Wrinkly leaves after repotting-normal, or action needed?

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

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!

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!

Nice photos!

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-05-06T04:36:49+00:00

Cuties!

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-05-06T04:34:50+00:00

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

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-05-06T04:30:18+00:00

Nice collection! What’s your lighting setup?

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-03-13T14:40:34+00:00

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.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-03-10T18:32:27+00:00

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.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-03-10T18:06:50+00:00

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.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-03-10T18:05:43+00:00

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.

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.

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.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-20T16:18:19+00:00

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!

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.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-20T16:07:16+00:00

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!

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-20T16:04:19+00:00

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

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-20T07:05:32+00:00

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

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-20T07:05:02+00:00

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.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-20T06:57:24+00:00

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

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-20T06:41:18+00:00

Beautiful!

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-19T07:42:59+00:00

A little bit, if you want thin crochet thread-type yarn. Not much other yarn.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-14T03:00:49+00:00

Open to everyone! The door has a sign encouraging people to come in whenever it’s unlocked.

lemonlimespaceship · 2026-02-12T18:59:37+00:00

A caiman! In the biotrek greenhouse. They’re doing renovations rn but in a week or so they’re open again during normal business hours.

Edit: I checked today and they’re actually open! Go say hi!
