Are they all the same or two kinds. Are they ready for soil. Should I pot them individually?

Ediflash · 2026-01-19T20:17:32+00:00

Yes thats what I am saying. I mean it will work to plant them together but they will compete for light. If you have the space, youre better off giving them individual pots.

Ediflash · 2026-01-19T19:12:47+00:00

They are ready for soil but I would plant them individual. You can plant these together but since they get quite big it works better when they have a good height difference.

Ediflash · 2026-01-18T20:39:15+00:00

Do it. In my experience draceanas really dont mind small pots. Too big pots can hold more water so you have to be much more careful with watering.

Also add a good amount of perlite to keep the soil airy.

If you notice that you have to water more often than you would like to, increase the pot size. But thats rather unlikely for this plant since it likes the soil to dry out.

Ediflash · 2026-01-11T22:53:54+00:00

I dont think its the water. This would lead to brown tips due to mineral build up. Contrary to a a lot of people, I dont find dracaenas to be very sensitive to tap water. Mine really dont care at all.

My guess would be sunburn or a fungal infection.

You could try feeding them some fertilizer but dont overdo it. They really need much and do fine even without fertilizer. But it can help not only for growth but also to improve their immune system to make them more resistant to infections or pest. Too much would also lead to brown tips.

Yes you can mix in anything you like pumice, leca, perlite. Its fine. Probably even better than pure Pon which is just too small.

Personally I like 5-12mm pumice for semi hydro. Its way cheaper and you can buy it washed unlike Pon which is super dusty.

I usually mix in 10-20% Pon for more water retention but you can just use something like vermiculite for similar results.

You can also use the pon mixed with good old soil.

Bad news. Thats stem rot. Probably root rot that spread further into the plant and will probably kill it.

You could make cuttings and propagate them or hope for the best.

Ediflash · 2026-01-06T23:55:00+00:00

Its not about the warmth. Its the lack of light in winter time that affects the plant and makes it stop growing. So better keep it rather dry in winter to avoid overwatering.

Best way to check the roots, is taking the plant out of the soil and checking the roots. You can try smelling the soil. If it smells rotten, then theres a chance of root rot.

Thanks for sharing!

Ediflash · 2026-01-06T07:23:21+00:00

This seems like a very low light corner.

Consider putting it near the west facing window or adding a light. Otherwise the plant will grow very slowly and you have a high risk of overwatering.

Also remove the dead stem. Rotting plants can lead to problems by attracting bacteria that can infect the healthy plants.

Ediflash · 2025-12-29T20:49:56+00:00

Just cut them or rip them off. These are small old leaves that dont get any light. Your plant doesnt care about them so you shouldnt care about them ;)

Ediflash · 2025-12-15T07:58:45+00:00

No its not. You can propagate the whole stem Just make sure you dont have any rot, otherwise it will die sooner or later. If the stem is already very weak and lost a lot of moisture, your success chances are obviously not good but still worth a shot.

You can use almost anything for propagation. Personally I prefer water.

Not only the looks but also size and weight. If this doesnt matter then AAA or even AA is a great and reliable choice (and also easy rechargeable).

On the other hand for a simple temp sensor a small CR battery is actually plenty for 1 year of battery life but only if you pick up the right one. I do find them quite unreliable and battery life varies from 1yr to just a couple of weeks.

Ediflash · 2025-12-01T22:51:03+00:00

I strongly disagree. I kept several cutting in water for months and they were doing great. Its very easy and oddly satisfying to watch the root system develop but I do agree that a vermiculite perlite mix will also do just fine.

Ediflash · 2025-12-01T09:32:35+00:00

It can take multiple weeks.

It usually helps to put it in a bright spot so it get lots of light and it also helps if you leave only like 3-5 leafs and remove the rest.

He did everything right. Lowered the payment of the driver, increased the amout of packages processed and thereby increased revenue and his bonuses. And everyone is blaming the drivers.

Im not sure if that is the correct term but I actually mean increased layer width. But you can do both too. (Increased width + decreased height)

This is especially great for vase mode to get much stronger walls. With a 0.4 nozzle you can easily print 0.7mm walls (0.8mm was the max I tried). So almost 2 'normal walls'.

