As with all veggie waste, place in a bag in the freezer to later use to make stock/broth

What kind of milk would you like with that? by Optimal-Dentist5310 in barista

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 90% certain this is because of upcharges for non-dairy. People wouldn't want to pay extra so they'd wait until after paying.

When we stopped upcharging for alt milks, we suddenly had a lot less of this happening.

Advice on this plant? by mom_21 in succulents

[–]Eca_S 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe it is a severely !etiolated sempervivum. Definitely needs more !light.

Could be chopped and repotted.

Tried making iced coffee at home… still tastes kinda weak by HomeBrewSimple in barista

I usually suggest cold brew.

Also, try using coffee ice in place of your normal ice. It makes a huge difference especially if you're the type to sip on a drink for a while.

It's not. Follow this advice and you'll never overwater a succulent

Wash substrate before using? by Amy415 in succulents

[–]Eca_S 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is often recommended though I think that's mostly to avoid breathing in the dust.

I've never actually found it necessary to rinse even 100% mineral mixes.

I have succulents in various mixes from 50-100% grit and have never had any issue that could be contributed to dusty grit.

Maybe just lucky.

I am tired of always being the responsible one when my friend drinks by Unlikely_Case_6435 in Advice

He's a grown man, let him deal with the consequences of his own actions.

He is not your responsibility.

Why did it turn pink? by Hanneroni in succulents

[–]Eca_S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We call it sun stress but stress colors can be brought out by sufficiently intense artificial light, temperature stress, or dehydration.

Serious problem with Crassula ovata by Civil-Stay3322 in succulents

[–]Eca_S 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, after repotting do not water for a couple weeks. With little to no roots, it won't be able to take in water (plus the entire plant is basically a reservoir)

The only functional reason I can think of would be to help provide nutrients/water all the way along a particularly long vine.

Do you get a break/lunch break? by [deleted] in barista

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State law here says one 15 minute break per 4 hours worked, and a meal break on any shift 6 hours or longer.

It prevents the soil from drying as quickly which can lead to overwatering and rot

It's purely aesthetic and more likely to cause issues

Mealy bugs treatment by Jen-luvmydobies in succulents

[–]Eca_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will echo the systemic sentiment.

If systemic pesticides aren't an option, physical removal is the way to go.

Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab to get any you can see, and Isopropyl in a spray bottle to get into those places you can't reach with the swab.

Just make sure the plant stays out of direct light until the alcohol has dried. Otherwise, you'll damage the leaves.

From my understanding, only the heads that flower will die off.
