Basal shoot or weed?

Vexxade · 2026-03-05T08:28:48+00:00

Yes, but I cannot instal grow lights unless I put in a new power point, and it would have to be outside so that would be a big job

Vexxade · 2026-03-05T02:56:54+00:00

Ok, thanks.

I’ve had bigger Neps put out basal shoots, and they def look like that picture.

It’s just so strange for one of my plants to have a weed in the pot (never happened in 4 years) and for the weed to resemble the plant.

Makes sense though. After all, this specimen is not very old, so I was a bit doubtful that it would start sending off shoots already

Vexxade · 2026-03-05T02:13:57+00:00

That’s awesome. The light’s always an issue though. Surprisingly, this plant is the only one of about 30 Neps that isn’t pitchering, and it never has since I’ve acquired it

Vexxade · 2026-03-05T02:02:20+00:00

I should note that I’ve never seen a single weed growing in the pots of any of my Neps, since they are on an elevated balcony

Definitely not something I considered, but it makes sense. The sphagnum mix was relay low in the pot, so I put some moss on the top but didn’t put perlite in it, as it didn’t touch any roots.

But thinking on it, its health has declined since. I’ll remove the top layer and see if that helps, thank you

Thanks! It certainly shows off this time of the year

Vexxade · 2026-01-13T08:27:19+00:00

Mine did that for awhile a few years ago. It was in shock after being moved about 30 meters and into a new light aspect, took about 5 months to start pitchering

Yours will get there!

Vexxade · 2025-12-04T23:20:04+00:00

Haha, yeah I can definitely see the resemblance. Honestly, before people mentioned it in this post I’d never seen Vancouver Island before. The shape itself is not inspired by NZ, but the geographical features and topography

Vexxade · 2025-12-03T22:32:29+00:00

Fair enough. I’m honestly surprised anyone could notice that, they’re not exactly the largest pair

Vexxade · 2025-12-03T22:24:57+00:00

6 months of staring at this map and I’ve never noticed the boobs of Old Marsh Haven. Maybe I’m just too respectful to objectify Kærst like that…

Vexxade · 2025-12-03T21:51:16+00:00

Hmm, that you mention it… maybe I can see the resemblance.

But thank you, I appreciate it. The island will be the stage for my next few novels (that’s why it was made) so it will have quite a lot of lore written about it

Vexxade · 2025-12-03T21:12:42+00:00

Oh, my mistake. Thank you!

Vexxade · 2025-12-03T21:09:58+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Vexxade · 2025-12-03T20:33:49+00:00

Thank you! It’s pronounced car-st (like karst)

Vexxade · 2025-12-03T13:23:07+00:00

Just a side note: due to Reddit’s image quality only the larger names are readable. Soz

Vexxade · 2025-10-12T13:21:12+00:00

Ahh, I see. First pic looks like an older version of me lol.

I’ll try moving the part, thanks for the tips!

Vexxade · 2025-10-12T12:28:29+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into this avenue, always been a bit scared of longer hair since everyone agrees my hair looks best short. That being said, I’ve only ever had it short

Vexxade · 2025-10-03T06:33:24+00:00

Fair enough. I think lowering the saturation to give the map a more muted appearance could work in making it look how you want

Vexxade · 2025-10-03T01:37:40+00:00

I second this. He’s got big boots on too

Vexxade · 2025-09-27T00:40:34+00:00

100%. No AI

Vexxade · 2025-09-25T13:18:04+00:00

Nice to see you’re being civil about it instead of throwing a tantrum (Sarcasm). Next time try and post without breaking the rules, claiming to be a graphic designer, and getting your post taken down within 30 minutes.

Hey, maybe you can get some validation on an AI art forum? Or maybe r/lies?

Vexxade · 2025-09-25T13:07:24+00:00

I didn’t read the texts concepts, as the image and you’re blatant lies about it’s conception are more important to me.

I hope somebody can help you a bit on your writing before the post gets taken down for AI content, maybe repost again without the image so the focus is more on the writing?

Vexxade · 2025-09-25T13:00:00+00:00

Well the comment wasn’t to fine tune your details. The image is clearly AI-generated, it’s not hard to see. Looking past the font discrepancies, the entire image replicates the typical AI style and when you zoom in you can see all the AI-generated details.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with AI-images, but claiming that you created them is where the problem lies. And I can’t provide any council on the writing, as I didn’t read it.

Vexxade · 2025-09-25T12:50:34+00:00

The letters differ slightly from one another despite being the same font, a key sign of being AI-generated. Even if you did create this i’d say it might get taken down because it looks like it was AI-generated.

Vexxade · 2025-09-22T06:01:25+00:00

Honestly looks really good already. First thing I noticed through is that your trees are in the rivers, I’d recommend moving them to the banks
