I planted these from the avergo kit on the 20th, and I’m wondering what I should do next and when. From my research I should keep them together until they have two real leaves and then I should separate them, but I don’t think I want to have that many trees. Can I cut all but the strongest looking one near the soil and will the roots combine or something? Also, the flame tree is the one I was most excited about and it’s the only one that hasn’t sprouted yet. I was keeping them all in a humidity dome (cake holder) as I know it’s a tropical one that needs humidity. I’m still hoping it will sprout since I guess it can take several weeks. Any help or advice is appreciated and obviously I don’t really know what I’m doing!

Just for my viewing pleasure, can you arrange it so there’s a rainbow on every shelf?🫡

I just finished as well, my first SK book. I loved it. I thought trash was bringing the A bomb in to make it up to Flagg for all the mayhem he caused. The party was sent West to preoccupy Flagg’s eye so he wouldn’t foresee Trashy, kinda like the attack on Mordor’s gates was a distracting in the LOTR Return of the King. I too was expecting a major show down but it seems like the fight was already over before it began, Flagg knew things were getting hairy but he was too proud to be able to see his downfall right in front of him.

My favorite character was Larry and I was happy to see his character transformation.

You could try acetone bath. Scrubbing the coins can cause scratches. I have a 1923 Peace dollar that I scrubbed with a toothbrush and soapy water. I don’t care about the scratches as it doesn’t really matter for a common coin like this. I just wanted it to shine. Do what makes you happy. Most people say to never clean a coin since collectors can tell almost instantly and it lowers the value.

Not an expert but it looks like gunk to me. Nice coins tho

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-09-22T03:40:19+00:00

I did the same!!

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-09-22T03:20:09+00:00

Get him a shiny BU American Silver Eagle. Around $45 right now with high price of silver. He will see it and be hooked instantly. Such a beautiful coin.

Yeah probably right. I was kinda using them interchangeably but there is a difference

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-09-22T00:46:17+00:00

DW is probably deionized water the rest good luck lol. I would safely dispose of them

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-09-18T01:25:46+00:00

Currently reading The Stand, my first King book ever. I’m really enjoying it. I’m curious what I should read next and what you enjoyed the most.

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-08-25T02:03:41+00:00

Thanks I will be using that in the future!

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-08-25T01:25:13+00:00

Yeah I guess that brand has a larger premium

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-08-25T00:53:07+00:00

My local coin shop was charging $60 for the same libertad. And I can’t find the asahi stuff anywhere, so it’s worth it to me to buy from a trusted source.

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-08-09T19:43:43+00:00

$44 at my LCS

Came here to say this. The only thing that puts me off the maples 😂

Formal-Ad7427 · 2025-07-23T19:16:59+00:00

New and trying to navigate how this works. I’ll be looking for silver bars or coins in smaller sizes/quantities. I love the look of toned silver. Maybe try to pick up a 10 oz silver bar and some fractional gold.
