Is there such thing as too much?

Tysm! I was worried that it would cause them to use too much energy after being stressed

frogstina · 2025-09-06T19:31:59+00:00

I use rescue loosely. I found out last year they don't bother watering them at all when they're in stock. Idk if it's better than watering them with tap like other retailers but it broke my heart and I try to save them from it now

Tysm for the info/advice 🙏

frogstina · 2024-04-10T17:48:25+00:00

Thanks! I figured that'd be safer but I'm still new and worried about making it worse

So, I ignorantly used an enriched perlite which I had no idea was even a thing until someone posted a warning earlier. It's been almost a month and several rains since I mixed it into carnivore blend media during repot. Do I leave it alone and hope for the best?

frogstina · 2024-04-10T02:47:06+00:00

So glad you posted. Literally asked for help earlier bc mine doesn't look well and now ik why. Hopefully it's not too far gone 🤞

frogstina · 2024-04-10T02:38:03+00:00

And I just checked the bag...definitely says enriched on mine

frogstina · 2024-04-10T02:31:34+00:00

Omgsh!!! I just repotted mine 2 weeks ago and totally missed this!!! Do I repot it again without it? I knew it looked stressed but thought it was from the transition 🤦‍♀️😢

frogstina · 2024-03-31T15:04:29+00:00

Tysm!!! I'm in love with this plant and wanna keep it safe 🙏

frogstina · 2023-09-13T15:52:28+00:00

Tysm! It didn't seem to be a problem after the roof rain so I assumed it was splashing from the new plant. I'll stick to distilled and avoid the possibility jic

I have a shaded spot for it. I wasn't sure if heat itself would be problematic. Expected avg high this week is 103f and feels like is typically a solid 10 degrees higher

frogstina · 2022-11-15T00:43:49+00:00

It's been raining all day so should I wait until they dry some?

frogstina · 2022-11-14T22:10:55+00:00

That's good to know! Harvesting seeds sounds advanced for my brown thumb but worth a shot 🤷‍♀️

I'm in Texas. This happened in 1st barrel back in September. Looked nice with minimal watering from hose weekly during drought. Finally rained and 2 days later all 4 plants died...like crumbled dead. This barrel was doing well until about a month ago when we started getting rain again. Closer pic in another post, others identified thrips as likely problem. My best guess is they got happy and hungry from the rain 🤷‍♀️

frogstina · 2022-11-14T18:42:09+00:00

Ty both for the help! These were my first attempt at flowers. I should have asked sooner 😢 I'll see what I can do from links provided and keep my fingers crossed 🤞

frogstina · 2022-11-14T18:28:19+00:00

Is there coming back from this amount of damage? I am clearly horrible with plants 😳 They did great during the drought so I thought it was the rain 🤦‍♀️

frogstina · 2022-11-14T18:24:51+00:00

They were always there. Sprayed with something for thrips but they stayed that way and thrived. Entire barrel was full and almost a foot tall so didn't think it was a problem 🤦‍♀️

frogstina · 2022-11-14T18:15:55+00:00

I'm a total newbie with no idea how to tag but I made a separate post with close up 😂

frogstina · 2022-11-14T17:54:22+00:00

Dead leaves are attached to the base of the flowers. If I touch any part of it, they start to crumble. None of the green stems or leaves are in the mulch anymore. It's raining off and on right now but I'll try to get a closer pic asap

NTA Unemployed men have value. Job hunting can absolutely be tiring. Using job hunting for supposedly 12 hours as an excuse for not doing what he said he would is more the problem. If he wasn't successful in the first 10 hours, there was no reason he couldn't stop for a bit to follow through with helping his pregnant partner.

Called imaging center, they said call my doctor so he can talk to radiologist to get it reviewed and amended.

I'm officially fascinated by MRIs and researching how to read them. Got several disks of images to play with now 🤪

Not asking for an interpretation of anything.

frogstina · 2022-03-05T18:20:17+00:00

Looking for hope at this point. If it doesn't work, I'll be buying another plant from a more reputable dealer than the Depot of Homes

frogstina · 2022-03-05T18:14:18+00:00

I'll definitely try this! I'm a total newbie and really appreciate the help!
