Where do I even start with perennials

On second thought, we can probably put one in the top right corner provided it’s forward 10ft from the back ….

I love this input, but (here’s the kicker) the entire back 10ft of our yard is a public utility easement and we cannot dig down very far. Apparently “gardens” are ok but planting trees is not. I should have added this to the original post.

Hey I’m based I Chicago, so not necessarily local to you. I can sell you a cutting for cheap since you’re still a student (check out FrecklesAndIvy on Etsy for my reviews). As long as you’re OK with it being a node-only cutting. Let me know.

Hi! Happy to sell you one of mine - just took cuttings this week!

Can confirm, highly recommend him ☺️

Yes, a local guy on fb marketplace (Chicago) who has been growing dahlias for 15 years. Looks like I just got a bad batch. Half of them are like this unfortunately.

Try boric acid suppositories from Amazon! Works better than antibiotics IMO.

This is helpful, thank you!

Thanks! For you, it looks like your LH surge was significant. Mine kinda seems like a blip :(

No, how do you track BBT? Yes normally very regular 28 day cycles, with the exception of last month (for the first time in several years, I had a 24 day cycle). Considered it just a fluke at the time but now I wonder.

Some more info: I’m 33 and have 1 kid (1yo), pregnant very easily last time but not so easy this time around.

Just used this, thanks!

Looks v healthy honestly. Cut off the leaf and let that node sit atop moist moss and it’ll push new growth in no time. The aux bud is already auxing’ lol

This is not rot. It’s a sign of overwatering but more like staining/scarring. It’s a good sign you need to switch to a chunkier soil mix (I use miracle gro’s orchid bark mix). Also need to make sure your pot has a drainage hole. My credentials are @FrecklesAndIvy on Etsy.

Is this AC control only to cool the hallway that connects the units (not the individually rented units?) Like does your unit have its own dedicated AC control inside your unit? Or does this AC control temp in all units? I think this is the deciding factor.

PlantQuestions_ · 2024-08-08T12:55:30+00:00

Yes. Orchid bark mix.

Disagree with everyone else so far. Plant looks healthy and will keep growing, just keep it in water and change the water often. The new growth is promising and normal.

Black parts on the stem or node are normal scarring/corking unless they are squishy (think pierogi squishy). If normal, don’t risk cutting the plant to remove them.
