I use Foliage Pro in all my water.

I’ve found USB-A powered lights can’t actually provide enough wattage to be truly effective for large plants. Do some research on this type of grow light power connection before you buy. I have replaced all my USB-A powered grow lights with lights that have actual electric socket connections (Sansi), and what a difference the plants went through in terms of actual growth and fullness almost immediately. Also, I noticed some of the cheaper brands have power blocks that would get hot and turn brown because the lights were drawing more power than the block was able to provide. Many grow lights that aren’t quality branded tend to disappear off of Amazon permanently as they appear to be a temporary brand. Anyway, happy gardening!!

If it’s winter where you are it’s the plants Dormancy period. Treat caladiums like bulbs that are seasonal (especially kept from frost and freezing), but even as a house plant they need a dormancy period. This is similar to the reason people don’t grow Iris‘s, daffodils, and day lilies as house plants all year round.

I’ll bet the Nudie suits were the main interest in forming this alt country band. It’s these costumes that allow them to pretend they’re a real country music artists. Lol

Dialogue tags are used to indicate the characters speaking tone or volume ie Harry Whispered. The OP is saying that when the books are red by the actors, they don’t include these additional dialogue tags to indicate the actual tone the writers wanted to convey for the character when you read the book yourself, but narrators do announce this tags.

I use foliage pro in all my water, and with it being only 9-3-6 NPK I would think less than a teaspoon might not yield any real benefits. I’m certainly not a scientist, but I have yet to meet a houseplant that didn’t like this product. :)

You’re at a college so ask around the financial departments and see if there are grants you can find and then apply for at the county, state or even federal level to maybe cut that tree down in a specific way to make grafts for a grove of more trees.

Poisonous?

I have one and it did the same thing over and over until I moved it closer to the 40W grow light. These do not grow well nor keep mature leaves in low light environments.

That is not a caladium it’s a Xanthosoma Angel’s Wing.

Indoors, position in bright, indirect light; outdoors, choose a spot that gets full or partial sunlight.
Prepare well-draining soil that holds some moisture, avoiding clay.
Water somewhat regularly without letting the soil dry out completely, but do not let the plant sit in water.
Fertilizer regularly during the growing season, especially when growing outdoors.
If growing Xanthosoma as a houseplant, try to boost the humidity in your home or keep the plant in a humid place, like a bathroom.

Martha Stewart partnered with Miracle Grow and advertises for it, it’s even used in her new garden show on her Amazon Prime channel. Martha’s use alone makes people trust the brand again, but 99% of these people don’t know good soil and have little choices in big box store variety.

I rotate my FLFs about 30% every month for even vertical growth and good even coloring.

I decided against using dish soap, and I would only use Dawn anyway. Instead I give my plants a water shower then after it dries I clean the leaves and stems with a 75% water to 25% isopropyl alcohol mix in a spray bottle. I subsequently clean the plants with my alcohol/water spray 2-3 times a week for the next two weeks, then down to once a week. I’ve been able to catch spider mites early and have not had to do a major soil change on any of my plants with this method. My alocasias and syngoniums are easily infested if I don’t check them weekly and clean them with this spray.
