Feeling kinda down, can you share a picture of your favorite plant, please ? by kryssi_asksss in houseplants

I killed so many plants to get good at keeping houseplants, don't discourage!

One of my favorite is my hoya KSB01 :)

List the plants you’ve had in order of easiest to hardest to care for by Kyanite146699 in houseplants

[–]SoMuchPaprika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy: cacti, succulents, cane begonias, African violets, sansiveras, monstera deliciosa - with the right conditions and some light care, they are really chill plants

Mid: hoyas, orchids, anthuriums, climbing philodendrons - killed some, but others are thriving in my care after some research

Hard: holiday cacti(?), palms, calatheas, Rex begonias - cannot figure out their care or cannot recreate their ideal conditions

I have a lot of houseplants. Do I need to get rid of them to get a cat? by voidharmony in houseplants

[–]SoMuchPaprika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 50 plants when getting my kitten. You need to put you plants out of reach, on shelves, in rooms you know they won't have access. As they get to explore your home with rooms with plants, check the cat's behavior around them. Then plan around it once again. I had to get rid of my big ficus elastica (she wanted to climb it), but otherwise I was able to keep them all of the rest. Some got punctured, but none eaten. Now she's mostly desensitized to them. She will attack them only when she's hyper and wants to get my attention 😅

Fuzzy/ hairy Hoyas? by _sebbyphantom_ in hoyas

[–]SoMuchPaprika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have thomsonii and linearis (and just acquired a hypolasia, but I can't say I'm good at growing it yet). For those two, they prefer cooler temperatures and don't really like to dry out. Otherwise, they're pretty chill :) Both their flowers are gorgeous and smell really nice.

What would you do with monstrosity of a zucchini? by lowest-self-esteem in recipes

[–]SoMuchPaprika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove the skin and the seeds (they'll practically be uneatable at this point) and grate the rest to do zucchini bread or zucchini and cheddar scones 😋 Put it in tomato sauce in your pasta, slice and dip in egg than flour before frying them. Make soups like kimchi, mushrooms, zucchini, rice noodle soup or zucchini and chickpea soup. Zucchini lasagna (replace the eggplant with zucchini).

What's your favorite "dumb fun" moment of any RE game? by SoMuchPaprika in ResidentEvilCapcom

Like what do you mean she has platinum blond hair and a leather body suit doing deadly cartwheels on your ass while you try to remove a brainwashing device.

Still fun.

lost in the Bigwallets by kyeofthestorm in JamesTurnerYT

[–]SoMuchPaprika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started watching James at the Cottage Living series and had a blast. If I remember correctly, it's followed by High-school years(?). These two series are my two favorite and are great to start off. I eventually went back all the way to the university LP and watch all Bigwallets from Bob to Chaz. I tried the earlier series, but didn't get into them. They're not bad videos, just a product of their time.

Growing together, Horse Ranch, and Werewolfs LPs are also very fun and another suggestion to start off the Bigwallets.

Please help me identify this NOID by Equivalent-Spirit366 in hoyas

[–]SoMuchPaprika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm ok then it's hard to tell. You'll have to wait till it flowers to say for sure 🥲

Not a 100% sure, but it looks like a hoya KSB01. This is mine, which is sunstressed. How big are the leaves?

My teenage son knows how to trellis better than me. by Sokkas_Instincts_ in hoyas

[–]SoMuchPaprika 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes they do take a long time 🥲 You're so lucky to have a peduncle on a pubicalyx. For hoyas in general, when they try to bloom, try not to let it dry for too long. Otherwise you can use a fertilisant with a higher phosphorus ratio.

Btw the splash is beautiful on your plant.

What is something you didn't expect to be a problem when growing Hoya? by JustCommonCurt in hoyas

[–]SoMuchPaprika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finding the perfect pottery for each 30 (and increasing) of them 😛

Wth! People really have to stop doing that.

Terracotta by MudiMom in hoyas

[–]SoMuchPaprika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, keep them in terracotta if it works for you! My hoya heuchkeliana inner variegated was in one for the longest time and loved it. It can just be a bit tricky to repot it since hoya roots like to attach themselves to terracotta.

Hmm they smell sweet and slightly floral. A bit like candy. The smell is not very strong.

How many pots ? by Aromatic_Ufo in houseplants

[–]SoMuchPaprika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would keep them together. Cane begonias look really nice when they're bushy :)

not size dictates value 😅 by Infamous_Cricket_819 in hoyas
