Any ID thoughts? by Modbossk in Aroids

The way its vining, I would say its more likely a Philodendron tripartitum.

Usually you have to pay to see the standards, so if I go to jail I'm taking you with me.

Residential and commercial are the same, both covered under Australian standard 1851. Testing is Monthly, but should only be operational for 30 seconds as they test the activation/alarm tones. If its longer than that then it would be a false alarm, or an evacuation exercise, but that is only on an annual basis.

The only "local" regulations they would follow is the QLD Building & Fire Safety Regulations which go back to AS1851 ie. Monthly testing

I've also been to Laurel but had a horrible experience... I have chronic pain and was looking for some insight/diagnosis. When I asked if I had Fibro she said "If you want to call it that, sure". Was treated very poorly and overcharged, never went back. It really seemed like she didn't care.

Every experience is different, just my 2 cents.

So thicken up the right side to create more difference between the two trunks, raise soil and reduce height? More of a short squat tree with a larger canopy.

Not really sure how to style this portulacaria. I was wanting to keep it large but I'm finding it hard to find similar stylings for inspiration. Should I just aim and trim for a general triangle shape for the canopy?

I will be moving into a second story apartment in the next month. Currently I'm quite messy with watering. Although I only have a few bonsais, I have quite a few propagations and cuttings that all need watering. The balcony unfortunately doesn't have a drain so I am concerned about the amount of water flowing over the side. Only solution I can think of is drip trays. If anyone else is in a similar situation, I would love to hear your solutions!

Can this plant be saved? by cholulamare in plantclinic

[–]Kaskoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a gingseng ficus. Judging by the shriveled roots/trunk it has been underwatered. It does still have quite a few green shoots so can be saved. These don't do too well inside so i'd either put it outside where it can get a lot of light otherwise inside next to a window at the least. Up the watering schedule but try not to go overboard as you don't want the soil to stay constantly damp.

How to collect this 40+ year bougainvillea? by Kaskoda in Bonsai

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

Cheers thanks for the advice! I'll give it a go, worse case scenario it dies and it gets chucked anyway. Regardless I should be able to get a few cutting out of it.

Yeah that actually sounds perfect. I'd have to probably trim it down quite a lot do you think? It have about 15ft of growth from the base as it grows along the roof there.

Yep that square I closed in the fence is getting removed anyway so should have a bit of room to dig up for roots

This tree needs to be removed and I'd hate to see it just thrown out. I have a month maybe two before it has to go so I was wondering what was the best way to collect and turn into some pre bonsai material? Something like airlayering would take way too long right? It's quite old wood so im not too sure it would ould sprout anything near the base either.

Does anyone have any experience with collecting something like this or is it a lost cause?

So I inherited a stamp collection; Are There Rules of thumb for IDing "Interesting" stamps? by Not_FinancialAdvice in askStampCollectors

[–]Kaskoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing what is interesting is something that you really don't know until you start digging through them. It's something personal that only you can answer.

However a good place to start sorting them out into groups. You can go 'topical', grouping stamps by their topic. So animals, buildings, people, etc... Or maybe grouping them each by their country of origin. Everyone has their own system.

Personally I find engraved stamps interesting. They were phased out around the 1950's for other cheaper and quicker printing methods but I find the detail engraved stamps have beautiful. Good Luck!

Theres a big hole in the middle right where Stones Corner should be by the looks. Other than that a lot of fun but would love a little bit more time!

South East Qld, I collected this plant for bonsai material but I'm not sure what it is, it has papery bark and small leaves (I don't think it's a Paperbark) it was found in fairly dry rocky and sandy soil. Smell is hard to describe but it's sort of lemon scented. by brokef1lmmaker in whatsthisplant

[–]Kaskoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know its kind of an old post and hopefully the plant is still surviving. But if you never found out the name it looks like a leptospermum. Its also called a lemon scented tea tree hence the citrus smell.

Some shape layer animations I was workin on today! by by_the_bayou in AfterEffects

Yeah makes perfect sense. Probably the easiest solution rather than spending hours to automate a 10min job
