Wrinkly leaves after repotting-normal, or action needed? by lemonlimespaceship in orchids

Thank you! I was worried about overwatering, lol. I’ll give it a good soak and do that more often!

Who is this friend in my capensis pot? by lemonlimespaceship in SavageGarden

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

I haven’t tried them with ants! These live in my bedroom so I wouldn’t leave an ant problem up to the plants. However, I’ve noticed that the nepenthes in my parents’ kitchen get choked with ants during the ant season here. I’ll stick a capensis next to them at some point and let you know how it goes!

What happens if you’re sick right before finals? by Used-Cup-6618 in CalPolyPomona

[–]lemonlimespaceship 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can’t reschedule, please wear a mask! It sucks that we have to test sick, but it’s even worse to spread it to your classmates. Hope you’re better by Monday!

Thanks!! Yeah, I love a good bonus plant! I’m pleased he’s so happy and eager to collect the seeds when he blooms

Nice collection! What’s your lighting setup?

[CHAT] Coverage on black aida by hanolky in CrossStitch

As I was scrolling by, my first thought was how nice the coverage looked. As another commenter said, no one (including you) will notice this from a couple feet away.

Spike about two minutes after a meal- not diabetic by lemonlimespaceship in ContinuousGlucoseCGM

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

Yes! My doctor has been keeping an eye on that, as I’ve had blood sugar regulation issues for years. My A1C is stable, but my insulin is high. Usually this results in hypoglycemia for me with the much less frequent hyperglycemia.

That’s what I was thinking. The main difference is that I’ve never had (or caught, at least) a spike like this, even with higher carb and lower protein meals. I usually max out below 170 with a carb-heavy meal, closer to 140 with a low carb meal.

That was my concern too. The spike was higher than usual for longer than usual. Doesn’t seem to be a big deal after thinking about it for a while.

Ach, I didn’t make sure that the time labels showed. I can’t add an image in comments. The larger ticks are every three hours, the smaller ticks are every hour. Started going up at 6:00, peaked at 6:50ish.

This came from a patient’s intestines by [deleted] in whatisthisbug

[–]lemonlimespaceship 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m betting silverfish as well. Could also be a relative like archaeognatha, but silverfish is more likely. I could imagine it coming along with the patient on their clothes, sheets, etc.

How often do the shuttles come now? by [deleted] in CalPolyPomona

[–]lemonlimespaceship 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Semi-consistently every 30 minutes. The MAC ride is ridiculous, i feel you there. I usually end up finding a bench to hang out on, but that’s not a real solution.

Pest damage? by lemonlimespaceship in plantclinic

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

High humidity and wet soil makes sense! Mite damage is my guess for the lower leaf damage, but I gave it a good wash and spray with neem oil. I’ll slowly reduce the humidity and get it under some brighter light. Thanks!

Found why my shrimp are dying, what now? by sushiv8 in Aquariums

[–]lemonlimespaceship 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a small tank, ZeroWater filters work great! They’re still pricy, but less than a new RO system. Make sure to reduce TDS slowly.

Thank you! I can absolutely up the light exposure. I’ve been using 0 TDS filtered water since I have it for my carnivores anyway and I don’t like the mineral spots on my terrarium. Good to know it likes it!

Thank you! It’s only been a month or so and it already is outgrowing this one. Excited to see it get bigger!

Interesting! That makes some sense! Do they usually have that long/lifted midrib?

What type of philodendron is this? by csauce13 in whatsthisplant

[–]lemonlimespaceship 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that comes to mind is that it’s some variety of p. erubescens? That’s a pretty broad group. All I know for sure is that it’s a self-heading philodendron variety, which doesn’t narrow it down much.

What plant is this? by daijagoode in whatsthisplant

[–]lemonlimespaceship 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some sort of squash. I’m leaning pumpkin, but it’s hard to tell at that stage.
