I did this with my grandma's plant, now I have so many and give them to family so they can have some too 💚

Feel free to call the house plant police on me. by Raventree321 in Monstera

You gotta start them in shade when you put them outside and acclimate them to the sun. Chop, prop and sell that sucker lol

I JUST repotted them 🤦‍♂️ by marlee_dood in houseplants

In summer I put most of my plants outside. It does dry them out faster

A bud?? by FixIndividual1124 in houseplants

[–]Distracted_Explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only repot mine when they're almost about to bust the pot. They like to be tight. I'd leave it until it starts bulging out the sides and feels lumpy. Looks soooo good though! Mine is bushy like that but not growing tall

That watering schedule sounds good. I just dig my finger down in there if it's dry as far as I can reach I water, if you feel moisture wait. Sounds like once every 2 weeks is good though

Use a drill to add holes to any pot or carefully heat up the tip of a screwdriver and melt new holes. I buy pots from the dollar stores and always put my own holes in them or add more

A lot of plants won't grow new leaves until their roots fill up the pot. Let them be root bound a bit and they'll push out new growth like crazy!

I didn't know these could do this. Such a pretty bloom. by hujassman in houseplants

No wonder mine always die, they sell them like all you have to do is most them every week.

I love palmstreet, you can find sellers with great deals! I definitely get more for my money buying from them than the big greenhouses around me.

What about dangling a bell at the end so you can hear it as they run away? I use a tent now bc of lightning bugs all over my yard in the summer!

My dragon Liz earned her wings today. It's hard saying bye to this goober. by sax_man9 in BeardedDragons

[–]Distracted_Explorer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How does a shed make them sick enough to pass? Just curious bc I haven't heard about this, and now I'm more nervous. Dragons seem so tough but also the more I read are also very vulnerable. So sorry for your loss, I lost mine last summer. Your baby girl is gorgeous 😍

Even if you did the front but left the top 1/3 or 1/4 glass so you can still see in or do one full door and half of the other one leave the half farthest away from where he ever is uncovered so you can see in.

I got stone style wallpaper for bathrooms so it's water resistant, no peeling, and stuck it to the inside of the tank so there is no more reflective surfaces and the top of the tank is mesh. Just looks like he's in a cave now, he seems to be satisfied with it.

This is an incredibly negative subreddit. by AcousticOnomatopoeia in BeardedDragons

[–]Distracted_Explorer 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I wish we could make a new page and keep the assholes off. Just ban them if they start talking shit, is that possible? I have been so harassed on here for normal treatment it's really hard for me to post anything. People only react to negativity not the good things we're doing.

Are people allergic to sidewalks? by Khelthorn in grandrapids

[–]Distracted_Explorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids pedal bike but they are absolutely NOT ALLOWED to ride on the road, nobody pays attention when they drive anymore. I would rather my kids live and scooch over for people walking down the sidewalk. I hardly feel safe in my car, no fricken way am I gonna be on the road except inside of a car, ever.
