month or longer they'll usually arrive.. dish soap and water works fine .. some years maybe twice... just make sure to hit every crack, around the pots, in adjacent sils or shelves .. if you get everywhere you won't see them for weeks and by the time they go outside no issue here they turn into food for allies fast

Lol I did that to my son too. If I couldn't immediately see breathing or hear noise I woke him up.

And I read that spider mites can become somewhat resistant to different treatments.

Do you have a recommendation for a pyrethrin spray?

I got the pyrethrin from a local hydro shop, mainly because it is organic. There are more powerful pyrethrin variants that lasts longer. I also tried sulfur spray which seemed to work as well. Sulfur spray is just a habit I had before bringing plants indoors.

Would you mind please sharing a product with the longer lasting oyrethrins?