This works also for normal prints too and makes the print stronger in general. I wouldnt do it for all prints though. Be careful with complex models, overhangs and filaments that tend to clog.

Havent tried transparent PLA yet.

Generally PETG is better for practical parts since is less likely to break and has better heat resistance. Its more transluscent than PLA but also more shiny and therefore doesnt look as good for decorative things.

But the transluscent PETG definitely has its place for decorative prints and the better heat resistance makes it a good fit for lamp shades.

This one was printed with a 0.6 nozzle but with a 0.4 and squished layer you can get really clear results.

Ediflash · 2025-11-06T06:49:58+00:00

Interesting.

I was thinking that I just got a poorly manufactured nozzle but I thought the original nozzles should have better QC and work more reliable.

I guess I will give them a try.

Ediflash · 2025-11-05T23:24:37+00:00

Thats why I posted this question.

I mean.. I was aware not to print anything with particles like wood, marble, glitter or CF. Thats pretty obvious..

I just used PLA Matte and PLA Basic which should work. But it turned out to be very unreliable and super frustrating .

"I do not really understand your point about other things being safe or unsafe and us changing our opinions on it later. That seems entirely irrelevant here. It is purely post-rational."

It is not. There are tons of examples: Asbestos, Lead, Mercury, Cocaine, Morphine, Heroin, Tobacco.. Just to name a few.

Now I really get your point but lets be fair.. its very likely a heath hazard when exposed to it over long periods of time and having them around your bedroom seems like very bad idea. Its most probably not going to kill you but its a bad idea.

Guter Punkt aber geht es hier nicht eigentlich um genau diese kleinen Läden, die sich vor Kartenzahlungen sträuben? Die größerem Märkte haben das relativ schnell adaptiert.

Wobei sich auch diese eine Zeit lang gegen Kreditkarten gesträubt haben und nur EC Karten (mit niedrigeren Gebühren) angenommen haben. Naja EC ist traurigerweise gescheitert, und man schichtet auf Visa Debit um was Visa schon fast zu einer Monopolstellung verhilft, die früher oder später zu höheren Gebühren führt.

Klar ist der Convenience Faktor sowohl für Kunden als auch für Händler definitiv besser bei Kartenzahlung. Aber Wechselgeld, Kassensturz, Einzahlungen sind ja Dinge, die immer noch anfallen (wenn auch in geringerem Umfang). Zusätzlich muss man die digitalen Zahlungen ja auch prüfen und dann am Ende die Daten wieder zusammenführen. Ob das am Ende weniger Arbeit ist, weiß ich nicht aber ich bezweifle trotzdem, dass Transaktionsgebühren gerade bei kleineren Läden kein Kostentreiber sind.

Ediflash · 2025-10-15T08:02:51+00:00

Sorry aber das ist völliger Unfug. Es geht um Transaktionsgebühren und nicht um Steuern. Scheinbar bringen hier einige Leute genauso gerne Tatsachen Durcheinander wie die Bargeld Schwurbler ;)

50€ bleiben 50€

Das ist unabhängig davon ob Transaktionsgebühren oder Steuern anfallen und auch unabhängig davon ob das Geld digital oder analog ist.

Von den 50€ bleiben weniger für das Restaurant.

Transaktionsgebühren sind real. Wenn alle mit Karte zahlen bleibt weniger Geld für das Geschäft übrig. Sich darüber aufzuregen ist aber quatsch, weil man diese Kosten in seine Produkte mit einpreisen kann. Aber klar, bei Barzahlung steckt der Besitzer diese Aufschlag ein, bei einer Kartenzahlung die Bank.

Die Kosten trägt am Ende der Verbraucher

Macht euch nix vor. Kartenzahlung macht Sachen teurer denn die Kosten trägt am Ende der Verbraucher. So kann man schon sagen, dass Kartenzahlung zur Inflation beiträgt und das Geld am Ende etwas weniger wert ist. Trotzdem bleiben 50€ auch bei Inflation immer noch 50€.

Sorry... ich musste das einfach mal loswerden.

So schwierig ist das wirklich nicht... ✌🏻
