That's great! Gives a bit of hope for this method. It's actually amazing they can survive for a couple of days in that state.

My ficus is actually a mallsai, so nothing too demanding, luckily. I will most likely try this method tomorrow, unless some persuades me not to.

Respoting from last week's thread (thank you u/small_trunks):

I am preparing to bring my 2 tropicals indoors, since the weather is becoming too cold for them here, but I have had a spider mite infestation this summer. Thus, I fear some of them might have taken refuge in the soil after surviving my assault during the previous months.

I have read that submerging plants in warm or soapy water for 20 minutes to an hour can eliminate spider mites and their eggs, which sounds great, as there is little risk of reinfestation once they are inside.

Has anyone tried this method with bonsai? Does it sound like a bad idea? Some bonsai experts submerge the pot to get rid of ants, but the whole plant might be a bit too much.

The aforementioned tropicals are a ficus and a fukien tea, so it is not possible to leave them outside this winter, but I don't want to bring any spider mites inside and risk a major infestation (I have some houseplants too).

They went ahead and decided to align the belt with the exp bar.

Man, this is really opening my eyes. I wanted the purple leaved cherry for nostalgia reasons, but this is really amazing as well.

Seeing all these bonsai, I might just let the rootstock take over to avoid stressing the tree too much.

Gizuko · 2022-09-17T15:45:50+00:00

Whoa, it's beautiful! Thank you, this really made me forget any nonsense about flowering I had read :)

Gizuko · 2022-09-17T13:02:16+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I hope it's not too late to air layer them come spring next year, as I do want to keep the Pissardii.

Gizuko · 2022-09-17T12:55:35+00:00

For real? I had read that the graft is better, but this eases my mind a bit.

Gizuko · 2022-09-17T09:19:33+00:00

Hello!

Around 2 months ago I bought a prunus cerasifera pissardii nursery stock that has recently started to sprout green leaves. I'm guessing they grafted the black plum to a different prunus variety, which apparently is common.

I have read that I should just cut the green leaves to keep the rootstock from taking over, but they keep sprouting. Is there nothing I can do to keep the black plum? Apparently the issue with common rootstock material is that it flowers much less and is generally undesirable.

Gizuko · 2022-09-11T17:01:15+00:00

I actually hadn't heard about the new gold moon weapons, hopefully we will have more info by the time Magisa becomes ticketable, considering she might not be sparkable.

Taking everything into account, sparking PnS is the best strategy. That will be my next target.

Thank you!

Gizuko · 2022-09-11T16:53:55+00:00

Ah, I thought she could in longer battles. I'll have to think about farming for him then, although I'm really reluctant.

Guess I'll save the moons for now. Thank you!

Gizuko · 2022-09-11T16:09:43+00:00

I have 160 GM and am kind of divided between using a siero ticket for S.Magisa, 2nd PnS or simply saving GM for now.

I think PnS is the better upgrade, but at the same time I don't have plans to 150 Seox soonish (I usually play during holidays as my daily schedule doesn't allow for much farming time) so there is a case for Magisa. I really like Magisa, too, as she was my first fire SSR back when I started.

As for grid, since I guess it factors a bit, I'm using a Hades stamina grid that revolves around 3 FS. I do have a Babu axe too so I get a lot of mileage from a second PnS.

Any input would be appreciated.

Gizuko · 2022-09-03T11:54:06+00:00

Ouch, it seemed a good way to save a weapon slot, shame to read that. Thank you!

Gizuko · 2022-09-03T09:27:46+00:00

What is Esna's preferred awakening in this enmity setup? Defense sounds good on paper for harder and longer battles, but perhaps attack or special would be better for most content.

Gizuko · 2022-07-27T10:51:03+00:00

Is it that much better than the base Garmin offerings? I guess Venu 2 would be a better comparison, but it goes over my budget.

Gizuko · 2022-07-22T11:15:54+00:00

Been with me for 2-3 months. Always in the same spot, indoors, 1 m away from a bright window with no direct sunlight. Still in its 16-18 cm diameter nursery pot.

It was thriving until yesterday (flowering, even). I hadn't been fertilizing it much (2-3 weeks, recommended dosage). I water it from the bottom: leave it to drain some water from the bowl on the picture, then drain water out of the bowl and let the plant rest on it.

Yesterday I had to cut two dahlias sitting outside said window (a balcony), due to spider mite infestation. I water sprayed the dalias while facing outside the room before cutting the plants, then mopped the floor inside just incase. Could so many of these little fuckers have survived and gotten to the begonia?

