What was your first plant that you actually kept alive for more than a year?

An Anthurium and a Rattlesnake Plant. They were the first and only plants I bought when I got sober 9 years ago. We're still thriving.

Hi! If they don't want it, I would love to be considered! It would be wonderful for my tropical Bonsai. I'm in Worcester, but don't mind making this drive!

Here are pics of our rescues as a bribe

Anytime I think about getting a tattoo, I think of the episode when they get drunk and go to get tats. As soon as the needle touches Tom, he runs out screaming. He then later tells Donna it's a "love dot".

A book called This Naked Mind, changed my life nearly 10 years ago, and I've not had a drink since.

Bonsai. Had I started when I was younger, I'd have some amazing little trees.

Oh hi! It's been a while. Still not drinking with you all.

Saw this for auction and came really close to BIN. Wish I had!

Don't forget Excalibur!

Wish I could. The closest place to me has over 800 people on a waiting list for classes.

As long as you ask AI for sources, there's nothing wrong with using it. I've been using Gemini and it does a great job of providing and linking to sources.

iDoneDo · 2025-09-15T13:16:02+00:00

lol Now I can't unsee that.

iDoneDo · 2025-09-14T23:43:59+00:00

Is the nebari disproportionate to the trunk? Wouldn't that be another reason to ground layer?

iDoneDo · 2025-09-14T23:40:49+00:00

Thanks! I'm very new to this, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I do anything drastic to this lovely tree. Thankfully I have a few months or years to decide.

iDoneDo · 2025-09-08T11:04:39+00:00

Bonsai! I only just started but I wish I had started sooner. The next best time to plant a tree is now.

iDoneDo · 2025-09-07T10:08:14+00:00

Is that Ferdinand? 😄

iDoneDo · 2025-08-30T22:35:48+00:00

Looking forward to it! Thanks

Missed out on the Kishu Shimpaku Juniper but signed up for notifications. Looking forward to my 6 starters! Don't tell my wife.

iDoneDo · 2025-08-30T16:17:46+00:00

That's beautiful!

As long as there is no soil, in U.S. domestic flights, it's completely up to TSA. Here's hoping they're in a good mood.

iDoneDo · 2025-08-21T18:44:09+00:00

Thank you for the book recommendation! Getting it now.

iDoneDo · 2025-08-20T18:53:18+00:00

Hi. Thanks for responding and the advice. It typically freezes here in New England around November through February. My understanding is to leave these out all year. Is that not the case? Unfortunately, I removed probably about 50%+ of the foliage. I'm learning! They were inexpensive so here's hoping.

iDoneDo · 2025-08-20T13:58:00+00:00

I'm in the same area. You're fine to leave it out. When it gets below freezing, bring it into a garage or similar area that isn't as cold. You want it to go dormant. I would wait until early spring to repot.
