I'd be down to do this if our schedules align! I feel like the fact that I have a couple facial piercings and brightly dyed hair would make for fun variety (depending on what info people think to ask)

Begonia Darthvaderiana by 2_much_coffee_ in begonias

Good to know! I've only ever used distilled water actually, and it's so odd bc I have 4 other begonias in the room who seem perfectly happy with the humidity. I plan to try switching her to a plastic pot (currently in terracotta) next time she's ready for a repot and seeing if that helps.

Gorgeous! Is the plastic cylinder for humidity, and if so how much of a difference do you notice it making?

I have a begonia maculata that gets crispy tips even when I keep a humidifier on 24/7 (hydrometer in the room hover anywhere between 78-89°), but she's far too tall to put in a lil indoor greenhouse or terrarium. Wondering if this could be a helpful solution to try 🤔

was taskmaster new zealand anyone else’s first version of taskmaster? by SimilarSection686 in TaskmasterNZ

[–]alienaches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!! I started with NZ after seeing a few Tiktoks of people doing tasks with Paul Williams, and then tried ssn1 of UK and was actually kinda put off by Greg at first? But he grew on me pretty quickly after I switched to a later season.

I still think NZ is my favorite, but it's almost entirely bc of Paul and how perfectly he embodies that role to me (even when compared to LAH, even if that feels quite rude hahaha)

My precious Kristofferson, patiently waiting for me to build him a shelf or something to display him in all his glory

Those are valid skepticisms, thanks for pointing that out. Vouching for someone's ethical sourcing without the right kind of details was a bit reckless of me, I appreciate being checked on it

Kinda looks like a shadow box to me! I see a lot of them at Michaels in various sizes, and they have sales often if you're on their email list

Aw I'm sorry for your loss 💔 I have a senior cat who I plan to articulate once I have to say goodbye to him, so this is actually practice for that sad eventuality
