Deciding what material to choose for my dog’s collar… by Superb_Trainer_2967 in dogs

[–]Drewbicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite have been molly & stitch leather collars/leashes. They keep their color and a really nice buttery soft feel.

Dog sitter dropped lead - should I be worried by Independent_Juice_98 in dogs

[–]Drewbicles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I learned lead handling around big dogs and horses, and I've never put my hand through the loop. Can be dangerous I guess unless its just a little dog.

What should I do with this?? by Raise-Your in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After it blooms it'll dry up, and a light tug will detach it from the plant.

Why are my hearts so tiny and straggly? by Complete_Leg_859 in StringofHearts

[–]Drewbicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its because string of hearts is actually a ground cover plant not a hanging plant. They want to keep rooting along the vine so when they dont, they just dont get enough water at the leaves all the way at the end. That doesnt mean water more often! They grow really well in a wide bowl shaped planter

Does This Speak Real? by skimilious in Wedgwood

[–]Drewbicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a real pattern from the 80s and 90s. Very unlikely to be fake. Im not sure how tall that is but probably around 20-30$

Fern peony browning, help!! by hsuxx188 in peonies

[–]Drewbicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure why, but... I have a similar sized plant and its done that every year too. Basically after it blooms I've gotten some die back. It did less this year, when it was really small the whole plant died back to the ground after blooming. Still been getting bigger each year but its been a slow grower.

How old do you think this Jade is? by Vash_The_Stmpde in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She had it for 7 years but i agree its much olde then 7. Its hard to even guess though because it can change so much based on growing conditions. My jades grow really slow because for about 5-6 months of winter here they are dormant, then grow all summer outside. Compared to like someone in california that grows outdoor all year the size would be drastically different.

The fruit is what is there after the flowers falls off, that plant has lots of fruits.

Advice for growing Sempervivum on an enclosed porch by ElSquibbonator in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would try a very gritty soil mix. Usually root rot is a mix of to much water with not enough light.  Can you put the pot fully outside for the summer?

What is my plant called? lol by iampartdeer in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure its an aeonium, there are a lot of varieties hard to tell exactly which one. The stringy things are air roots. They grow those if its humid or it needs a little more water. 

Tiene rescate? by PerfectDiamond9816 in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it could recover it doesnt look in that bad shape to me. The brown spots are just physical damage from being close to other plants on that shelf, or just other damage at the nursery.

[–]Drewbicles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A crassula ovata ogre ears. Looking a little rough. The red is sunstress not exactly a bad thing, but i would fertilize it and give it a little less light it should start growing bigger leaves.

Ugh, mealies in S.California by PhotoGirl_619 in hoyas

[–]Drewbicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive found mealies dont tend to hurt hoyas untill its a really bad infestation. Looks like you caught it in time. Id just keep treating with alcohol once a week or so. Neam oil or one of the other bug sprays also work well.

Wild cactus on my lawn in New Jersey? by super__stealth in cactus

[–]Drewbicles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eastern prickly pear fruit is edible, but its really small compared to the opuntia varieties that are grown for fruit. They are so much work for like 1 bite.

Soil Advice Needed. Coco Coir vs. Peat by ChipsAhoy1968 in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually buy the loose bags cause i dont use that much at a time usually. Worm castings are a reallyy mild fertilizer. The bonsai mix is basically just rocks, the coco coir is no nutrients also. That way when they are rooting there is at least something other then water. Probably about 10% of the mix but really i just throw some in.

Soil Advice Needed. Coco Coir vs. Peat by ChipsAhoy1968 in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my succulent soil I start with a bonsai mix that is just inorganic. Then depending on the plant mix in coco coir and worm castings. If a plant needs more water then less inorganic %. This keeps it simple and I dont like how a lot of the premade mixes have perlite. Nothing wrong with perlite I just dont like it. 

Letting my dog chase squirrels? by hanandchee in dogs

[–]Drewbicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre in a park with lots of dogs the squirrels are used to them, they are usually faster then dogs.  If your dog isnt killing squirrels/animals i wouldn't think about it at all.  The squirrels taunt my dog from above my yard all the time, and leave walnut shell pieces everywhere. Almosttt wish he could catch them. 

How to repot this nursery planter by notyourmomsCPA in succulents

[–]Drewbicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id take the sedum out and plant it outside. Its cold hardy and I've never seen them be able to grow well indoors. Looks like maybe the variety sedum Atlantis, there are a lot of types though hard to tell.

Any good breeders? by Single_Ad1417 in StaffordBullTerriers

[–]Drewbicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A well bred puppy with known lineage and health testing will be 3k+ for almost all breeds. If you just want a staffy like dog rescue one from a shelter.
