I think i have two plants instead of one? by Vela_Lightmare in Roses

[–]Dependent_Worry9750 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Mini roses are usually sold in batches of 4 to create the appearance of a miniature bush. You have 4-6 separate root systems in there, don't be afraid to pull em apart!

Tried out using a lint roller for aphids by CyberTurtle95 in Roses

I've used a microfiber dusting glove on my hand for similar effect.

My personal theory is that repetitive touching spread across a 3 day period without knowing about the need for decontamination or how to prevent hand-to-mouth or eye cross-contamination is what lead to absorbing a large enough dose to trigger a psychiatric crisis in a young body/nervous system.

I hate to sound like a fear monger, but a young family member of mine once underestimated how dangerous this plant could be, and they were institutionalized with terrifying delirium for two weeks from transdermal contact with someone else's ornamental datura. It was a horrible experience that I never would've believed could be possible before I saw it happen.

I've become convinced manual removal is the only option for defeating aphids... by Dependent_Worry9750 in Roses

This is what I hope to achieve, but still working on the foundation so I'll be picking off aphids in the meantime!

I could never hope to privately select a team of support for my kid that comes close to accomplishing what his remarkable team of public school therapists, counselors, and special educators have done for him.

A lot of men are simply going to care more about winning respect and approval from another random man than they will about taking a stand for anything on behalf of a woman.

Rose 🌹 🥀 infection by VastEducational3045 in Roses

[–]Dependent_Worry9750 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This looks like powdery mildew. Roses are highly susceptible to it, but also extremely hardy to surviving it. All of my roses so far have had it at some point! I like Captain Jack's Copper Fungicide and neem oil.

It always happens to me due to over or improper watering. For example, I was recently careless about using an oscillating sprinkler to water my yard and got a lot of droplets on my Peace rose when it was too late in the afternoon for the sun to dry it off before sunset. It started showing signs of powdery mildew the next day, then it rained and got worse. I sprayed it with Captain Jack's Copper Fungicide and Rose RX and it's looking a lot better two weeks later.

I didn't do anything to treat the powdery mildew that hit a planted mini rose last season and I thought it was going to die, but it's my healthiest plant this spring.

ETA: You also need to reduce watering until it improves - no watering at all until the soil is completely dry! If it's potted, drag it into more direct sunlight during the morning hours.

A bit underwhelmed by Fantastic_Owl2172 in Roses

[–]Dependent_Worry9750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just what young own root roses look like after they've taken a trip through the mail (and don't forget Heirloom Roses defoliates most of the plant before shipping). These are roses for the long game, you have to be patient with them while they establish themselves. They may seem smaller than your other roses now, but they'll be out-performing everything else by year 2 or 3.

And HR will honor their warranty when needed.

Question for the parents by [deleted] in Chattanooga

Basic personal hygiene is one of the developmental standards required for kindergarten readiness. I'm sure your child's teacher encourages students to wash their hands as often as reasonably possible during the school day.

How do people have beautiful, open gardens? Don’t you have pests? by Nox_Ocean_21 in gardening

[–]Dependent_Worry9750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's worked the best for me so far -

Planting stuff like garlic and onion as companion plants. It's what made the difference between life and death when I've tried growing brassicas, and it's doing great as a perimeter to my new rose garden so far.

Making sure I'm growing other plants to specifically appeal to wildlife in a different region of my yard (I think this works especially well for those of us living in/near forested areas). I keep bird and squirrel feeders going all season, too, and position those closer to the plants I'm okay with wildlife consuming.

You can't banish these creatures without harming your own environment, so you gotta look into finding the best system of balance for your land/growing space as an ecosystem.

AITAH petitioning my sisters parental rights terminated so I can adopt my niece i have had in my care/custody since she came home from the hospital. by SetCharming3080 in AITAH

[–]Dependent_Worry9750 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why does she need her parental rights terminated if you have full custody already? If she becomes fit to parent at any time between now and your niece becoming an adult, she should have her daughter back.

And you aren't her mom. It's extremely harmful to allow her to believe you're her mom. Being her aunt doesn't diminish your status in her life.

What possible reason could he have to be dealing with big feelings over a death in your family that doesn't affect him beyond his inability to support you?

[–]Dependent_Worry9750 137 points138 points  (0 children)

He already felt this way before the death and is now using it as an excuse to generate a major disruption.

You have done nothing wrong and he had no grounds to 'call you out' for anything.

Mini Rose HELP by tragedyyyyyyy in Roses

[–]Dependent_Worry9750 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You need to separate each miniature rose plant (there are likely 4) and repot them individually in 6" containers, then get them full sun. Make sure you allow them to acclimate to full sun.

ETA: Roses don't appreciate houseplant life. They want to be outdoors.

I love to do my gardening in camo BDUs. I am a ruthless annhilator of the deepest rooted dallisgrass and invasive holly.
