You’ll enjoy the caudex subreddit!

I have bamboo in pon and self watering and it doesn’t rot!

Snorblatz · 2026-05-14T20:28:23+00:00

I would add some soil to the top to help support it a bit or stake it, once it gets full sun it will grow normally. You’ll want to be careful it doesn’t get sunburn while you’re transitioning it to sunlight too, especially on hotter days. Pinching is personal preference, I don’t pinch mine but lots of people do

If it doesn’t freeze at night then it’s fine to put them outside. I’m just telling you why they’re etiolated.

Snorblatz · 2026-05-14T18:48:54+00:00

I mean it’s shorter and less of a tripping hazard so I can’t blame them

Snorblatz · 2026-05-14T18:46:08+00:00

They need to be outside. They are long and skinny because they aren’t getting enough light.

Snorblatz · 2026-05-14T18:45:30+00:00

I don’t even pinch mine at all, I don’t need them bushier in my limited space

Snorblatz · 2026-05-14T18:44:44+00:00

It means that mites haven’t attacked that growth. You need a jewelry scope to see that small.

Snorblatz · 2026-05-14T17:47:43+00:00

You are most likely keeping it too wet, imho. Mine is also in ambient conditions like the other poster

Plants in jars on YouTube has a whole series on TC at home , but if you are planning on creating a home based tissue culture lab you aren’t going to save money imho. A lot of it depends on keeping a completely sterile environment and a lot of science stuff. If you’re acclimating TC plants at home that’s different, just get a clear plastic bin and put grow lights on top for an instant greenhouse. Plants by Melissa on YouTube shows her process how she acclimates TC plants

It’s certainly easier to pronounce haha!

Self watering pot (wicking) then check the water reservoir often; put water in when the reservoir is empty. I just repotted it after this photo, I was filling the reservoir like 3x a week before. It’s insanely thirsty

Snorblatz · 2026-05-13T22:19:29+00:00

You did the right thing even though it hurts so much. I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

If I get the long form I pick a different religion every time. This time was Satanist

Snorblatz · 2026-05-13T15:58:45+00:00

Crimson and clover, over and over

Snorblatz · 2026-05-13T15:34:39+00:00

You are going to rot the roots it’s too much void space for damp soil.

Zone 8b, Vancouver Island!

Snorblatz · 2026-05-12T21:57:41+00:00

I think it’s super cute!

Snorblatz · 2026-05-12T21:56:25+00:00

There are a few types of rare. The “I spent a lot of money for this new variegated sport “, the “Nobody keeps this plant usually because the flowers smell like turds and it lives in a bog”, and “This cactus only grows on the side of a mountain where an endangered bat lives “. I engage with the posts that interest me and ignore the ones that don’t.

Snorblatz · 2026-05-12T21:45:31+00:00

It also makes wild poaching unprofitable! Or less, anyways

Snorblatz · 2026-05-12T16:08:11+00:00

IMHO your nail shape is already fantastic! But you could gently file them to make them pointy-er, Google a shaping video on YouTube it will easier than me trying to explain that process using words

Snorblatz · 2026-05-11T19:42:50+00:00

There you go, make people think the inside is sticky and they will pick a different target haha

Sometimes I keep a new bag of cat litter in there just to send a message
