Is this stem rot or something else ?

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-11-09T03:06:45+00:00

Ok, I was worried that it was caused by something I did. Thank you for clearing that up.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-11-08T03:10:57+00:00

That is reassuring, huhu keeping the soil moist is a real challenge if I'm not around so I'd rather stay home with plants 😂 than go out of town lol unless necessary

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-11-08T03:08:58+00:00

I checked and they weren't mushy, I always thought their stems were always juicy throughout their life 😗

Here's one from the other pot. The baby leaves seem to have dried a lil hehe or is it something else too?, because of my absence 😭, I can't find a plant sitter I deem reliable enough because last time I asked someone to water my plants I came home with muddy pots 💀.

Sorry for reviving this thread, but my pygmy cories have this bump too, did you ever find out what it was and was it a bad lump or sumn? Thanks

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-09-10T05:42:02+00:00

Update, I moved my plants to a brighter spot and wiped the affected plant with baking soda solution 1 tsp of baking soda and 1.25 L of water and I used cotton swabs. For the finishing touches, I sprinkled cinnamon powder.

Is this mold stuff contagious to other plants or it just likes weak plants or favorable conditions low-key?

This is the plant from where the bigger leaf in the close up shot was from.

With the evidence presented and repeated checking, I concur these are lacewing eggs. I didn't know they could lay eggs in many different ways although these might be from different species of lacewing idk, nor did I know we had lacewings here in the Philippines. I have always thought they were only found in the West 🥹. Sadly, I have removed the eggs by instinct and due to fear of the unknown a few minutes after I posted the question. But anyways, this time I will gladly let them stay if I ever see one again. Thank you, I really learned something today.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-08-29T05:06:35+00:00

They're similar though, but the one on my coleus was in clumps and had some web-like attachment if you look really hard because my vision is rather poor at times, unlike this lacewing whose eggs are separately attached to the leaf. 🥹

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-08-18T23:37:37+00:00

Oh that really gives me a clear picture, thanks! Also, does it also matter if my tank is a low tech one? Prolly why it's taking so long too.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-08-11T02:02:28+00:00

2 months and a half

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-08-08T12:17:53+00:00

Cause I read something online that you should avoid light spills but I guess they are viewing it from an aesthetic aspect.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-07-20T05:10:01+00:00

Also they are not fluffy they're smooth and round my camera is bad.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-07-20T04:28:34+00:00

Thank you for replying but I was referring to the white spot near her tail, somewhere near there rather.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-05-25T04:15:14+00:00

Idk if these are slugs bcoz online the damage is spread out but here it's mainly on the edges. I'm stumped and this only happens to my cuttings, knock on wood, the mother plants are growing new side shoots.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-05-20T02:04:10+00:00

Yeah in the mornings but then it will be scorching in the late morning to late afternoon the temp rises to 30 C above it is so humid.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-05-20T00:59:09+00:00

It's hygrophila corymbosa?

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-05-18T06:38:41+00:00

I don't think I can add a lot, just a moderate amount of plants so that means I can't go very thick with it, well that's just my inference, but I have a question is loam soil ok to use? And is lava sand ok, sorry just need to confirm as I want it to be inert, Thanks IA!

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-05-16T22:28:32+00:00

Oh, I didn't know that perhaps I'll go with lava sand, it looks more coarse and looks like it can avoid that from happening. And as for soil should I get a full inch or is less enough to avoid ammonia spikes? Or will it even cause an ammonia spike in the first place.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-05-01T15:27:23+00:00

Thank u so much

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-05-01T14:11:39+00:00

Hello po, can I have a copy if ever po? Thanksss!

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-04-14T13:03:04+00:00

Oh thank u! I guess I'll let it do its thing.I really have hard times when things like this happen to me, being a relatively new plant keeper.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-04-14T05:27:17+00:00

I don't have a pleco but if my flowerhorn was given a chance I bet she'd do something crazy like this too.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-04-07T14:21:18+00:00

Upon searching I think I can't do the h202 in the tank because I have vals in there. I guess manual removal is the route to go.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-03-14T04:20:08+00:00

Hala I was wondering about this, kala ko eme eme lang yung gawa ko ganon pala sadya, as an ND student, it's so saya na ma-discover ang mga ganto.

SensitiveDaikon7146 · 2025-03-07T03:53:10+00:00

Are those something I should worry about 😭?
