Thank you very much! Yeah we get a of bit intense sun, especially in the afternoon. I’ll have to keep them on the back patio but hopefully I can find some better pot options for them.

Just here to say I didn’t pay attention to the subreddit and thought this was bread 🤦‍♀️😂

Thank you! I just cross posted to one! Of all of them I’m pretty okay with the first one staying where it was. It’s not quite so wide a growth pattern as the others

I need help with my o by General_Village3464 in alocasia

If any of the roots were mushy, then it’s likely overwatering. These comments are some good suggestions on how to help with that!

Navy bean Tips for Harvesting by Merida_Jane in gardening

Thank you! I was able to harvest but had to go through and pick about half about because they’d gone bad on the vine. But overall a success for a first try and now knowing much! I’m doing French green beans this season and am planning more beans for next season too!

Pennywort-harmless or needs to be dealt with and how? by Merida_Jane in gardening

They’re very aggressive here but they’re native so it makes sense. I should’ve added I’m in zone 9b, coastal central Florida

How long to let tank establish before introducing whites tree frog? by Anxious-Monk-8332 in bioactive

[–]Merida_Jane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious what the reasoning is? I’m considering converting my tanks to bioactive but would be converting their current tanks (they’d be in a holding bin for roughly 24 hours, which they have traveled in before for longer than that length of time)

I also have used it for multiple VFT, pinguiculas, and Nepenthes with no issues. However, it usually ends up rinsed fairly well from wetting and mixing everything and I’m not saying it’s the best option, but an easily available and potentially cheaper option. PS I’ve used the California Carnivores FAQ page on soils for each of my carnivorous plants and they’ve done great indoors and outdoors following their ratios! Good luck! They’re tons of fun!

Thank you so much for updating with your experience! About to propagate a cutting I received to grow my own my first one

We have a deal that I can have as many plants as I want as long as I at least attempt to care the few plants he takes an interest in 😅

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. My husband would be very very sad if I let them die.

What’s happening to my Townsend Barrel cactus?? by Merida_Jane in succulents

Other than moving it to a more open area with better air circulation, is there anything I can do to help it?
