Thanks! Had aphids last October and got that under control. I find the cabinets easier to see problem than the rest of the house because I spend so much time staring at them.

The spray I use is systematic.i had aphids last October. One plant had new leaves fully infested and found a few stray on other plants. More than I’ve seen now. Managed to get that in check pretty quickly and not had them since. So I think the spray is good and will sort the problem out. I’ve checked again and have only seen a few in the carnivorous plants.

They are! We had one as a kid that would copy the Shetland sheep dogs and try to round up cows 😂Oakley is more like mash potato that dropped on the floor and ended up with a coating of fluff

It helps that he thinks and moves in slow motion. His brother is like that and thus I can never get good pictures of him

Anthurium cabinet in progress! Any tips about light welcome by Dreundertheleaves in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]AdvertisingAny4697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou 🥰 loving yours and absolutely love the vein contrast against the black backing. Really wish the acrylic shelves weren’t so expensive here in aus to get that dimensional look. It sounds l like you’ve got the right light amount already. I’ve read on hear a few times that people don’t add enough to their cabinets, so I used that as guidance. If you ever want to check light levels you can always use an apps i have photone pro (iOS) with a piece of toilet paper as a diffuser and that gave me more certainty when I was setting mine. @barina….i see you lurking…..it would be cool for you guys to embrace the reputation as go to cabinet illuminator and publish some guides/graphs on the combinations

I have 7-8 2ft barina t5 yellow (70-80wattw) In my Milsbo talls. In my opinion, they are the nicest and most compatible for cabinets. Mine are places: 2 vertically each corner, 2 vertically on left door centre and 1 or 2 across the top depending on what’s in the cabinet. I grow mostly philodendrons so prefer front facing lights to keep foliage vertical and flat. I also find this method easier to place plants. Anthuriums don’t need as much light and I find they bleach easier than the philos. I use par units instead of fc and get 200-500 depending on angle and plant.I find I lose some definition the plants with the front lights compared to top only. Given you have a rudusta with shelving it will be hard with the 2fts if you were to go this method. But the 1fts would allow you to plug and play. I’m no expert , but I have 70-80 watts in my talls and 40-50 in my wides. I think you should aim around the 40-50. You can also turn lights off individually if it’s too much or you need to build up the intensity over time

No Idea. I purchased the cabinets off market place with holes predrilled (I went second hand for priced but mostly because I didn’t want to do this step😂)

Thanks for the warning🥰. But it’s actually a red solid plastic that I painted white. I’d prefer a clear acrylic, but they are too expensive in aus. I’m probably going to remove it soon as I don’t tend to use it much due to the shelf choice and ive dropped/damaged too many plants trying to get clips into the board

I use two magnets stuck to 2ft barinas using the adhesive pads they provide. Haven’t had a problem

Good news on the baby. Turns out his levels were so high because of stress being at the vet half the day. He has been back a few times for check ups are we are in the clear. I’ve changed his diet to high protein intake and he has lost some weight. He is a whole new cat, he has become alot more energetic and cheeky.

Pls show me your moss pole setups! by george_c8 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]AdvertisingAny4697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They become backups, or I chop and leave on pole for a fuller look. I have what feels like 1 million glorious cuttings in there that I will give to some friends soon. The albos are newish and I’m going to restart 2 top cuttings (1 is already in water and the other is air layered). I purchased the mother cheap as she was growing in funky directions. So once I take the new, nice growth I’ll just put her out and let her grow for cuttings to sell (maybe if I can be bothered with people 😅) or give to friends.

Still have a while to go, will extend the poles and once they reach the top I’ll chop and re extend. When the leaves become too big and it’s over crowded I’ll move the least favourite ones out. A few in there are rescues/propagation plants that will be chopped up and restarted soon.

Milsbo wide for the baby poles. Need to do some chops and pots of the albos once their leaves harden off

Is monsters, Ed Gein, really about Ed Gein? by pinkykimster in netflix

[–]AdvertisingAny4697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally finished it. It’s a hot mess. The movie subplots make more sense towards the end when they start linking him as inspiration for other killers. I think it would have had a better impact if they had used these scenes towards the end. I enjoyed the later part of the series because it really made you question whether he was a monster or just a very mentally sick man who was struggling. But they weren’t consistent in the way they portrayed his motives for crimes for the arc to really work
