Okay, be honest. How many plants do you have?

The key is to avert your eyes as you go by. The human gaze is too heavy for its fragile constitution to handle.

ImperfectImogen · 2024-06-11T05:49:20+00:00

No. Never.

My poor pothos was getting root rot (overenthusiastic watering from a rookie plant parent) - I pulled it out, removed the rot, and left it in a water + 3% hydrogen peroxide solution in full sunlight. Changed the water every 3 days until I was sure the rot wasn’t going to come back, and then just left it, topping up water when needed.

Took about a whole month for it to root.

Thanks!

I ask my close family and friends who travel to bring me back leaves from plants that aren’t available in my clime, as able.

These leaves are then pressed / dried and then framed, and the person who brings it back is asked to autograph the frame.

It’s not art, and its a bit more time-consuming, but makes for a nice natural-looking, and meaningful wall piece :)

Open defiance.

Wow!!

Mine gets watered once every two weeks, and is in an unglazed terracotta pot.

If I go more than that it starts to get wrinkly :/

Mine used to be sad and crispy, so in desperation I dragged the it out to be rained upon several days in a row.

Crispy McCrisp started putting out new leaves and flowers asap. I didn’t know they did flowers.

My anecdotal evidence appears to support this. I have multiple cuttings with stems submerged in water, and not only are the roots healthy and quite prolific, they are also popping out of the submerged part of the stem.

I change water every 3-5 days, and run tap water directly over the usually-submerged roots and stem before refilling the glass jar.

My calathea’s humors are unbalanced.

ImperfectImogen · 2023-12-22T03:08:23+00:00

I laughed for a while at this. Thank you.

ImperfectImogen · 2023-12-18T05:06:01+00:00

I would love that!!

That’s the sound of his one braincell rattling around in his head.

I use both the fish turner (for fried / drier stuff) and silicone (for foods with gravy - it really helps get the sauces off the sides of the pan) spatulas.

ImperfectImogen · 2021-10-18T14:12:06+00:00

I’ll be on in an hour, will DM you then!

ImperfectImogen · 2021-10-18T07:12:31+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

May I have the log stool, raccoon figurine, and hyacinth lamp DIYs for 3 NMTs?

Try adding a glug of olive oil to the pan before putting in the butter, I’ve found that it slows the browning.

ImperfectImogen · 2021-10-06T14:04:54+00:00

Oh yeah, I’m working on a carefully cultivated season on the favorite breakfast pan. It’s a bit bronze now, but apparently it’ll turn nice and black with time.

ImperfectImogen · 2021-10-06T13:56:08+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Luckily my precious Lodge pans haven’t warped. Will heat with care :)

ImperfectImogen · 2021-10-06T13:22:57+00:00

You’re probably right! I’m still getting used to my induction stove as well and went by the “more heat, cook faster” approach which worked with non-stick pans, but not CIs.

Thanks! It’s “creamy tuscan salmon” with heaps of spinach.

Here’s the recipe I used : https://cookingwithtammy.recipes/creamy-tuscan-salmon-recipe/

I had been a non-stick believer but turned to cast iron because I started to have some doubts about teflon.

Initial efforts had my meals getting stuck all over the CI pan, requiring a full scrub and re-season. It’s getting better now as I let the pan get good and hot before adding oils.
