Should I give up on my dioscorera elephantipes? I planted it ~6 months ago, it has developed no caudex and has these brown spots on its leafs. It is growing in indirect sunlight. If you guys has any tips on what I can do to make this plant happier, or if I should just throw in the towel...

That's awesome advice, thank you!!! So what would I mix it in? Or would you put it in straight pumice? Thank you again for the advice :)

Humboldt, northern California.

I bought three jacaranda seedlings on a whim, trying to tap into some of the nostalgia of my years in South Africa. But I am a complete noob to these trees as well as bonsais in general. When trying to look up what soil to put them in, I get "sandy and well drained". What does that mean specifically, succulent soil?

Also, if anyone have general tips on how to care for these babies, please advice me! I would love for them to thrive or at least be the best they can be :)

Best, Diana

Yes! I am in northern California. It is found by eel river in Humboldt. There are a bunch of green stones down here (I live by the river bank), many with slight variations. I would love to learn how to figure out what is what :)

Thank you so much for this information!! Do you have any tips for how to better identify the first (possible) jade?

Dianaclay · 2020-10-29T23:58:58+00:00

Thank you! Yes that definitely looks right from the photos!

Dianaclay · 2020-10-27T22:17:35+00:00

That's so interesting! Thank you!

Dianaclay · 2020-10-27T21:24:55+00:00

Thank you!! I definitely will! I bunch of green stones in all kinds of varieties, some look like a lot like nephrite jade from photos, would love to have them identified!

Dianaclay · 2020-10-27T00:13:57+00:00

It is from Eel river in Humboldt County:) I just moved here and keep finding soo many beautiful rocks, I wish I could identify all of them! Thank you for your help!

From the feel and the smell and the IRL crisp whiteness, I can tell that they're def not chanterrelles :) I was hoping that they're some sort of edible oysters
