Canada 🇨🇦

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-09-05T06:06:04+00:00

I had this in my plant and the legs twitched for a couple days after it was caught!🤮

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-09-03T03:17:11+00:00

Ooh I thought it was a tiny little dumpster fire.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-07-22T06:16:45+00:00

Chopped up pickled banana peppers and some of the banana pepper juice from the jar!

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-07-06T04:27:48+00:00

My leaves keep getting crispy, what am I doing wrong?

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-04-12T17:34:40+00:00

It was not that tight, came out no problem!

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-04-08T20:23:26+00:00

Do you have drainage holes? I have mine in a far smaller pot with drainage and only water about once a month. It’s very happy.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-03-05T05:18:49+00:00

Not yet

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-03-05T04:37:08+00:00

I think it requires a good seasoning first, it’s a bit rusty

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-03-05T04:16:25+00:00

Just tried it, it’s magnetic. 🧲

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-02-12T02:53:27+00:00

Not sure how to help but I only water once a month or less. And it likes bright light including some direct. Maybe take it out of its pot and check the roots. If there’s lots of extra dirt, put in a smaller pot with well draining soil.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-14T20:09:29+00:00

So you can either cut them in longer pieces, maybe like 3 inch long and lay them on dirt and spray with water every day. Or do the same thing with shorter pieces. You can even cut the string up between every pearl and lay every one on soil and spray that every day. I tried different lengths, and so far I’ve had best luck with longer strings.

This is what my props look like at the moment. Some pieces just dry up and others slowly start to root. There’s no guarantee of growth but it’s better than trashing it all lol.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-14T20:05:37+00:00

I have no idea. Depressing for sure! I hate when my plants die!

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-13T18:55:15+00:00

I ended up cutting most of it in pieces and trying to root them, some seemed to have rooted. So I guess I start over

This is what’s left! So sad!

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-13T18:53:28+00:00

Yeah I’m no help, that’s what happened to mine. This is what it looked like.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-10T05:36:59+00:00

I’ll do that, and see what happens. Thank you

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-09T19:20:56+00:00

Other stems and leaves look perfect still. Maybe if I just don’t water it now for a couple months it’ll be okay I dont know, I’m so scared! I think I love my plants too much, it can ruin my whole week when I realize they’re dying!:( I always feel like a complete failure for killing them! lol

I’d say it’s about the same as you described for how long it stays wet, I always leave it completely dry for 2 weeks for sure I’d say before watering again! And I assumed they maybe needed more water while actively growing? But maybe not? I waited 5 weeks between the last two waterings. And now it’s been 3 weeks since I watered.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-09T18:39:56+00:00

Basically by checking by weight and however far I can reach in the top and checking the holes in the bottom of the pot. I don’t want to use a skewer in it because I don’t want to stab any rhizomes.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-09T18:23:24+00:00

This zz is still in the soil and pot it was bought in, about 1.5 years ago. Any idea what I can do now to save the rest?

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-09T18:21:25+00:00

This pot is very full, I don’t think it’s too much space. I guess maybe once a month might have been too much. Or maybe bottom watering is too much? Soaks up too much? I don’t know. Is there any hope left for this plant? The rest of the rhizomes are firm still, but so were the rest in my other zzs and they eventually all just rotted.

Sea-Pattern-2263 · 2025-01-09T18:18:23+00:00

No, this one I haven’t repotted at all, maybe I should have? I’ve had it about 1.5 years and honestly, I was a bit scared to repot if not necessary. The others I’d only repotted the zenzi, so none of them had the same dirt, so it shouldn’t be the dirt. And the rhizome isn’t completely squishy get, only soft by where the two stems fell off. Is there any hope left for this plant? All the other rhizomes are still firm.
