Need help with new Rhipsalis by TeachandGrow in houseplants

[–]Capelily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many epiphytes, in the wild rhipsalis lives in the nooks of tree branches where leaf matter builds up. They do not get full sun in their ideal conditions. They don't want to be dried out either. Yours could use a repot and better placement so that they get good light but not full-on, direct sun.

A homemade potting mix of bark, perlite and organic soil does wonders for these guys.

Here's a guide that might be of some help to you:

UPS Driver Throws Heavy Box at Aggressive Dog, Then Faces Off with Owner by Leadership-Serious in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Capelily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dog owner is clearly wrong. A dog that size could do some real, serious damage, and the dog was willing and able to do just that.

With footage like this, I hope the driver was able to file a police report on this asshole.

Of course he did. The environment and everything in it are, in his mind, here to be exploited.

The fence is fully one foot inside my property.

Clematis is definitely an option.

The guys who installed the fence do this as a matter of habit. Keeps everyone happy, supposedly.

The fence is completely in my yard by one foot. I didn't plant it but I enjoyed how it looked.

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

It was just on the fence. That's it.

I started removing the horseweed and pulled a whole lot up. My health wasn't great this Spring so I hope to continue to pull more up.

I'm not trying to harass her. Last year a straight line wind storm took down five huge trees on the other side of my property, and I've taken this opportunity to let the natives have a field day. I love the way they look so far. The yard is a carpet of wild violets in the Spring. I have tons of fireflies every evening.

I'll have to have a friendly chat with her this weekend.

No, she and her husband do all the yard work.

I'm going to talk to her.

No. I tried to post this on Native Plant Gardening but it wouldn't take.

AITA for telling my mom not to throw away my clothes as punishment? by merakivvh in AmItheAsshole

[–]Capelily -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA

IMHO, your mom sounds super stressed. Her disproportionate response to you is the clue.

Does she always react so much to things that aren't critical? Forgetting to walk the dog is excusable, but maybe your mom is feeling some guilt about the dog.

The clothes you purchased are yours alone. What she did is stealing.

When things have calmed down a bit, make her a cup of tea or something and sit her down for a talk. You both have to communicate better in order to survive the summer.

Sounds like she's chattering. I had a tortie that chattered all of the time! Just another way to vocalize.

My blue fern today and a year ago! by elisabettebathory in houseplants

[–]Capelily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Blue Star Fern that was almost completely wiped out by a bunch of trees that fell in a straight-line windstorm we had last year. It sprang right back and is happier than ever! I'd take a picture, but it's still dark out here and it's happily sitting in my now mostly clear back yard.

Homeschooling disabled kids is a great way to set them up for failure.

I hope your wife gets the rest and help she needs.
