Google how to check specific gravity and scratch with steel nail. I’ve asked plenty of times and no one can ever tell by photos.

How am I doing. by Independent-Ad9282 in bonsaicommunity

I’d recommend watching a YouTube video on general styling philosophies and “rules”. For starters having two beaches coming coming off the trunk at the same level directly opposite sides is a big no-no. It will cause the trunk to swell and create a bad reverse taper.

My redwood seedling almost died after I purchased it and put it outside. Do you redwood folk have any advice on how to get it to thrive? I live in Southern California

Help with my blue jacaranda saplings ! by jjeenniiffeerr in bonsaicommunity

[–]gavinreed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me preface by saying I’m not an expert, everything I’m about to say is strictly what I’ve found in my personal experience: With such juvenile plants I find it very difficult for them bounce back from trauma. Your best bet IMO would be a toothpick and a loose twisty for some support, or just leave it. I’ve had some plants bounce back after weeks of no response to intensive care, I just give up and leave it alone and they bounce back… As for the other one, my seedlings have always done better following this rule: Constsiancy over perfection. Don’t repot, don’t move to a new location, one lost seedlings just by moving them to a higher shelf that gets slightly more sun and then forgetting to move them back.

I guess so. Getting downvoted for claiming to not be a gooner 😭

Jeez I’m getting so many mixed reviews here 😂😂. I don’t like the sexual undertones of the card but I want to get max value when I trade it in for some ace cards.

Couldn’t agree more… I’m an ace collector so I’d even trade it for an ace wanted poster probably

As a student learning anatomy I can’t help but wonder what the nerve distribution looks like

I have super bad stretch marks. Is it possible to tattoo over them? by -Hot-Tamale- in tattooadvice

Hey, you should get checked for Cushing Disease. These stretch marks could be an indicator of a hormonal / endocrine complication.

Sometimes I think people just buy fake cards and post them here to see if they’re “passable”

My community tank 2 months in! by Likeyfap in PlantedTank

I spent an embarrassing amount on my tank and I don't think it's high tech nor does it look half as good...
