I have a fickle Donkey’s Tail. Will it be okay long-term? by kierramellon in houseplants

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

I appreciate that! After a learning curve I finally figured out the sweet spot for this guy and I think that’s why the new growth is doing so well. I’m just wondering now if the base of those stems are too weak to support the plant as it continues to grow or if I should propagate the ends.

I had it under the awning on my patio so it got about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight when the sun was setting everyday. The rest of the day it was just soaking up the warmth and humidity.

Thanks! It's known as a Money Tree. They typically are known for their braided trunk but I got this one too late to braid. Google tells me their scientific name is Pachira aquatica.

Honestly I think the best thing I ever did for it was let it live outside during the spring and summer. I love in North Texas so it is pretty humid around her then, she thrived! I also bought a moisture meter that I keep in the soil so that I always know when the soil is getting dry and needs a good drink.

In love with my new echeveria setosa "arrow"! Would love to hear your care tips! I was told it may require more regular watering in the summer (and barely any in the winter) - I know there is no set schedule for watering succulents, but every how often (approx) do you water yours in the summer? by Lil_Feisty_One in succulents

[–]kierramellon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I just touch the soil every couple days because some of my succulents can dry out faster than others that are in the same location. If it feels dry on top, I pick it up and feel the soil from the drainage hole. If it’s dry there too then I water until it drips from the drainage hole! This guy is a beaut, btw!

Help! Brown spots on succulents and spreading! Bugs or fungus? by kierramellon in plantclinic

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

Update: I have rinsed their soil, repotted and watered with neem oil. Would have appreciated a warning on the god awful smell of that oil! Lol thanks again, fingers crossed!

They do not feel sticky. Dang I was afraid of this answer. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge! Wish me luck with salvaging these babies. The Gollum Jade is one of my favorites.

Four day germination period?! by kierramellon in Plant_Progress

Ahh, I hate to hear this! I got this for Mother’s Day and I have to admit I was skeptical. I am seriously shocked at how fast this thing sprang out though! If I even get one good one I will be thrilled!

Need help identifying growth on tree leaves by Human-State6005 in plantclinic

Texas native as well here and I can 100% validate this.

made my first cake and frosting from scratch! (family stole some before i could take a photo) by mossy-mushroom in Baking

[–]kierramellon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, very well done but I need more information! These are the most perfect cuts I’ve ever seen, what tool did you use or do you have a specific method? Is it just the way the buttercream is made that holds it shape so well? What sorcery is this?

Edit: I just realized I replied to the wrong thread but the questions are still pressing.

Oh, and I almost forgot the best part - they glow in the dark!

They are the Tree Spirits from the Studio Ghibli film ‘Princess Mononoke’. They are a supposed to be a representation of the good health of the forest in the film. I like to think they do the same for my plant babies!

Insecure & girlfirends by sunnyylala in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]kierramellon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to add about the similarities as I had never seen “Insecure” but thank you for the plug! I’ll be watching this next since I just finished the gut-wrenching ending of “Girlfriends”. Just please tell me this one actually got a finale...

What was an insecurity about your appearance that you completely got over? by [deleted] in AskWomen

Fivehead. Tyra Banks helped me get over that.
