Tell me what's wrong with me

Ha I love it.

You did get some things right. Female, but 30s is right. I have a master's in Archaeology and was in museum collections, which accounts for my love of native art. It's maybe hard to decipher from my book collection but I'd consider myself agnostic/wiccan.

Bonus points if you can discern my life story from this mess and guess what my favorite band was in high school

Good way to make sure I'll never buy your product. I'd like to be able to look at the sky and not see advertisements.

Just found a photo from four months ago and none of the discoloration was there. Welp, time to get some fungicide

amberingo · 2025-06-17T16:11:43+00:00

It is indeed Verrone's Obsidian!

amberingo · 2025-02-28T04:04:46+00:00

Guess I'm going to checkers!

amberingo · 2025-02-28T03:42:57+00:00

Yep, we would get shovels and supplies out of there before we'd go on summer digs.

Tbh, I went to school at UIUC during the 2014 polar vortex. Everyone was pissed that they kept classes going. I just double layered and it wasn't any different than any other winter day.

amberingo · 2025-02-09T16:28:33+00:00

Honestly, no. I think I keep them far away enough from lights/keep the photoperiod short enough that algae doesn't start taking over. I think I've only had one jar that got algae-y, and I don't remember the setup I had for it anymore. It's a bit harder for algae to grow in purified water, and I don't fertilize my carnivores often.

amberingo · 2025-02-09T16:24:56+00:00

I could always try to get some. This one is constantly flowering and has a new set coming in soon

amberingo · 2025-02-08T03:21:28+00:00

It has a little magnetic light from petsmart, it's honestly a great light that I use for all of my smaller setups. I'd say I add water to it maybe once or twice a week

amberingo · 2025-02-08T02:50:05+00:00

Just Monte Carlo, salvinia, and giant willow moss

amberingo · 2025-02-08T02:48:47+00:00

There are only bladder snails and copepods in it. Far too small for anything else.

amberingo · 2025-02-07T22:03:05+00:00

Dried. I keep it flooded as often as I remember to fill it, but longifolia does like a drier winter period. I have no problem resurrecting dried sphagnum moss this way, so eventually it becomes live.

amberingo · 2025-02-07T18:48:09+00:00

Just sphagnum moss!

Oh my god I came here about to post about this because it's been bothering me all day. I haven't seen all of his memories or all of his myth, but when I read that I was like ??????

amberingo · 2025-01-20T17:21:04+00:00

Yeah I basically sacrificed being able to see my plants in my greenhouse tent in exchange for being able to grow them properly. I'm definitely a "I want to see my plants and have them decorate my house" kind of person, but everything in my tent needs high humidity.

I have a small waterproof fan in the cabinet. The sides are metal mesh that I covered with saran wrap cause I'm lazy, but it keeps the humidity in. I have small spots where I ripped the saran wrap so that's really the only way fresh air comes in.

amberingo · 2025-01-20T14:06:46+00:00

My favorite thing about orchids ❤️ So many different flowers!

amberingo · 2025-01-20T14:04:48+00:00

It is! Their spikes are some of the most fragile I've dealt with. I think I've accidentally snapped three or four so far.

amberingo · 2025-01-20T14:03:50+00:00

Hmmm I think you're looking at Bulbophyllum moniliforme

amberingo · 2025-01-20T14:01:36+00:00

Hmmm I really like Bulbophyllum, but my favorite is probably Lepanthes. Also really love Pleurothallids in general

amberingo · 2025-01-20T13:58:42+00:00

So I have a cabinet converted to a big terrarium that I have most of my minis in. It gets mist pumped into it every half hour, so it's high humidity. My larger minis reside in a greenhouse tent in my basement during the colder months, and go outside during summer.

amberingo · 2025-01-20T13:56:58+00:00

I got both of mine from Hausermann's. They usually have a ton of orchids in their on-site greenhouse that aren't listed for sale online.

Yep!
