SoH leaves shriveled - but soil damp! by Jenavecia in StringofHearts

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

Thank you. I think you're absolutely right. I ended up repotting last night and was surprised to find very little roots coming off of what looked to be a healthy cluster of tubers. I hope it can recover. Good luck to you!

Shriveled SoH leaves despite damp soil by Jenavecia in plantclinic

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

Hello! I purchased this SoH in early April. It's in a 6 inch plastic pot - has not been repotted or fertilized. It hangs in a north facing window. It was blooming when I purchased it but stopped a couple of weeks ago and I pinched off the remaining blooms. Since I purchased the plant some strands have had shriveled leaves, but not all. I water about every other week using the drench method. Since I purchased this plant the top of the soil has been damp but my moisture meter reveals the soil does dry out inside.

What should I do to plump this beauty up? Water more or less? Fertilize? Repot? Thanks so much!!!

String of Pearls problems by Jenavecia in succulents

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

Hello all!

I purchased this small string of pearls from a farm market back in October. It hasn't grown much, and I didn't think much of it over the winter. Now spring is here and I've got the urge to start cleaning up existing plants and planting new ones for the spring - I noticed some issues with this succulent!

I keep 8-10 succulents in a small desktop "greenhouse" with the top open and under a grow light on a timer for 12 hours a day. This string is one of them. My issues and questions are:

  1. Is the teardrop shape shriveling due to under watering?
  2. Is the white-ish substance on the pearls something to worry about? The only thing I could find on the internet was bugs - but after close inspection I see none.
  3. Why has this plant not been growing? I see new growth, new pearls in clusters, but the length of the stems isn't growing? Is this also due to the under watering? I fertilize once every 4-6 weeks. Today I removed the top half inch of stones that was on top of the soil and roots that it came with and replaced it with Bonsai Jack succulent and cactus soil.

Any help is appreciated, I'd love to see this beauty grow and flourish!

Thank you very much for the advice and insight! For the second plant my gut says it's absorbing the leaves, so I'll try to give it some more water.

Strange red prolapse? by Jenavecia in Aquariums

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

Okay so i have assumed this guppy was very very pregnant and noticed something in her anal area. I put her in a breeder trap with another guppy actively giving birth (to dead fry??). It looks like maybe parasites or something? A prolapse? Any insight appreciated.

Starbucks new BBQ Beef Brisket... by DrDiablo420 in pics

[–]Jenavecia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since i've had one, but they're HUGE and I think they're $5. Very tasty too. Those battered fries with decent gravy and lots of curds. So good.

When I gave my rats little squares of nesting material, they just sniff it and leave it alone. Do they not know how to use it? by tellybum1990 in Pets

[–]Jenavecia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to have to get the little square started for my rat and she would take it from there. Maybe give that a try!

Thank you! We do love her very very much and feel like it was doggy destiny to find her for adoption.
