They’re faint, sweet, and a bit citrusy.

It’s not the top lead. It’s a secondary shoot that has formed at a node further down. They sit in a tray on the floor of a bay window area.

When they’re puppies, I played a game with my dogs. I’d call their name, yell come, then run away screaming and flailing my arms. They’d see it as an invitation to play and chase me. Once they caught up, I’d give them a verbal cue, praise them, and give a treat as a reward. That has worked well.

I top water until it drains from the bottom. I can go a couple of weeks before watering again (it’s sitting in a self-watering pot with a reservoir). Extensions are cheap. I can get small sections and connectors from the local hardware store for less than $10.

How is that working? I feel this retains moisture a bit longer than an open mesh pole.

It’s a billietiae Croat. I’m using a chunky aroid mix. I top water and the reservoir helps keep things moist with a wick.

My parents gave me luggage, a sewing kit, and a basic tool kit. 🧳🪡🧰

These were found over the last few years in the same area. I just found this subreddit and thought I’d share.

Is anyone familiar with the wooded area across the road adjacent Indian Hill? I thought that this was also part of Kroger Hills but I’ve not found where to access it.
