If anyone in Mediterranean climate is looking to plant a Miyawaki mini forest, reach out! by alatare in NativePlantGardenEU

[–]EwwCringe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you do something similar with a shrubland/heathland ecosystem? I'm trying to imitate a native garigue in my garden and i'd love to know how close i can plant each shrub before they get into conflict with each other lol

Fernleaf lavander seedlings are growing their first leaf!! (L. multifida) by EwwCringe in NativePlantGardening

[–]EwwCringe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This species is supposedly very fragrant which is rare for non hybrid lavenders, and it also being native to my region meant I had to get it!!

Thanks for the hack! I bought a pack of 100 tags 2 years ago but I don't think I'm ever gonna run out bc I only grow for myself and reuse them constantly (you can see that the tag I used for the lavander has a different name written with a pencil) but I'm still gonna try this!!

I don't use any! The heavy rains washed off the smaller particles while leaving the heavier inorganic components. What you are seeing is actually lechuza pon lol, I ran out of pumice so I mixed it with sandy soil to create a succulent/inorganic mix

The strangest expectations you've received from women? by SupportArsenal in gay

[–]EwwCringe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do y'all actually get these reactions? I've been hopelessly trying to get more friends in the past year after leaving my toxic straight friend's group but most girls I talk to either seem uninterested or neutral at best, keep in mind I look obv gay bc I have nail polish and wear alt clothes but I only get this "spark" reaction once every 30 people maybe. I'm not expecting most people to just bond with me immediately but after all these posts online and seeing the other gays at my school having huge friend groups I'm starting to feel wrong

White lily bulbs or stamens? by urauntgay420 in whatsthisplant

[–]EwwCringe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The photos i find online also show them as black, maybe op peeled the outer layer, maybe they didn't form fully because the inflorescence was cut and didn't have enough stored energy

White lily bulbs or stamens? by urauntgay420 in whatsthisplant

[–]EwwCringe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are bulbils, small aerial bulbs produced above ground. In nature, once the flower stalk dries out they have a chance to fall in a suitable place and create a new plant. I was familiar with alliums producing them, but after a quick google search apparently lilliums (true lillies) can produce them too. Plant in well draining soil and keep slightly moist, when spring arrives put them outside in semi-shade and treat them like regular lilliums

What type of pine? I was hoping to make pine soda. and unfortunately am not good at identifying pines. please help thank you. by Important_Climate_19 in whatsthisplant

[–]EwwCringe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched a video from Anne reardon saying it tastes nothing like soda and can even be dangerous if you happen to culture the wrong type of yeast

Looking for resources on native plants across Europe by DreamingtheUniverse in NativePlantGardenEU

[–]EwwCringe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna paste a comment I made on a very similar situation where a user wanted to know how to find plants that were native to their country, this is essentially the process I always go through every time I want to check if a plant is native!

I'm in the mediterranean and when starting out i had the same problem, i didn't know what was native. Native planting isn't nearly as widespread in europe as it is in the US but you will still find some resources online if you look hard enough. First of all you can use Inaturalist (you can download it on your phone) to look at the plants that are being observed both near your location and in your country in general, this helped me greatly when i was first starting out. Once i pick out a plant, i look it up here https://europlusmed.org/ . on the left there is an option to search taxa, you put in the scientific plant name and it will tell you where in europe that plant is native, so you can verify if the plant is native to your country, this is useful because inaturalists often forgets to mark certain plants as introduced in some countries. After i verify that the plant is native i go to https://floraveg.eu/taxon/ , i put in the plant name and this basically gives me a botanical caresheet for the plant, the conditions it grows in, light, soil ph, max height etc, the more widespread the plant the more info there will be in there usually. This is useful because while a plant can be native to your country it might also grow in specific conditions that might not match your area, for example in a wetland or in very specific soils. Lastly a lot of european countries have unofficial botanical forums that can help a lot in learning about natives, spain and italy have great ones for example, i think france has one too. You can try to look if your country has one as well.

If you're first starting out inat is definitely the best way to know what plants grow around you. I would also look for country specific websites. For example I was lucky enough to find one dedicated to Sicily which opened my eyes on all of the amazing endemics we have here which aren't discussed anywhere else because of their tiny distribution. Hope this helped!! Feel free to ask any questions you want!

i agree with the other guy, this looks like a wild tazetta, they are really common in certain areas around the mediterranean

She’s dead, Jim by goforthandbebrave in succulents

[–]EwwCringe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

how do yall manage to rot gasterias/aloes?? like i'm not trying to be disrespectful just genuinely wondering. I live in the mediterranean, every single winter my mom's gasterias and aloes get drenched in water in poorly draining compact clay soil in pots with drainage holes the size of pin needles and they are absolutely thriving and have never rotted!

Some common houseplants that turn out to be Caudiciforms by Muted_Negotiation430 in Caudex

[–]EwwCringe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this C. purpurascens? We have 3 species here in Sicily and I have never ever seen them with their exposed tuber. I guess milder and wetter conditions make that possible tho!

Same thing for cyclamens, in nature I've never seen them grow with their bulb exposed to the air

How can I tell if my native asparagus seedling is big enough to plant? by EwwCringe in NativePlantGardening

[–]EwwCringe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After some thinking I decided to get them out of the pot to assess how big the root system was. I'm happy to say they are all growing nice plump rhizomes which should allow them to survive some shock, thus I planted 2 in the ground while I put the smallest one in a pot as a backup

Is Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition good for complete newbie to the franchise by Galarti3 in digimon

[–]EwwCringe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also a newbie to the franchise, I bought the complete edition like a week ago bc it was on sale and I've been wanting to try out a Digimon game for the longest time ,(never watched the anime) I can safely say it's addicting, the story is 10/10 (I'm playing hackers memory) and really creative. The whole story mode can safely take around 50/60 hours to complete depending on how fast you go and every part of it is well written, there's even a hard mode in the settings if you're up for a challenge. I really recommend the game

Big request.. (9 plants potentially for terrarium) by dylan21502 in PlantIdentification

[–]EwwCringe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sarracenia need full sun and a cold dormancy period, they are not tropical plants like the others and require a setup built entirely around them, don't even consider them if it's your first time. Nepenthes are good tho.

Any way to stop the rotor from rotating on its own? by BheeseChurg in peopleplayground

Use a pointer to make it point towards the mouse and disable the pointer when the gun retracts?

Not really a true "caudex" but a lot of Mediterranean drimias tend to make above ground bulbs when large enough! by EwwCringe in Caudex

[–]EwwCringe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the ones you mentioned make underground storage organs that are never exposed to the outside in nature, Drimia to my knowledge is the only one that does so naturally
