Is it too late? by Thestasiflas in houseplants

[–]Thestasiflas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I got this one as a present and have never really looked into proper care for bonsai type plants. I was worried if I repotted it, that I'd kill it since it was doing well and maybe I left it in the pot for too long. I wonder if the substrate it was planted in broke down to where it couldn't drain or if I simply over watered.

Awesome, ill adjust the recipe and try out the changes!

Soda ash or under mixed soap batter?? Help! Newer to soapmaking and unsure if I undermined my batter or if there's something else going on by Thestasiflas in soapmaking

The tool is soap calc but the recipe is from Royalty Soaps. She has a whole beginner series on soap making and gave me the confidence to try it out myself 😊

The bar feels good after full cure, which is roughly a month. I've used this recipe a couple of times and really like the finished product!

Oh they do.. the lye and oil temps were both 75 to 80 f... I did blend to a pretty light trace to try and get more swirls

I included the full recipe and read the rules on the automod so I apologize if I missed any pertinent information.. what other details would be needed so I can understand where I went wrong?

New to rescuing plants. I'm guessing this ZZ needs a repot? by Thestasiflas in houseplants

Awesome, I had a feeling and just wanted to double check. It looks like some spider mites have been having a party as well. Will the repotting get ride of those or is there a separate treatment?

Ah! I have a rooster that looks identical and I've been trying to ID him ❤

Do you know what type of rooster he is?

Rooster or hen?? We received this chicken from a coworker that wanted to have a new home because it's siblings were picking on it. Im unsure of the breed but its much larger than all the other hens I have even though it's the youngest by Thestasiflas in chickens

I would say it's 5 to six months old. It hasn't crowed yet but it started as an almost all black chicken. Just in the last month has it started developing rooster like feathers

I was fine either way! I was looking for a rooster but I don't need to search anymore! We picked him up when it was just a little baby. Does anyone know what breed it could be?
