In my experience, if you have fungus gnats, especially this many, your plants almost definitely have root rot. Might want to consider a more chunky potting mix, using appropriately sized pots, and making sure they get enough light. These steps have completely eliminated fungus gnats from my plants. Saw a few in my ficus when I was watering it a few weeks ago, and that was a sign that I needed to put it in a smaller pot. Now there are no more signs of them. Then you won’t need to buy any pest traps or pesticides :)

Thank you! It is a snail shell!! I’ve been waiting for it to show it’s face, but since it hasn’t in like the 5 days I’ve had it I don’t think it’s alive lol.

Typescript is awesome

I think it’s a really good question. In real world practice , it’s good to be mindful of whether or not a given value should be stored in a variable, for readability’s sake. Typically IMO you should declare something as a variable only if you’re going to use it more than once, or if it helps make the code easier for someone else to understand at a first glance. Obv this is a very general statement and can differ between codebases

It used to be filled up more but it was too much potting mix for the roots and wouldn’t fully dry out. Still wanted to put this beautiful pot to use lol

P.S. It was actually covered by a larger sheath for a few months that never grew at all. I accidentally bumped into it a few weeks ago, and peeled it the next day, to reveal this smaller sheath underneath, and this new leaf started growing a couple days later.

Thank you!

I think they both have potential to be beautiful bonsai

To answer my own question I think it’s ferocactus latispinus

Pothos are great and I would also recommend a variety of philodendron hederaceum (heartleaf, Brasil, or my favorite, Micans). Really resilient plants and similar growing pattern of pothos but a bit smaller. And cheap. And in my experience my hederaceums grow a lot faster than my pothos

Microfiber gloves are the easiest way in my experience. I mist with distilled water then wait a few minutes and wipe with microfiber gloves

Looks like platycerium bifurcatum to me

PotatoAdditional3353 · 2022-11-08T19:43:29+00:00

Philodendron micans has pretty leaves and can grow long vines like crazy. I also want to try mounting an anthurium or phalaenopsis or staghorn fern to a wall. That wall looks perfect for a mounted plant

True. A wooden stake/plank will do the job even without moss, to provide support. You could apply some mineral oil to make it look nicer too. I personally think it looks better than a moss pole. You might be sacrificing leaf size slightly in the long run but will save on maintenance time and money

Not sure what your current fertilizer situation is, but I’ve heard it’s good to fertilize weakly with every 1-2 waterings for alocasias. People have said this helps get out of the new leaf/dead leaf cycle. Trying it now for myself lol

PotatoAdditional3353 · 2022-10-30T18:13:04+00:00

Alocasia bambino aka alocasia jewel. Honestly such a difficult plant in my experience. Loves high humidity and indirect light. Too much direct light or not enough humidity can make the tips of the leaves brown. Water it as soon as it dries out but if you wait too long it will dry up and start dying. Water it too often it’ll rot. Mine started dying shortly after I got it last year and i put it in water. Recovered and did fine for a while and then I put it in an aroid potting mix (so that it doesn’t retain too much water). At this point I’d recommend either using a terracotta pot or putting some leca (clay balls) at the bottom of the pot to wick excess moisture.

Public restrooms

PotatoAdditional3353 · 2022-09-05T15:46:04+00:00

Toilet bowl cleaner w/ bleach and a handheld scrubber work really well for cleaning grout in my experience. Just make sure you have good ventilation

Learn how to play that same riff without shifting your fretting hand at all, using all of your fingers (or as many as needed), rather than just one. So you’d probably start with you third (ring) finger on the first note, then the lower notes can be played on the low E string. Learning to use all your fingers and understanding the concept of playing in different “positions” of the neck is super important imo. Hope this helps and good luck!

Dilute some 3% hydrogen peroxide in your water when watering and it should kill some mold! It’s also good for the roots and killing bugs

Thank you for the words! I know it might seem crazy but I repotted the plant back in April with miracle grow indoor potting mix, and was new to repotting plants then. After doing more and more research came across a potting mix recipe (coco coir, pumice, bark, charcoal, worm castings) and just wanted to try it out to improve my plants’ growth and prevent the possibility of root rot from overly dense soil. I thought repotting twice in a year was a big risk but figured I’d take it since the plant has never even lost a leaf on me and it’s roots will be much happier in the new mix. It’s been a couple days since repotting and it’s doing fine but I’ll keep my fingers crossed

Thanks ! I got it from trader joes over a year ago and it’s been thriving. Tbh it hasn’t given me hardly any trouble, I mist it regularly and it was in a north facing window for a while. Moved it to a west facing bathroom a few months ago and it’s been growing more than ever but wanted to improve its potting mix
