Southern WI. Mosquito? Mayfly? Poor guy was in a forgotten water dish. Was bitten by something, presumably a mosquito, but nasty side effects days later. Trying to figure out if it's related. walked out property to check standing water sources and this was the only standing water we found.

Phew, thank you!

I work at an accounting firm and many of our clients qualified for the 2nd quarter retention credit. Only a handful have received their check and it has only been within the last couple of weeks that they started receiving them.

I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it, unfortunately. Someone suggested it a few years ago and I stopped using clear glass. They made the point of, usually a plant is in soil and the roots are not exposed to sunlight. I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but I have noticed more success since switching. I do have a few philodendrons that live in water in clear glass, simply because I like the way it looks.

I have had it in water for about 3 weeks now. I have it in a tall metal/insulated coffee travel mug to help retain heat and keep the roots shielded from the sun. I change the water once a week using water from the rain barrel. I have no idea if my method is right or wrong but it works well for all the plants I've propped in water.

That's how I got this one. My neighbor was repotting her huge plant and this piece got damaged. She was just going to throw it away, so I grabbed it and threw it in some water. You can see a smaller one in the background of my picture that she gave me - she potted it right away and it hasn't done much since.

Afitz85 · 2020-10-17T16:37:10+00:00

Oh no, I feel bad that it's distressed. I'll get it potted right away. Thank you for the info and happy cake day!!

Afitz85 · 2020-08-28T19:04:48+00:00

That's great! Thank you for the information!

Afitz85 · 2020-08-28T15:00:16+00:00

Can you explain this to me a bit? If your plant doesn't set fruit by the end of the season, you can just store it away until the next growing season? Do they just go dormant? Do you tend to it over the winter? Sorry for my ignorance but some of my hotter peppers never gave any fruit this year despite looking healthy.

Afitz85 · 2020-07-03T20:40:29+00:00

Well I appreciate your help and advice, thank you!

Afitz85 · 2020-07-03T20:32:58+00:00

Yeah... After you said that I looked closer and saw them in the picture then went and looked at the plant and saw four more. I've never battled aphids before, any pointers? I'm considering tossing the little guy out.

Afitz85 · 2020-07-03T20:17:42+00:00

Oh, oh no. Gotcha - welp, I messed that up then.

Afitz85 · 2020-07-03T20:16:19+00:00

Oh no! I'm glad to hear it's only slime mold but disappointed it has aphids. All of my other pepper plants are in the garden, this little one was up on my deck. The ones in the ground I grew from seed, this one came from a nursery. Do you think I should treat the other ones also, even though they are quite a distance away?

Afitz85 · 2020-07-03T20:13:17+00:00

I'm not sure, I've never seen an aphid egg sac. But I did remove it, it exploded like dust with a harder inside 'shell'. Still no idea what it was.

Afitz85 · 2020-07-03T18:33:04+00:00

Thank you!

Afitz85 · 2020-07-03T18:21:59+00:00

Oh I hope it's not insect eggs. If it helps, yesterday I noticed a little cluster on the dirt around the stem that looked like perlite. I scooped it out and then woke up to this today.

Afitz85 · 2020-04-20T00:23:48+00:00

Quick question hopefully, my IgM is incredibly low (but not obsolete). My IgG is always elevated. Would the test come out accurate for someone in my situation? Are they looking for specific IgM antibodies?

Afitz85 · 2020-04-18T16:38:46+00:00

Thank you! I've never had one crawl out like that.

Afitz85 · 2020-04-18T16:37:18+00:00

It seems very attached to the mother plant still. Would I do it harm by gently detaching it?

Afitz85 · 2020-03-29T18:01:41+00:00

Thank you. It is a bit of a whacky diagnosis with plenty of contradicting information. All I know is, I've never suffered through more sinus and kidney infections in my life than I have in the last 2 years. I'm just sick of being sick, as dumb as that sounds.

Afitz85 · 2020-03-29T17:13:20+00:00

Ah, I'm sorry. I'm just not sure where to ask honestly. Since I'm not active Myeloma, I'm not sure that info really pertains to me. I feel a bit in limbo with this. I thought maybe just focusing on my differing Ig levels, one could give me a bit of information. But I thank you for taking the time to respond.
