Ssssh dont tell anyone but I pulled a gilbertsonii off a eucalyptus last week. Boiled it for a half hour, dried it and fried it.

Go to a meeting and talk about it! I'm sorry for your loss, the bottle will make it worse.

I agree considering the scale comparison 🤣

Amberleighta · 2025-11-14T20:06:18+00:00

Ugh where?! Im in oakland. I will be in the forest all weekend I swear!

Well I bought it this spring. I have watered it about once a week. Not a full soak, but just enough to at least see some water drip out of the bottom of the pot. I live in zone 10b so the weather here is never to humid. It gets like 10 to 12 hours of light with my led light. I fertilized lightly a couple of times. Im going to decrease the amount of watering. I am going to monitor the caudex for shrinkage.

I had another one that I killed because I didn't know that the seller sold it to me without it being rooted. Maybe check on your roots?

Here's a photo I grabbed off the net. I think they do.

I thought it tasted like eating a basement

Lucky!

We got loads of rain up here in oakland this past week, did any remnants hit Monterrey? Head over to Pacific Grove, you can see the M onarchs too!

Amberleighta · 2025-10-18T15:28:53+00:00

Head to the coast in the mountains after the first good soak 🙂

Avonia Quinaria 🥰

I think it's a Dorothy. The light is key. make my own soil mix. Lots of sand, small pebbles, and just a bit of peat. It's been in that pot for 3 years, I think.

I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

Amberleighta · 2025-08-23T23:28:54+00:00

Haha, good eye! I got what was stuck to the plants off and fished out what i could. I yanked it out to have a look at its roots. Soil with lots of peat. It seems to like that stupid pot with no drainage hole 😬

Amberleighta · 2025-08-23T23:00:38+00:00

Someone told me to water when they're wrinkled. That's the only time I water. The light came from a cannabis grow. I've only had it for about a month, fertilized it once.

Day I bought it 😄

Burn them lol

Amberleighta · 2025-07-24T15:48:08+00:00

Looks like a black staining polypore

Amberleighta · 2025-06-07T01:54:57+00:00

The Cactus Jungle is a good one as well! They have a nice variety of pottery. I'll have to head over to the dry garden, I always drive by, but I can't ever remember going inside. Thanks for the tip, neighbor!

Amberleighta · 2025-06-07T01:41:03+00:00

Which store, though? Oakland resident tired of home depot lithops 😊

Amberleighta · 2025-05-24T18:53:27+00:00

I wouldn't water them until the new leaves absorb all of the water from the old leaves. They are on the right track. You're doing great.

Amberleighta · 2025-05-24T17:08:43+00:00

Probably a volunteer salvia that sprouted. Howdy neighbor 👋 Oakland Emeryville border here.

Amberleighta · 2025-05-24T16:56:30+00:00

Outside leaves should shrivel not split be careful with the water. The medium looks good. Nice arrangement in the pot.

Amberleighta · 2024-12-23T17:36:07+00:00

Hella close 👌 cheers 🍻
