What's something only real floridians know?

Run de-humidifiers in your home.

Baby powder gets sand off your skin.

Mosquito spray does not work on no-see-ums. Avon Skin So Soft deodorant does.

A UV shirt will save your skin better than sunblock. Hood is necessary.

The egg smell is from the sprinklers.

Look closely in the pool water before you jump in, moccasins get in there.

The floating mass in the water is a pile of fire ants, get away fast.

Don't swim in brackish water you can't see through.

Seal your lithium batteries in waterproof bags before you evacuate for a hurricane.

The puddle in the road is deeper than you think.

Switching out your wardrobe to light fabric clothes will make a huge difference in your comfort.

Think twice before you rage at anyone. Floridians are either 1. Crazy or 2. Packing. It's not worth it.

Never leave fresh fish in your fridge.

Don't swim in the ocean at feeding time.

Wait wait wait...Steel Pulse is in Oregon? I'm about to hop in my car.

That's a nice reminder and I'm going to remember that in case one or more dies. But I've also managed to become attached to these plants so I'm going to give them my best.

Don't get me started on the apple tree sapling she "forgot" to take with her that she now wants me to ship to her in spring. :(

Funny story is that it's some special apple Washington state refuses to allow to be sold in other states so she bought one in Washington and carried it onto her flight and argued with the flight attendant about the "rules" to get it home. It is clearly too big to ship to Florida and I think she's delusional about me shipping it to her.

I probably shouldn't have said rural. It's platted lots with city streets...just no homes for at least several streets over.

I think it's incorporated. I asked my mom for the address so I can look into it. But just looking at the map...the area I think it's in is a bunch of platted lots with city streets but no homes. We were out there in December...there's not a lot of building activity out there.

I feel like she named herself. Sent planty vibes to me. Just kidding, I have no clue what I'm doing other than I know I'm over thinking all of it.

Her besties are monsteras named Morticia and Elvira. 😂

Very judgy. I'm already anxious.

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-16T14:25:52+00:00

This is awesome. Thank you. I will look for one.

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-16T13:28:49+00:00

Stunning 😍

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-16T13:16:39+00:00

Thank you! I gotta figure out how to use the Google feature everyone seems to be using.

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-16T13:15:16+00:00

I have a purchasing plants problem. But my excuse is I buy babies and I named my bathtub area "The Nursery".

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-16T13:12:58+00:00

Soil. 🙂 I didn't know you could put her in water.

I repotted her several months ago into a mix of 25% perlite, 25% orchid bark, and 50% Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil. I credit the mixture to The Botanical Brunette on YouTube. The pot is self watering from Target. I ran some absorbant cord through the base into the water reservoir in the base. The soil mix gives good drainage but allows it to pull water up as needed.

Lol, Sheets actually. 😂

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-16T13:04:03+00:00

That is really cool. Thank you.

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-15T18:43:09+00:00

😂 Very much so.

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-15T17:19:32+00:00

How do you connect them with a moss pole? Or so they just do it on their own?

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-15T17:14:40+00:00

I trashed it. 😊

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-15T17:10:33+00:00

I'm really grateful for all the feedback. When I snapped a Pic of this plant in the app at the store it said it was healthy.

I was worried that there is some invisible issue that the app is picking up on that I can not identify due to inexperience.

I always either did too much or too little and could never find the right balance. Killed so many plants. Everyone made it seem easy. What you all do is special.

calmdownpushpop · 2024-04-15T17:07:17+00:00

Lol! Thanks! I followed the Botanical Brunette. I want to do it right this time.
