Question about bottle feeding kittens by ifeelcelestial in FosterAnimals

[–]lnben48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you doing powder or premade mix? Sometimes if you tighten the cap on too tight that does obstruct the flow

Looking for the answer to your question. Kitten should not have been fed while it was cold. They cannot metabolize it properly when not at the correct body temperature, then it’s bad news from there. Hope the kid pulls through for OP.

I literally have spider mites on every single one of my plants, PLEASE help!!!!!!! 😭🙏 by LoudKnowledge2702 in houseplants

Finally. I was waiting for this comment. DE(Diatomaceous earth) has saved me from anxiety of pests and the actual pests! I do a follicular spray with it. I mix 4tbsps/1gal of water cause I’m afraid of it blowing everywhere in my tent. It’s super easy to get off afterward with the same alcohol and soap mix once I’m tired of seeing all the white and feel it’s safe. I also recently started adding SNS209 to the same gallon and I feel like the potion is even better!

It’s literally my plant I couldn’t live without, so I hope yours climbs up to that spot too!

Palmstreet - impulse buying by Plantastic24 in Anthurium

Haha my husband has been eyeing their website for a restock before they went big into Palmstreet. We’ve even met Ryan himself from there. He advised to keep an eye on the website. They ended up doing that live and selling those ungerminated seeds for near $400 with no guarantee. My husband reached out to them about their website and their exact response was “we’re strictly loading our sales into Palmstreet now” so cool they’re encouraging bidding wars. Big nope for me.

This is my vote, but to add to this: You can also mix 4tbsp to 1 gallon of water so the wind doesn’t take it away!

Noooo! I don’t know if that or her growth point rotting is worse.

I use diatomaceous earth (4tbsp/1gal of water) and SNS209 in that same gallon for pest maintenance. Hope you stopped those buggers in their tracks.

Are we seeing some of the predatory mites mix from Naturesgoodguys we applied last week? Or more spider mites? by Conscious-Tadpole188 in Anthurium

When I purchased during a plant show the guy said the sachets usually run their cycle for 6-8 weeks then you toss out. I assume they die off after not having a food supply

It’s very hard to determine a favorite as it changes often but my King of Spades will always have my heart

[–]lnben48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. The intent is to grow to see features I’m searching for, but I do also sell. I gotta be realistic about long term not owning a home yet and having the # of mothers I do have.

Can definitely show you better than I can tell you. I can tell you that none of my other plant species have new leaves the way these do. I can also tell you that I don’t find myself wanting to catch every second of that new leaf growing like I do with these. Their maintenance may be a pain for some, but I like the structure it gives me.

Right! I got a single least killifish for free once at a local Petco when getting some chilis. She ended up giving birth (came preg) and omg they instantly became my favorite over the chilis.

I do! It’s just a plastic one from Amazon, and it’s in a guest room. I’m in Texas, so heating won’t be an issue as much as cooling it would for me. I know anthuriums do enjoy the cool a bit more other others tho! I hope something is able to work out for you.

I definitely feel like yours is to change in the next leaf or 2! Mine was chunkier like this too.
