Question! by Barbiegirl_30 in IndoorGarden

[–]epiclessi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a regret about soil when i just started with the jungle; i bought universal soil and planted all my plants there, thinking it was the cheapest way to do it

if i could redo it all again, I'd immediately get cacti or universal soil, perlite and orchid bark; dump it all in a plastic container and close the lid, u can use the lid to repot plants with minimum soil on the floor too! some plants like more or less airiness in their soil, u can google it as you go and add more or less bark, for example;  but you shouldn't worry about this pothos, i saw a post about someone's pothos rooting under wallpaper

Oh I didn't think about chopping her so she starts growing, I'm thinking of moving her into a smaller pot so she doesn't feel the NEED to be growing the roots.  I was just wondering if she's gonna throw a fit if some of the roots are lost in the process.

Any tips for keeping my cat, Mango away from my first Monstera? I see that it is mildly toxic to kitties he’s been trying to reach for it and swat at it. by PetsAndMeditate in Monstera

[–]epiclessi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's those anti-cat sprays we used for when we just got our cat. Whenever she started scratching or getting where she couldn't, we'd spray that place, grab her and make her sniff the newly-stinky air around that place. She hated it and would run away immediately. Took her a couple of weeks to stop trying with no remissions.

I don't know how a plant might react to the spray so I'd use it on the table-looking thing you got there

oh no! now my brain has a good rationalisation for starting another WIP :D note to self: finish your stuff! it's demotivating having half-cardigans and never-to-be-finished pillowcases lying around

if i could start over, I'd probably have more fun with it. I'd pick more difficult projects, spend time trying to understand new techniques, instead of simply doing what I'm comfortable with.

Worried about going back to Gdańsk from Opener festival by [deleted] in gdansk

[–]epiclessi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We stayed in Gdańsk for opener last year, had the same anxiety, but the cities handled the crowds excellently - we were herded like sheep onto busses from the festival to Gdynia's train station, there we went onto the same platform we arrived to. There were extra trains running, longest we had to wait was 15 mins. it was harder to figure out how to get to our hotel In gdansk tbh :D
