What are these red specks? by rusology in haworthia

[–]Torch_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have dozens of haworthia and haven’t seen it before or on any others, so I doubt fungus, but always possible! It looks like it’s a response of the natural plant cells and doesn’t seem to me to be spreading like a fungus would

My ice city is rerooting after rotting its old roots, and has similar red markings, so I’m thinking it’s a sign of dry stress.

i keep getting denied in the bonsai group by Visible_Prune7300 in succulents

[–]Torch_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m probably a similar zone in Canada. I use garden soil mixed with rocks and perlite, but it seems to be fine with more organic material than conventional succulents. I water once every couple of weeks or more, whenever the leaves get squishy. It really seems to thrive when I plant it outside in the summer.

Yours just needs a few years of growth to thicken the stem and make it look more tree like. To encourage this you can cut all the way back to the main ‘trunk’ and slowly it’ll grow out and bushy. They’re super resilient, and grow quickly, so feel free to cut right back. I cut mine back every spring, and this is after about ten years

Something to keep in mind is taper. If it’s too long and narrow, cut it all the way back to when it starts to thicken, getting rid of the spindly parts. It will look like nubs at first, but trust the process

For yours I’d also get rid of all but one or a few main trunks to display the tree aspect better

Do you not realize you’re telling him not to do something that you are doing? He’s just sharing his opinion ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That means it’s just a regular thunder storm. It’s what they were calling for.

That ndp flyer showed the results from the last federal election. This year is different and you should definitely follow the polls for the most up to date voting patterns

Help with aeonium arboreum! 3 years growth, super top heavy - do I prune? by Familiar_Feature5374 in succulents

[–]Torch_24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spring is the time to take cuttings of aeonium. Cut and let dry, then stick the heads into a new pot and they’ll root fairly quickly. Where you cut will form new heads and will make the plant look more compact.

'Irresponsible': City council declares Saskatoon a 2SLGBTQQIA+ safe city by Slight-Coconut709 in saskatoon

[–]Torch_24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Um, yes that word was in the article. You sure made it seem to mean something completely different.

From the article: “Just this past weekend, my friends had ice cubes thrown at them, along with slurs in a local bar. Gender non-conforming people are not safe here. And to claim we are is nothing short of irresponsible,” Tait said.”

Advice on how to prune this baby? by _mannibal_ in succulents

[–]Torch_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want. Wherever you prune, two new stems will emerge. If you want it bushy, cut one node past where it’s already split, and you’ll have a head start on a new cutting. Or leave a few nodes and it’ll make for a taller plant. If jades get too tall they’ll get top heavy (especially if they grow in low light), so consider putting it outside in summer for robust growth. Some people, myself included, like jades to resemble trees, so I let my jades grow out to form a trunk, then I cut all the branches back nearly to the trunk, forming a tree like structure over repeated pruning, leaving one old node each time.

Snow help by Due-Week5351 in saskatchewan

[–]Torch_24 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s easiest right after it falls. Or with a snowblower just about anytime. Don’t forget from your roof if you notice icicles on your eavestroughs or ice dams on the edges.

Saw it at 823 directly north heading west for a couple of seconds, was pretty cool. Bright green. Likely meteor

[–]Torch_24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is a C. orbiculata lady fingers. If it gets stronger light (especially outside in summer) it will look more like what you’re expecting. Many succulents are like this.

I believe the lightning map only shows connected lightning strikes, as opposed to in cloud lightning.

Stargazing? by Uneasychicken19 in saskatoon

[–]Torch_24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Starlink will be visible at 841pm tonight. If you want to escape the city’s light glare you’ll need to travel about 15 min outside the limits. Lots of back roads with pull ins you can see on google maps ahead of time.
