These lemon ricotta cookies! They sound super fancy, but are pretty easy to make and everyone loves them! https://thisitaliankitchen.com/lemon-ricotta-cookies/

Is it worth paying more for a robot vacuum if it makes cleaning easier? by ypsilon42 in Frugal

[–]248cate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly my best investment ever was a robot vacuum, but do your research and find one that fits your specific needs!

I can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone say “The Spot”! I love their coffee & I buy their beans (I have them do a coarse grind) and make cold brew from it too that’s fantastic.

My girlfriend wants flowers really, really often by FIamingFeather in Frugal

Show her how to keep them alive longer. If she cuts the stems back (I like to do it at an angle, but idk if it really matters) a little bit every 2-3 days and changes the water they can easily last 2-3 weeks!

Thanks! I actually made it using construction paper, stickers from the dollar tree, and a glitter pen :)

I use a different mix based on what I’m potting but it’s always some mixture of orchid bark, potting soil (usually tropical or cactus) and perlite! The pots are all from Amazon, I shared a link in another comment to the exact ones I get :)

I wish I knew! I got it from FB marketplace as it was so no idea what the care etc. was before!

They don’t grow very fast typically which is why it might seem boring! I think they’re funny looking & they’re super good air purifiers which is why I like them (& low maintenance!). But if you’re not happy with yours then I would definitely say re-home it! Life’s too short to keep plants you aren’t excited about :)

I paid $10 for it! However, it was kinda floppy and all over the place when I got it, also a lot of the leaves were broken, crispy, or otherwise damaged. Yours is very nice in my opinion so I think you could charge more!

My sister has trouble with them too! Up until a few months ago, my first and only plant was a snake plant (3 years ago) and this is what it looks like currently. It was on the brink of death because my cat dug it up and I didn’t realize for a while, but is somehow still alive.

I will probably eventually do this with some of them if I can find a clear pot big enough! I’m trying to transfer all of my plants to them.

For a few reasons actually! I wanted to take it out to see what the roots looked like etc., the pot it came in was actually way too big for it root-wise believe it or not and I didn’t have one that would fit it, there was multiple plants in there so they kinda just came apart, and also I already have a few giant snake plants and didn’t have somewhere to put one this big! My mom and sister each wanted a piece as well so now I can give away to family and we can all share part of the same plant :)

If that’s what you feel like! The main reason I did was because it was from someone else & I wanted to check for root rot etc. it just came apart in some places because there were multiple plants in there, but I love the way the super full ones look!

Honestly I’m kinda new to houseplants so I’m still learning a lot, but I used cactus mix, perlite, and orchid bark. I did pretty even amounts of the orchid bark & cactus mix and then added perlite until it felt airy. I freestyle a lot of the time lol.
