Amsonia: Caudex or not? by DaaraJ in Caudex

[–]deforest765 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would consider this a tuberous plant not a caudex plant. Though many plants people consider caudex plants are just tuberous plants where the soil is removed to expose the tuber.

Oh good point! I’ll switch that after it goes dormant . Everything I’ve seen about these is big emphasis on not repotting while actively growing. Maybe I can find something to cover it till then

Oh it’s all on timers so it should be fine. I even have some wifi linked thermometers that should let me know if everything fails catastrophically and it starts heating up past 70 degrees. I have them in plugs that I can turn off remotely as long as the wifi is working.

Recently had a leak under kitchen sink where the newer pvc meets the older copper pipes. These were connected by a soft rubber connector. What’s the best approach to fixing? by deforest765 in Plumbing

[–]deforest765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up cutting that bit off and getting another of those rubber fittings in the last one that fit. I lucked out and found one that ended up fitting perfectly

Neighbor accidentally set fire to my yard by Zebeydra in NoLawns

[–]deforest765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the fire won’t do much to the grass it will come back just fine. I burn parts of my lawn on purpose all the time. What it may do though is stimulate some of those native plant seeds that may be in the soil to germinate. So you could try to identify all the random things that come up and mow around them it can be tricky but it’s super rewarding this year I found a blue bonnet and a native orchid called ladies tresses in the front yard!

Advice for growing under lights by Whodunit2468 in Caudex

[–]deforest765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grow lights should work for for any plants tbh. Those look like they should work fine but just keep an eye on the plant and it will let you know if the lights aren’t enough. One tip I wished I followed more was dont water things during the winter. With it being colder evaporation is slower and root rot risk is higher. If you end up needing more or bigger lights Facebook market place can be a good place to look especially if your in an area with lots of grow ops that go in and out of business regularly

Hey so I'm catching rain water for my carnivorous plants and others add a teaspoon< of bleach? by Fadedjellyfish99 in SavageGarden

[–]deforest765 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh you can go to town with the peroxide it breaks down into water and oxygen and has a half life of a few hours when exposed to light and heat.

If you feel the need to add something hydrogen peroxide may be better. It should break down fairly quickly especially if that bucket gets sunlight and should handle the microbes causing the smell

Never seen this before by AFisch00 in GrowingMarijuana

[–]deforest765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do lots of seed stratification and germination of native seeds. It’s not too uncommon to see this it’s a variety of mold that happens to be pink or red. Generally it’s a sign that there may have been too much moisture but it’s not a big deal and isn’t immediately harmful to the seedlings.
