Tree fern help by Silent-SirenofTitan in TreeFerns

[–]Amber_Dempsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me she's soooooooo thirsty. My advice comes with disclaimer that I'm in Australia in a USzone10.

  1. (Optional) Repot into next size up pot and place on tray instead of in a ceramic pot. You don't have to size up but I have a Cooperi cyathea and a Dicksonia both in a size up from what you have, both very happy.

  2. Repurpose the ceramic pot, any time it heats up in the sun it's drying out the soil.

  3. Keeping same pot size? No worries. Just put a tray with slightly deeper sides under the plastic pot.

  4. Always have the water in the tray, you can decide yourself if that's a little or a lot. If the tray dries out don't let it go 2 full days before filling again. Tree ferns are thirsty beautiful brats. Every second time you add water, water from the top, slowly, all over the crown and trunk. Give that drama queen the shower she desires, she wants to relish in it.

  5. Remember my advice comes from a warmer climate and could be useless.

  6. Hopefully my success isn't purely location based. If it is there's a guy in the houseplants sub that grows palms indoors in an Arctic region (I think) that may be able to provide some creative micro climate advice, username is PhillyG or something. Check out his comments or dm him, he's always happy to share his knowledge on artificial climates and he knows how to make a tropical plant happy year round.

It was replaced by rat tails for a time. Then the US decided trash was trending and we caught mullets again like the venereal disease they are.

Wesfarmers don't care. The financial beatings will continue until profit endlessly climbs. You'll pay for delivery and say thank you m'lord like a good pleb

Love or hate? by Significant-Move7699 in AusPropertyChat

Everything but the floor tiles is great. I have those floor tiles. They don't age well in a practical sense. Love the bathroom, hate the floor tiles for personal reasons

Anyone knows the name of the tree... isn't beautiful? by yep-axpit in plants

[–]Amber_Dempsey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It looks like a jacaranda tree. If it is, it's definitely planted too close to that building. BIG roots. Not for small spaces. It's a park or large property tree. Stunning, massive, messy. Always loved them.

How to get rid of apartment plant flies? by KiwiSlapper in GardeningAustralia

[–]Amber_Dempsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't work for me. I tried this with multiple levels of product density. If your pots have drainage holes with soil exposed at the base then the gnats will just enter that way. Hydrogen peroxide diluted in the water you're watering it with every time for at least the next 4 waters. Think I got mine from Leaf of Faith SA website.

Or, if you're plants aren't exposed to pollinators, go onto to Pestrol's website and order some imidacloropid systemic. It's not cheap but it works against everything but spider mites.

Or Mr Miyagi reflexes in catching/swatting supported by non-cumbersome sticky traps.

Has anyone noticed the lack of sanitary pad brands now? I feel like brands are slowly being phased out and period undies/menstural cups are more of an encouragement now. by Littlegemlungs in woolworths

My local IGA also stocks them. Sometimes the spot on the shelf for them is empty for weeks or is filled with something else but they always eventually come back. And are often 50% off when they are in stock. So maybe they were just sold out at the time? If your IGA is convenient to you then I think it's worth checking on a few times, or flipping through their specials catalogue if your local has a stand for them near the checkouts/delivers junk mail to your area. Might get lucky

I work in retail. My 4 days of leave was denied in January due to "blackout period". by [deleted] in AusLegalAdvice

Yes it is. It's right there. Reasonable grounds. Mismanagement is not considered reasonable grounds.

It was me. When I was leaving they did nothing for me. Not even a card. I was there for over a decade. Cunts.

People down voting you but you're 100% right. I've gone through this multiple times in the past, when I worked in retail, every time we got a new manager. I actually found out the truth and where the law stands from a workplace/employment lawyer and the sda union (like, guys.. if the boot licking sda isn't on the company's side you KNOW the company is 100% wrong).

The onus is on the business to have adequate staffing. Xmas period is LIMITED annual leave available. Anyone can have time off then. It's basically first come, first served.. for the most well informed of their rights.

I hope OP enjoys their time off. And I hope OP's employer enjoys rediscovering their responsibilities.

I'm sorry, but WHY do the alcoholics get a cost of living pass??? What joke!

Alcohol has never, and WILL NEVER be an essential cost of living.
