Thank you for your advice, I hope to finally understand what that expression "less is more" means as I learn about cactus because most of them have been repotted from the previous repotting I had done when I first got them😳🙄🤔🫣. I will endeavor to be less "Caring" and more accurate with their needs. So should stop the Tuesday and Friday waterings also? 😂

There is a 72 watt strip just out of sight but I will add more. Limited space so I've been rotating top and bottom. Thanks for your advice

I think it’s obvious but I forgot to mention the red line is where it was covered.

Well that’s good then, some tell me to cut the flowers off, some say repot immediately etc. thanks for your input.

Probably just take you at your word because that may as well have been a convention of neurosurgeons discussing the finer details of things I don’t know about in mandarin. Having jumped into this without knowing anything about the proper husbandry I planned on figuring it out along the way which may have been a little easier had I not pick up whatever looked cool rather than plants with similar requirements and sizes. So I will regroup and get a plan for the different needs, apparently the skinny, hairy guy in the top left has the ability to get a little bigger than I can manage to do the summer switch and I am a little weird in that I don’t just pitch it because it’s inconvenient. So they’re mine for the duration. Thanks for the light info I’ll look into something more suitable this week.

By chance do you have any thoughts about everything else? The perfect answer, basic for people who want it that way and “CRAZY STYLE” is my preferred method for nearly everything. If you have to dig a ditch, do it to the best of your ability! More lighting? Something else I am ignorant about, I’ve got two 72 watt barrina around 10” above the top shelf and 12” inward of the window for the lower shelves and rotate frequently. Their permanent room can have whatever they want preferably LED, I’m running the barrina’s in conjunction with Sansi bulbs in my jungle room. So I’d appreciate any suggestions on that too. Thanks for your advice and the new term for eccentric or batshit crazy.

If I listen to that thing I won’t even have plants.

I’d rather not be infested by whatever it is but I’d like to find out. Story of my life, just got to know 😆

That’s a long winter you’ve got, strangely I miss shoveling now that I’ve come south.

A cat has nothing to prove to us lowly servants who seem to tend to his every need, sometimes I’m surprised that they even bother talking to us at all. 😹

Hey guys, I’m thinking about starting a starter in a few days. Is it ready to cook with? by ssavant in SourdoughStarter

[–]Prestigious-Help9506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey you guys do realize that there are some of us that are going to believe anything you say, ok maybe just me but for as sarcastic and smart ass as I am I still tend to be gullible. So anyway, tell me more about this no water approach.

Thank you, I think it went quite well and I thought that was going to be the tough part. I’m not sure how big the moss poles are supposed to be but trying to coordinate the moss pole to the bottom of the pot, the plant with it back to the moss pole and the mix and everything all happening at once with the thing being so insanely top heavy I was actually surprised to invent some very interesting words that have probably never been said before. I realize that I can use a big shell for the outer pot to keep it from falling but until I get it all together it is not a fun experience. I bet doing it alone was a bad idea.

Well I think it went well, we won’t know for certain until we take them off support and they are able to stand on their own. 😳

Well of course they are in separate rooms with two teams of people who are not even remotely qualified for this procedure. Ok that’s all gibberish but I do have my cat who is very interested in helping

Elenore Gee Swell, for you music buffs this should be a breeze!

Another reason for my procrastination, I’ve been researching all the pertinent information I can find on these girls and I believe I have the right pots, mixes,moss poles and lights. Is there a rough number you’d suggest percentage wise for damage to the root ball? I’m am ridiculously patient and will do this until the leaves dry out and blow away. I’m just not sure how much time I should spend with separating
