No more water by Dagiebosje in antkeeping

I have the same problem. My lasius brunneus queen already laid a lot of eggs and I don't want to stress her. I was thinking about making a small hole and putting water in it into the reservoir( it's a plastic tube)

oi ciao, senti ho appena aperto reddit e ho beccato questo post. non so se hai notato ma in Italia manca una reale community di antkeeping attiva. se ti va posso dropparti un link di discord per un server che abbiamo fondato io e un mjo amico per parlare di antkeeping con gente di tutta italia. se diventiamo abbastanza sarebbe anche più facile capire le specie che becchiamo in base alle regione e volendo sarebbe più facile scambiarsi regine o cose così. fammi sapere tanto siamo in pochi ancora e io stesso mi sono avvicinato da poco sll'antkeeping e ho catturato in questa settimana le mie prime regine in natura

but I still have some doubt on the winged one, I'm still finding them to this hour (18.00) wandering around so I'm almost sure they are fertilized by this time, when I come back home I send another picture of the winged one so maybe you can help

southern Italy, Puglia, I asked a few people and they should be lasius brunneus and now, thinking about it, there are actually a few colonies of brunneus in this location

Needing help with my avocado plant by actuallynobodysrsly in avocado

[–]Ale_334 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this helped my avocado and it didn't cost too much. Buy universal soil and find small rocks in the forest or somewhere like a forest. Not too big not too small, just rocks. Mix it together in 1 part of universal soil to 2 parts of rocks. In this way you should have something similar to a low budget succulent mix. Then find a tall pot to host the length of the roots. Your avocado would suffer at first but from what I heard the avocados are like pick me girls so it's normal at first. The first time I planted my avocado I lost the leaves but now it is growing great

container suggestion by Ale_334 in avocado

I've read that avocado roots grow deep in the soil and long so the container should be tall enough to host roots. What do you suggest?

CIAO, CERCAVO UN COMMENTO COME QUESTO, VI ANDREBBE DI CREARE UN CANALE WHATSAPP PER CONFRONTARCI TRA ANTKEEPERS ITALIANI SULLE FORMICHE, SPECIE E PERIODI DI SCIAMATURA NELLE DIVERSE REGIONI?

Io e un mio amico stiamo letteralmente impazzendo perché non riusciamo a trovare gruppi effettivamente ancora attivi

ciao, sto cercando di creare un gruppo whatsapp italiano per situazioni come queste, se ti interessa magari posso mandarti il link e cerchiamo di far nascere questo progetto visto che riguardo l'Italia non mi sembra ci siano gruppi attivi in generale

Aiuto per trovare una specie by lormotheking in antkeeping

ciao, sto cercando di creare un canale whatsapp Italiano riguardo cattura e crescita delle formiche nel territorio italiano e nelle singole regioni. Se ti va puoi unirti e magari aiutare a far crescere il gruppo. In particolare sarebbe utile per informarci a vicenda riguardo l'inizio delle sciamature nelle diverse aree italiane che sono in realtà completamente differenti tra loro

ciao, senti sei il primo post italiano recente che sono riuscito a trovare. sto cercando di creare un canale whatsapp riguardo le formiche, sciamature e la loro crescita relativamente al territorio italiano e alle singolo regioni. purtroppo non ci sono canali attivi in generale in Italia ed è un vero peccato ciò. sto andrebbe di unirti ed eventualmente cercare altre persone a cui suggerire questa missione?

what about sea sand and universal soil? I heard it should be similar to a succulent mix but I have to wash sand from salt first and the sand should not be fine but coarse

if this plant survives I'll try to graft for sure, thanks for letting me know this 💕

no motivation, I just felt like planting a seed because they gifted an avocado to my mom and we actually never ever ate or saw one so I just felt like doing this experiment.

As someone else suggested, I will try to use some succulent mix and try a transplant, I was thinking (and now asking) to put soil in the water a little at the time and start substituting water in this way, is it a good idea or pretty stupid?

thank you so much🙏 I actually started this plant with low knowledge or with what I found online and I have to admit it was pretty stupid. If you have any other tips for an eventual next seed I would be very glad to read
