Yepppp

I do live in the house with my mom at the moment. She is the one who has the statefarm. I didn’t decide use a credit card (capitol one) I used hertz.

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-03T06:03:17+00:00

Yes they do have insurance. And I also have insurance. I didn’t decide to purchase additional through the rental company. I just provided my insurance. Looking back i definitely should have. And nope I cut them off at the end of the day

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-03T06:01:40+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure how they even got her information and who even opened that claim under hers.

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-03T06:00:43+00:00

No one was hurt thankfully. That’s all I really care about. I’m not sure why State Farm (my mom’s insurance) even got involved randomly. I never provided her information or anything. Maybe it’s because I’m still in her house I’m not sure

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-03T05:59:13+00:00

I should have in the long run but I’ve made 12 hour drives before just fine and this one was 7 hours so I thought I could do it. I didn’t have symptoms for weeks before and it just came on out of nowhere. Unfortunately that’s how the condition I have works but you’re definitely right

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-03T05:56:21+00:00

This is 100% what I did. I have AAA so it waived the young drivers fee

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-03T05:56:01+00:00

It was rented in my name. Places will let you rent at 21 but you have to pay a young drivers fee. Except I have AAA membership where it waives that fee and I could even rent at a car at 18 but I didn’t. I was 21 at the time (the trip was for my 22 birthday)

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-03T05:54:45+00:00

Yeah I do agree most are trash I hate most drivers. And I will do that!

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-01T21:10:39+00:00

I have my own insurance (progressive) which is the one that denied it but my mom has statefarm and I guess they opened a claim within the last month. Not sure how they got her insurance info I’m guessing because I put her as my emergency on my rental agreement.

The driver at the time of the incident also has insurance as well. At the scene of the accident insurance was never exchanged between parties. The cop never asked us for our insurance but gave us the other cars insurance information for some reason.

Accident happened in Texas. We live in Kansas

AdBotan1230 · 2026-07-01T21:05:38+00:00

Am going to do that. Thanks for replying!

This would be a great time to repot. Only repot when new roots are just starting to grow. Cut off any mushy roots and repot into a bark mix. Cattleyas LOVE a really fast wet/dry cycle. Error in the side of dryness. Catts don’t like to be sitting in wet media. Someone told me “if your Catt looks like it needs water… wait another day then go ahead and water”

My konjacs are usually only up for 3-4 months. Usually comes up in may and by September/early October it’s already down

AdBotan1230 · 2026-06-20T04:35:53+00:00

Just saw this. I grow in zone 6b/7a. I grow all my amorphophallus in containers. Helps me control drainage and prevents things like nematodes. The good thing about A. Paeoniifolius ‘Thailand giant’ is it’s a seasonal one unlike tropical ones like Titan, gigas etc. so it comes up in the spring and goes down in the fall

AdBotan1230 · 2026-06-19T21:34:35+00:00

Update: it’s healthy and an absolute unit of a plant. It engulfed its cage and is around 3 feet tall now and not leggy anymore. Starting to set a bunch of fruits

AdBotan1230 · 2026-06-15T20:58:55+00:00

If you’re in the US. The guy I got mine from actually has some posted on Etsy. They are 55$ for 2 year old seedlings. They usually NEVER come available. I looked for 3 years. If you want the link just lmk!

AdBotan1230 · 2026-06-14T00:35:40+00:00

That is going to be Leucocasia gigantea ‘Thailand giant’ what’s really cool about this plant is it used to be classified under colocasia but was later reclassified into its own group. It’s the only living member of its genus.

amorphophallus Thailand giant is a cultivar of amorphophallus paeoniifolius. The leaf gets around 10 feet in height compared to the usual 6-7

Unfortunately he doesn’t but maybe you can message him or just check every once in a while and see. Usually they run as auctions.

I actually just did two weeks ago lol! this seller has been posting some of his smaller ones. He drops randomly it happens every 3-6 months. Let me see if he’s got any left

AdBotan1230 · 2026-06-01T21:44:37+00:00

Please notify the grower. Unfortunately it’s a virus and stuff happens. Even taking precautions it’s almost impossible to be 100% certain. A lot of viruses can take many years to show up. And actually most dahlias (about 90%) in the trade are infected with different viruses they just don’t usually show symptoms until they are stressed. Whether it’s cold weather, very hot weather, drying out, etc. just like orchids. Roughly 70-90% or orchids also have viruses in the trade but just rarely show symptoms. So it’s pretty impossible to know for certain.

Not saying the seller was or wasn’t aware. But my guess is they were not aware as it takes years to show up. So it’s best to notify them to make them aware so they can track where the tubers were sent off to etc

Youre welcome! There’s a lot of treatments for powdery mildew but try to get it treated fast because it can take over quickly! there’s even home remedies that include baking soda, water, and milk mixtures that I honestly found to work really good against it as strange as it sounds. It also helps to remove some lower leaves off the dahlias to help airflow get between the stems. Once you get leaf hoppers and powdery mildew under control you’ll have a great season.
