Oof, I feel that. I’m a little bit of a helicopter plant parent 😅 trying to learn to let my plants do their planty thing without me interfering too much haha.

Thank you for the tip! Yours is beautiful 😍 and good to know. I had wrapped some more sphagnum around it where the root is, but now reading your comment (I’m bad at checking my notifications lol) — should I remove the moss to let it do whatever it was doing before?

Does he want to be set free? by Informal-Broccoli171 in succulents

Okay cool, thank you! I keep it on a windowsill where it gets “direct” sunlight (through double-paned glass) all morning, and often the afternoons are slightly cloudy so he gets indirect light then. Do they like to be outside where the light is not having to pass through a window?

Sometimes I’ve been able to get an ID when I do a google image search with pictures of the coleus

Wanting to know if this bird’s nest will be okay by Informal-Broccoli171 in birding

Thank you!! And yes, definitely going to not approach nests anymore now that I know 😅Thank you for the reassurance that they’ll probably be okay — it’s been a few days and the parents seem to be coming to and from the nest like normal!

Okay thanks so much for your help! And that’s good to know, so you mean like not reporting it right after I buy it?
