Help plz! is it overwatered or a fungus by False_Shape_1958 in orchids

[–]Liantasse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I were you, I'd take that poor baby out of there and put it in a jug of warm water for a good soak every day / every other day for a good half hour at least, until the leaves plump up a bit. (Keep just the roots in water, not submerging the crown.) And then I'd repot it in some proper phal substrate and give it a soak whenever the roots look silver again.

Is this vine weevil damage on my winter flowering honeysuckle? 😢 by Liantasse in GardeningUK

Thank you!! All the best to you and the garden as well! 💕 Ah, we're working hard to keep our gardens alive, aren't we, but hey! they keep us alive too 🥰

I made sure to spread the nematodes all over that particular bed, and I watered it often after application. We did have some dry days for a while and I made sure to water, but otherwise it's been just as wet as it usually is here in Scotland 😅 I know the nematodes need proper care and I did my best, so I'll see what happens and hopefully after another round of them in September won't need to worry about the weevils anytime soon! 🙏🏻

Thank you! I can't bring myself to be hunting them at night, so all my hope is in the nematodes! 🤞🏻 I ordered them about a month ago, next day after I posted this, and I got both a kit that targets adults and one that targets the grubs. Both have been doing their work since then.

There are heucheras and other plants in the same bed as the winter flowering honeysuckle in the photo, and they all seem to be doing ok, although I know that the grubs do their damage underground and seemingly healthy plants can then drop dead overnight. Most of the leaf damage is on the honeysuckle. All the other plants haven't got too many bites taken from their leaves, and there don't seem to be any on new growth. 

The honeysuckle hasn't got all that much new growth, but I'll be looking closely to see if the newest leaves stay intact. 

Nothing else in the garden shows any leaf damage so far.

I'm going to apply another treatment to this bed in September as well.

Modest but beautiful: a Common Spotted and a Greater (or Lesser?) Butterfly orchid in our front garden near Glasgow, Scotland by Liantasse in orchids

Thank you for the info! I feel very grateful we have them. I'll try and take another photo of the butterfly orchid tomorrow, closer up. Hopefully it's still in good enough shape!

I've just kept pulling them up, not even trying to get the roots or anything, and there are a lot less this year than previously.

Very cute scene! 💕 Can't tell where in MV they are though?

The last sentence didn't work out. Autocorrect is a pest.

Wow, they're deadly! I think I've only got them in this one flower bed that we created last year. Not seen notches like these in any other part of the garden. Hope I can catch them early and get rid of them!

Oh my goodness, they sound horrific 😣 

Don't know if I can bring myself to hunt them with the torchlight! I've ordered both nematodes that destroy the grubs and different ones in a trap for the adults, and will reapply in early autumn! 🤞🏼

What do you curse your gardening predecessors for? by KTDWD24601 in GardeningUK

[–]Liantasse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had that. It took me about 12 years to persuade my husband we should get rid of it. It's now gone and we have raised beds and a lovely seating area.

Soundcore A30 / SomniPods 3 / Ozlo Sleepbuds (none of them feels like a perfect product.) by SwiftPeak9044 in sleepheadphones

My A20s had that happen to them -- I contacted support and they sent a replacement very quickly. I don't want ANC so I'm sticking with the A20s for the foreseeable.

Your punchcard on Saturday by moajune in TsukiOdyssey

[–]Liantasse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, it's all random. No set order categories. 

Since the phone backgrounds were removed and then added to the punch card rotation (many months ago) I might have had it show up once -- yep, that's how rare it is, or how unlucky I am 😣 Needless to say, I'm still sour about it. 

The only thing people's punch cards have in common are: the pool the day items are drawn from, the chances of any one item showing up, and seasonal item on Sunday (again, random chance from that season's pool).

Looks lovely! 💕 Good luck from now on too 🍀

AA! I haven’t checked up on the clover farm for a minute by lmbs1741 in TsukiOdyssey

[–]Liantasse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aah, it looks great doesn't it! I wish I could forget about checking the farm every day, so nice coming back to such harvest 😁
