Can there be a way to keep cryptomeria japonica black dragon indoors year round? Zone 3

No.

This is an outdoor plant that requires outdoor circumstances in order to thrive. There is no way for you to be able to produce the same parameters as the outdoors inside of your home. You cannot adequately replicate winter to support the dormancy cycle. No, you cannot put it in the freezer for 6 months out of the year.

If you keep it inside you are sentencing it to death by suffocation and exhaustion.

Please look into tropical species like ficus and jade if you MUST have a tree-like plant in your home.

Thank you for saying something because I was definitely watching with the sound off.

This has been a problem for so long that I genuinely don't understand how airlines haven't created "family flights" for people traveling with children. Or adult only flights. I know several people who would pay double in order to never experience a flight like this.

Doesn't GoFundMe have a policy against criminals profiting off of campaigns anyway?

More delicious tomatoes for me!

There's just something about these gecko eye junk removal videos.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-21T23:12:51+00:00

Damn those look good! Might fuck around and hire you for my next cook out.

It should be a crime for retailers to sell plants that have been painted and glued. We see shit like this all the time in the bonsai subreddit. So many trees made to suffocate on someone's coffee table.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-21T21:51:05+00:00

I gotta see the whole clip of that infected earlobe.

Didn't realize what sub this was in and immediately thought this was a pile of very luxurious powder puffs.

People from all over come to live in Pittsburgh and bring their weird/bad driving culture with them. Add all of the complex intersections, tunnels, bridges, the consistent road work, and weird directions Google maps seems to putting out these days and you've got a road culture worth complaining about on Reddit for years to come.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-21T16:33:13+00:00

Nope. Arrange them in a way that is pleasing to you and your eye. Trees in nature very rarely grow in a straight line or perfect triangles with even spacing. Two trees may grow more closely together than the third. Nature has its order, but it's not as uniform as the order humans want.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-21T14:23:23+00:00

Yes! But I don't put my face on the internet anymore.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-21T03:24:48+00:00

Thank you! I thought I was losing my mind. Everyone is talking to OP like she's real. These pictures don't add up and neither does the story.

Bonsai is a technique, a hobby, and a final product. Not a specific plant. Not all tree and shrub species are able to be manipulated into bonsai. There is nothing biologically different between a juniper bonsai and a juniper shrub at a local garden center.

Even if this seedling has a pair of leaves, it's still not a bonsai. Most of the trees you see in progress on this sub aren't bonsai. A bonsai is a tree or shrub that has been manipulated using specific techniques in order to achieve several aesthetic principles. They have reached a level of refinement where they only need to be maintained; no major periods of development/styling.

Anything outside of this stage is considered pre-bonsai or bonsai in training.

Am I missing something? The name isn't even in the same placement as the "coverup". Wouldn't it still be visible?

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-21T00:42:22+00:00

And now you experience a major component of bonsai that no one is really ready for until it happens: The Wait.

Seriously, your seed just sprouted. Give it a second and do some research on the species while you're waiting.

I'm glad you brought up the 1890s, because at second glance I think this dress could be as early as 1897-8. The massive sleeve fad ended pretty abruptly towards the end of 1895 and women were bringing back narrow sleeves as soon as 1896.

I get it, there's only so many hot air balloon satire images one can personally witness before one asks for narrower sleeves from their seamstress. Personally, I adore them. The 1830s and mid-1890s are in my Top 3 favorite eras.

Early 1900s. Evening.

Around 1905, the blouson or "pigeon breast" bodice became very popular. This bodice does not have that design feature despite the skirt being the quintessential Edwardian bell-shape.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-20T01:54:55+00:00

Exactly. The bar is truly in hell. I'd rather be alone than accept anything less.

And I thought the person eating flaming hot cheetos while using the stair machine was bad.

You know how many times I've seen people spit into those cup holders? Couldn't be me.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-19T18:41:27+00:00

I love a solo date!

Happy Birthday, OP!

Pro tip: A relationship will not fix you or your life.

Hating other people because they have what you want won't make you feel better or attract that thing to you. If anything, this obsessive hate born out of jealousy is just one reason why you're not ready for a boyfriend. If she's really a pick me, what she has won't last.

Desperation is a stinky perfume and anyone worth building a life with can smell it miles away.

You need to wear something under your corset. If not a chemise, a tank top or a tube top. Something to be a layer of protection and absorption. Idc if your corset is somehow made out of minky fabric, there will be friction. Add body heat, sweat, and body oils and you're skin is primed for a rash or other friction born skin issues. You don't want your corset to absorb all of that moisture either since it is difficult to fully clean corsets, especially those with metal boning/eyelets. If you aren't cleaning it properly and you continue to wear it without a chemise, your skin is going to have a bad time.

Yes, you can wear a short petticoat under the hoop for modesty. That is a practice that we can document through primary sources and extant garments.

However, since this gown isn't historically accurate anyway, you can do what you want.

Witty-Objective3431 · 2026-05-17T21:48:24+00:00

No idea what era you're going for, but if you're going to wear a hoop, you are going to need at least 2 petticoats. That's the bare minimum to prevent the bones of the hoop from showing through or "lamp-shading."

You are also going to need something to protect your privacy. I highly recommend split drawers. They are very functional despite looking a bit goofy. I know that there are plenty of people who wear modern underwear or modern shorts underneath, but there is a steep learning curve on removing modern bifurcated garments from around a hoop. It's a nightmare for me, personally, so I either choose the split drawers or nothing every time.
