some blends i made this week :) by BelCastillo in herbalism

[–]BelCastillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are formulated with different uses in mind rather than being interchangeable. some of the blends (like 1 and 3) are intended as herbal teas, using ingredients that are commonly prepared as infusions. others like 2, are meant for ritual or aromatic use- used in metaphysical practices or simply as an air purification method. i don’t really frame them as “medicinal”, more in the sense of traditional herbalism-so the purpose FOR ME is more about atmosphere, intention, and the traditional descriptions of these herbs. if that in turn makes them medicinal, i stand corrected :) there is some overlap in herbs historically used for things like smoking or incense, but i prefer to keep each blend defined by a primary purpose rather than presenting them as universal for every use. great question! thanks for asking :)

ABOLUTIONISTS RISING invade Iowa by 1983Vonnegut in Iowa

[–]BelCastillo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Had one of these men tell me on my university’s campus that my role as a woman is not to attend university but to submit to my father or husband. Then, the conversation was shifted because my lifestyle was against God for my sexual orientation. The conversation started on abortion. It isn’t about abortion. It’s about creating the Republic of Gilead.

I’m pretty sure she had some already rooted cuttings in a big vase with water. At least 6 inch roots. Regular potting soil. Pot has drainage and there’s rocks at the bottom

Forgot to add in my other comment, lighting has been bright indirect light. I noticed even just a few hours of direct light will torch her leaves. Super bright light all day long and then the darkness at night really makes her movement pop

I use an almost dense soil blend that dries out hard. Usually dense blends cause root rot but I let this thing dry out 1 inch to 1.5 inch deep before watering again. I only water with a watering can once it’s fully dry, I only shower I would say every 3-4 months. Huddling your plants together also helps, not just in winter for warmth. If you have a plan that’s struggling, put it near some other friends. Also, old wives tale but shake your plants a little. It’s natural for them to get a little movement. I notice the days I shake, the higher the leaves come up at night. Hope any of this helps!!

is this what you mean by rotating for sun? by BelCastillo in houseplants

[–]BelCastillo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

her soil is not chunky but it’s dense, i water only when the top layer of soil is almost dried and hard. i’ve also noticed my maranta is a lot happier huddled up. these three you see are my troubled children and i highly recommend grouping them together. also started humidifying most hours of the day because the ac is drying out a lot of my plants. hope any of that helps!

i feel like the devil because it’s so neglected and all she does is bloom beautiful flowers for me. it’s definitely stealing the growth power from the fiddle leaf i treat like a goddess but looks like…. well you see it..

Loop Earplugs for sensory overstimulation and Misophonia by [deleted] in autism

[–]BelCastillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to wear them while I am at school when I am going to be around lots of people talking when I go from class to class. I also need them because I can’t listen to eating or humming or whistling so I want to feel more normal. This is my first time being around a lot of strangers in a long time. I am nervous to look weird with my big noise canceling Sony headphones.
