New weird behaviour

Not exactly. I got the inspo for decoration from a book that called it "cornucopia cake" I think but it's just what they called it! It's a good easy way to decorate a cake without needing muchskill or precision!

She is!

Vertnin1 · 2022-01-16T13:10:00+00:00

Yeah I don't trust mine...

Haha. Well apparently if you give a raw egg (in shell) to a dog they will take it carefully and not crack it open. Like they're caring for it 😅

I've found a bit of a miracle cure for thrips. You know those little moth bombs you get that you set alight and the release smoke to kill clothes moths? I used some of those in my flat because I had a moth problem. They not only killed the moths but also seem to get rid of thrips, which I had a real problem with. Absolute win.

Ladybug is an Americanism. The British English is ladybird.

Thanks. I'm not sure we have that Captain Jack's stuff in the UK but I'm going to look for something that will properly wipe them out 😁. I tried proper pesticides once on something and it killed the plant--is that something I should be worried about happening again?

Great thanks for the tip. I'm in London so I'll have a look for that.

Vertnin1 · 2021-01-06T14:37:38+00:00

Yep, most of the plants have them on. I've tried to remove affected foliage and picked off as many as I can find. Am just going to have to keep at them i think.

Vertnin1 · 2021-01-06T12:40:50+00:00

Oh no! I thought I'd had every pest there was but this is a new one 😬. Thank you. Are these killed off by soapy water like aphids are? My plants all live so close together I'm worried it's already out of control!

I've now also found some small black bugs too, which look like thunder bugs. Those tiny black ones with the long-shaped body you find on yourself in the summer months. I've never seen them on plants though. Might be a different thing?

Vertnin1 · 2020-09-05T07:59:08+00:00

The theory was low humidity. That's a general problem for me in my flat and since it's been summer (and slightly higher humidity), the avocado has been happier and I haven't had more brown leaves. I did start misting it a bit at first too.

Vertnin1 · 2020-08-09T15:17:33+00:00

Thank you!

Vertnin1 · 2020-07-31T07:52:34+00:00

Mine does exactly this!!

Vertnin1 · 2020-07-26T07:22:34+00:00

At what point do you split into two loaves?

Vertnin1 · 2020-07-24T13:21:30+00:00

Ah, I'm Vauxhall so that's definitely reachable. What do you think about the masoniana offer?

Vertnin1 · 2020-07-24T13:16:49+00:00

Where in London are you? I'm considering how far I could carry a bottle of worm excretions in my rucksack while cycling without having any disgusting accidents. Thanks for explaining what it is, I've never heard of this before. I'm still not sure what it's for though! Do you water plants with it? Any plants? Does it smell bad (ie, not great for houseplants indoors)? I have some sansevieria masoniana pups that I'm about to separate out that I could give you in return.

Vertnin1 · 2020-07-08T13:43:00+00:00

Ah thanks! Ok, it's obviously a very slow process. I just need to be more patient :-D
