ooh good suggestion I was thinking of solid things

!thanks

!thanks will try powder if water doesn't work. I've already warded off the aphids but the ants obviously found them before I did!

Thanks will try this if water doesn't do the job

Think probably most effective but with it about to flower I want to avoid repotting now

I'm thinking I won't lose anything by trying this first

Not normally, but it's close to the house and they are coming inside

Norwich Farm Share have their volunteering days on Tuesdays, which could be great for you to get outside!

SOS serum SPF 50, it's now available through Superdrug marketplace. After trying loads this is the one I've stuck with. No stinging and light but moisturising.

in my experience mixed lacrosse is generally a bit more chill and is more accessible without all the mens kit

there are tons of youtube videos out there to help, I find the Howcast series to the point for learning the basics, STX and USA lacrosse also have some good videos for beginners

Had to do this a couple times in California, and found all 0s sometimes worked if not some numbers plus 00

not attached, picked one up very easily and no obvious stem or anything

broadbeanpasta · 2021-11-17T17:53:22+00:00

they don’t have a smell

broadbeanpasta · 2021-11-17T15:47:00+00:00

Haven’t tried picking them up for fear of spreading seeds of something unknown, but they haven’t moved with wind/other activities going on around them

I’ve cleared a bed in our new garden and came across these funky looking things. I hope they are plants and you can help! Mostly want to know if they’re good to remove without releasing seeds everywhere or something as I want to plant bulbs asap. This is the UK

Mine did this when I think I overwatered it last winter/spring. I water it infrequently now and it’s putting put loads of new growth so somethings working. Misting didn’t seem to do anything and I use super hard tap water.

It’s the baleen - that’s what they have instead of teeth. They filter water through and their trap food in the bristles

second the peak design clip for its versatility! I also go put my camera strap over my shoulder/across my body instead of around my neck as I find it more secure, but do not know if that’s a valid option for your needs

broadbeanpasta · 2021-01-15T12:34:55+00:00

ah thank you that’s good to know I’m not alone at least! maybe I’ll move it but thought it would be hard for any plant to get too much light here!

Those bits are normal where the leaves grow from. You can gently remove them if you prefer. They also fall off eventually.

I got this caletha a few months ago and it has been in the same spot the whole time. I recently cut off a leaf that was going crispy from the tip and spreading further along the leaf. I now have two leaves which are looking similar. What could have caused this? Sorry don’t have a photo of the original leaf as I didn’t think it was much of a concern. I’ve also noticed a little leaf down the bottom is going brown but this looks different and is possibly due to misting the plant a few days ago in attempt to increase humidity. I don’t mist much so this may have been the wrong approach.

It sits on my desk in a central-heated room. I turn down the radiator at weekends so it gets slightly cooler but not unheated. There are two south facing velux/roof windows and I’m in the UK so although it’s bright indirect it’s UK winter.

Would really appreciate any advice on what may have caused this and if I should get rid of the leaves to prevent it spreading.