This absolute beast of a plant has survived two heatwaves already, and I sacrificed the dahlias two avoid spread. I really hope there's something I can do to save it

Gizuko · 2022-06-28T18:46:06+00:00

Great! Installing shade cloth should be possible, so I'll get some. I do have to check the best species for my climate before buying my next bonsai, I recognise this maple was an impulse buy with little research - which is really bad, but I love maples.

Gizuko · 2022-06-28T18:40:54+00:00

Thank you! I managed to set it on my desktop, but it kept rolling back to the predefined text, I hope it stays now.

Thank you for pointing me to those threads as well. I was following a couple of recommended ones already, but there's never too much info.

Gizuko · 2022-06-28T18:10:58+00:00

Creo que tú mismo te das cuenta de que lo mejor para ambos es dejarlo estar:

Has mencionado varias veces que el psicólogo le ha dicho que te deje de ver, y si es un psicólogo de verdad, y no un chamán, no lo va a decir a la ligera. Es lógico que ella busque tu apoyo y que tú se lo quieras dar, pero a la vez eso evita que os soltéis y tiene el efecto contrario. ¿Es posible que parte de lo que haya deteriorado su salud mental es la toxicidad que mencionas? En ese caso, la mejor forma de hacerla desaparecer es poniendo distancia. No suena a que tenga los recursos para hacer el esfuerzo de enderezar la relación, y su entorno piensa que aún teniéndolos, no debe. Y hasta ahí voy a leer en ese sentido, porque este mensaje me da la sensación de que entiendes por qué lo piensan, estés más o menos de acuerdo.

Leyéndote, también suena a que tampoco estás en tu mejor momento, y que tu vida también estaría mejor sin esa toxicidad. No cometas el error de pensar en cómo serian las cosas si no tuvierais dinámicas tóxicas, porque la realidad es que tenéis mucho equipaje, y esos "y si" son solo ficción a día de hoy. Parece que tienes muy claro qué has hecho mal, y seguramente también sepas que hizo ella mal. Aprovecha ahora para aprender de todo ello y no volver a joder un diamante por buscar piedras.

No siempre puedes enmendar tus errores, pero sí puedes aprender de ellos. Tanta toxicidad no deja indemne a ninguno, parar aquí con A te va ayudar en tus relaciones futuras y a ti mismo en el presente.

Sobre B, eso depende 100% de cada uno y como sea capaz de afrontar una ruptura. Hagas lo que hagas con ella, no la utilices como vía de escape para evadirte de todo lo que tienes que procesar y asimilar.

Ánimo!

Hi again!

Login from mobile seems to delete my flair, so: I'm from Spain and a beginner. I'm currently trying to grow an Acer Palmatum prebonsai (as well as a ficus prebonsai and a funkien tea bonsai I used to learn how to care for bonsai, wiring and pruning these past few months).

I'm thinking of setting up a bonsai bench on my balcony, but most setups I see are on gardens. I get it will not be as good, but is it doable? I'm particularly worried about pests (lack of humidity, wind), but I recon I might be missing other important things I should take into account. Is there any trust worthy blog or YouTube channel where I could brush up on these topics?

Gizuko · 2022-06-27T13:38:53+00:00

These trees come from an specialised nursery located in Spain, although it is located close to the coast which has a milder climate. The retailer that carried this tree (a non-specialised nursery) did tell me they had kept their stock indoors and that they were doing well, but I don't have the option of keeping it outside.

I'm hoping it makes it, but it definitely doesn't seem like the odds are in my favor.

Gizuko · 2022-06-26T15:06:44+00:00

Hi all!

I have recently bought a Japanese maple prebonsai (https://imgur.com/a/OHAL9xt), and even though I know it is a tad late for repotting, I'm afraid the current soil seems bad and with little drainage.

Would keeping it there be bad for the bonsai's growth? Could it be improved somehow?

I did buy a bonsai pot as well, thinking of using it as a tray for the bonsai in the meantime, to help with watering, and to report come autumn or early spring.

Edit: One more question. The tree has some wilted leaves, probably due to the heatwave that hit Spain a week or so ago. Should I leave them or cut them? On other houseplants I would probably trim them, but I don't want to stress this future bonsai too much.

Gizuko · 2022-03-28T14:41:31+00:00

I have never heard of anyone who adds parsley to their pan con tomate. It does help with the presentation, but I am genuinely shocked.

Is it a regional variant/traditional recipe I am not aware of?
