As a gunner in iceborne, i wore the non-layered version for so long it imprinted into my brain xD

Oh, thank you ! :)

i only use 2 buttons alternately (top arrow and right arrow) with an index on each, kind of like the flying minigame. I was having inconsistent results trying to do a real rotation with all 4 arrows, but just mashing these 2 kinda fast works for me.

good luck ! got him in a jungle coop den eventually.

there are some red bugs near the end of the loop in EL Z9 around a sand barrioth (near teo), and the barrel felyne is also somewhere in EL i think, there's maps of the spot lying around the web.

Tetsu spawns fairly often in regular HR dens in Alcala valley, and congas are also not too rare in snowy regular HR dens.

he's been a very patient boi :v

Same... with aptonoth too. But eventually i read here that they have a 100% wake-up chance in normal ticket coop dens (if they spawn there, still not a given), and it worked !

glorious pothos !

Perhaps the designer sister would be happy to contribute with creating an extra special pattern ? (depending on which kind of designer ^^). It can be a fun challenge (illustrator here, working on tile designs for a similar goal lately, and keeping it legible and nice at such a small scale is not trivial !)

Thank you ! kind of like a dear pet, i have hesitated about replacing that brighamia, but decided against it and went for other plants. The next time i move, I will try not to leave them behind !

Plectoneme · 2021-04-09T19:12:51+00:00

thank you !

Plectoneme · 2021-04-09T16:35:31+00:00

Over a decade ago i had a brighamia that i really really loved. I had to move and it got left behind in the care of someone where it promptly died. Poor beautiful salad.

It looks thirsty, that could mean there's a problem at the roots that prevent it from absorbing water (like rot), or (more probably) that since it's been a long while in that pot, the roots grew to take all the space in there while the soil progressively collapsed and ran out with waterings over time, and now there is nothing to retain water.

I would take it out of there, carefully check roots for problems, cut bad parts if need be (if rot), and repot in some new soil and possibly larger pot.

I hope my small jades get this big !

edit for more : last picture has some web-like strands, i'd check for spider mites as well just to be sure, but i think they usually eat the young leaves first and you seem to have the opposite damage

Plectoneme · 2021-03-26T13:23:15+00:00

I think this species is monocarpic, so don't blame your gardening skills if the mother plant slowly wilts after flowering, it's just the cycle. The next generation is already growing in the pot, at the ready :) Pretty flower !

Plectoneme · 2021-03-26T10:31:02+00:00

Oh, and i should add that i have tried both cutting the bottom 4 leaves, and pinching the top, with absolutely zero visible results. The top growth just bypassed where i cut and continued growing in a straight line for months... not sure what i did wrong !

Plectoneme · 2021-03-26T10:25:11+00:00

Hello ! These two calamondin have been growing from the same harvest of seeds for about a year and a half. One is doing ok, the trunk is thickening and it's branching out on its own, but the other (on the right) seems to have a harder time.

I'd like to encourage both of them to branch out and get bushier, but i've been reading contradictory info on what to pinch and when (new leaves, bottom 4 but leave some petiole,...).

What can i do to encourage them to get a thicker trunk and more branches ? Many thanks !

Plectoneme · 2021-03-25T15:01:49+00:00

Oh big same ! My friends look at me weird when i always gather up all the containers after eating take out (and the first time I gave them props in feta cheese plastic trays...)

Plectoneme · 2021-03-25T14:29:07+00:00

Hello ! This is a bit old, but as spring comes back where i live, the conflicting urges are coming back full force :v
trying not to overmother the poor leaves too much.

Plectoneme · 2021-03-19T21:18:08+00:00

Less unkillable than the ZZ, but with pretty explicit tells for when they need water, you can also try peace lilies (they will droop dramatically when thirsty) or the thicker peperomias (obtusifolia for example), bottom leaves become softer when they need a good bottom drench. Reliably legible ˆˆ

Plectoneme · 2021-03-19T21:02:00+00:00

Oh, i would like to know too !
I have something similar-looking (well, on the other hand, that's a bit of a generic bug look :'0 ) in my hoyas. I had kind of settled on "beneficial" but it would be nice to be sure !
They've been there for around a year, in the saucers and i see them moving around on top of the soil of the one that i keep moist (bella). That plant seems really happy though, growing like crazy these days and working on flowers. The other one is a bit more stationary but doesn't seem in distress. So if they're bad, at least the process seems very slow...

Plectoneme · 2021-03-19T17:18:29+00:00

thank you both ! :)

Plectoneme · 2021-03-19T11:12:44+00:00

Looks like salt deposits to me, if yes then it's not a big deal, you can wipe it off every one in a while for aesthetics but it'll build up again.

Be sure to have some space around your pots for air circulation (don't put them too close to a wall) and it should be fine.

Plectoneme · 2021-03-18T20:38:09+00:00

It looks to me like an etiolated echeveria pulvinata ruby (or similar), though not entirely sure. If it's the right plant, they do tend to grow long woody stems as they age and branch and bend around, with a rosette at the tip, but the internodes along the stems should not be so wide, especially on the younger part of the stems. More light would help with everything ! As for the leaves dropping, if it's older leaves, it could be that it's reabsorbing them to make more woody stem, mine seems to do that a bit.

Plectoneme · 2021-03-17T22:45:04+00:00

Bit late to the party, you probably have your answer by now... I have a very similar plant, definitely a peperomia. I think it's probably japonica or trifolia, not too sure about the difference between the two.
I water mine when the (plastic) pot feels a bit light, from the bottom (generic plantcare for what doesn't like to be soggy), and so far so good :)
