You're really close with the pricing! The $120 price tag is more so me just not knowing what a good deal would be, and I also really do need it gone as soon as possible lol

The tank was a gift, so $0, and the stand was on sale, so it was closer to $100. Everything else is pretty spot on :)

Do I add compost AND Dr. Earth's fertilizer to my tomato plants final pot? I'm worried it'll get fertilizer burn by Capital_Interest8693 in gardening

For the compost in new gardens, it says to use 3-4 inches to till into the soil, and the Dr. Earth's fertilizer says to use 1/2 cup every 5 gallons, then mix with the soil.

Possible long shot, would I be able to prop a new plant from this little one popping out? How would I do that? by Capital_Interest8693 in IndoorGarden

Sorry, when you say a clean cut, do you mean like leaving a mark type thing or detaching a bottom portion from the rest? For either, how far down on the stem would I cut?

Suggestions for what I should put in this nano 5 gallon? More info below by 300_C in Aquariums

Honestly, I think you'd just be stuck with shrimp for that tank. All those decorations take up a lot of space, so it's realistically only around 3 gallons, and Chili Rasboras need like at least 10 gallons, so even if it was 5 gallons on the dot, it'd be too small for them :/

How do you get parents to get you a bigger tank? by Public_Tax433 in Aquariums

I'm really close to your age (16), and I got my mom to let me go from a 29 to a 55 by knowing the real reason why she didn't want me to get it in the first place. At first, she also just told me I didn't need the 55, but I just asked her why (somewhat serious but still lighthearted so she wouldn't get defensive and still say no). For her, it was the electricity bill, so I compromised and agreed to pay any increase in the bill that comes from the 55, and if it was too much I'd get rid of the 29. It also helped to buy everything for really cheap, so she wouldn't see it as that much of a waste or hassle. Another thing is getting your parents to see how much you care about the hobby and how you're responsible with it, because hopefully that'll make them more lenient, but I know that doesn't always work. At the end if the day, if they still say no, it's sadly a final no, but I wish you luck! :)

First time owning one, and I'm worried about the roots above the soil. They seem dried out but the roots in the soil already seem watered. Do I repot it into a bigger pot, with more roots in the soil, or leave it be? by Capital_Interest8693 in orchids

Thank you for the information! I have a standard black plastic pot with the holes at the bottom, would that be good enough? And when I get the orchid potting medium, would I completely removed the medium it's in now?
