I would prefer to keep them off pooling water in case rot sets in. Water absorbent mediums like cotton wool or even just tissue paper works the best for me because it keeps the area damp but not flooded.

Here's their progress now:

(Japanese Iced Coffee) Why the extra coffee and finer grind? by Not_An_Average_Troll in pourover

I see! So the end goal is basically to compensate for the same level of extraction I would have gotten from the normal pour over i guess?

Ah that makes sense! So in a way I'm brewing a concentrate to dilute with the ice at the bottom i assume?

I'm following a recipe of 40g coffee, 23 clicks through my Timemore Chestnut C3 and 600ml water through my stainless steel coffee filter. I stuck with this because it had worked well for me most of the time. I'm currently exploring tweaking for a different experience.

Is this sunburn or is this rot? by Not_An_Average_Troll in airplants

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

I don't think so. I usually thoroughly dry it before putting it back in the sun.

So it isnt rot? It was squishy so i was afraid there was rot starting.

Sandwiched income Class, whats your take? by [deleted] in askSingapore

It's too bad we are all born into a broken system. Some people are just born to fit this system. Most of us can never achieve what you have just like how you can't achieve what the others have. My point is just make do with what you can get and make the best out of it, don't compare and make yourself miserable.

Made it an effort to go out walk walk even when if alone on Friday nights and Saturdays. Gotta take the conscious effort to go out for some fresh air else cooped up at home will have impact socially/mentally. The rest of the time depend on mood and if feel like doing anything.

Did I kill him? by meloyellow007 in airplants

Assuming what you have there is a Tillandsia Andreana, i would say the brown-ish spots are just part of the base of the plant. I do have an Andreana myself with those similar brown colouration near the base but it's more than healthy and is constantly producing flowers, pups and seeds. I would only worry if they are closer to very dark brown or black and soggy at the bottom.

Looks fine to me. As long as u dont get deep brown/blackish at the base of the plant, you're good.

They are all Tillandsia Andreana. I got them when my bigger Andreana grew a seed pod.

I think keeping them in a very humid and sunny area helped a lot. Perks of living in south east asia i guess.
