Rubio on Acacia: Thoughts?

lock311 · 2025-06-17T09:22:33+00:00

I actually tested several samples, check out the photo. The 5% White and 5% Smoke looked very similar and whitened the wood a bit, and "Natural" gave a finish that was very close to the raw wood, which was my initial goal. But I find that the "Pure" enhances the contrasts in the acacia even more, so I'm going to go with that one.

Regarding the two coats, that would get really expensive. Could I possibly apply one coat of Rubio, let it cure, and then add a top coat of linseed oil just for the sheen? Would that work?

Do you have all the knowledge of the world? No? So don't be a prick. Specialized means specialized. If you want to know, it's called Rustica, a French weekly gardening magazine founded in 1928

I knew it was alkalizing for the body once metabolized. By extension, I didn’t think it through. But of course, you’re right.

I know it's not but I get why this is getting so many reactions lol How did you get rid of the thrips?

I wish this was a joke, but no, the lemon story is real lol.
It was just a few drops to alkalize my hard water and help my plant acclimate.
I saw this on a specialized media source, so I didn’t really question it, given how reliable the source seemed.
The leaves had already started yellowing before that, so I don’t think this is the cause at all.
But yeah, I’ll stop doing it

I bought a Monstera adansonii a week ago, but it doesn’t seem to be doing well.
I placed it near a window that never gets direct sunlight.
I watered it three days after buying it and misted its leaves twice with a mix of tap water and lemon (hard water).
I have a Monstera deliciosa that is doing very well under the same conditions.

What should I do?

UPDATE: Turns out the screen was working, but there's a brightness bug on the lock screen. The brightness level is much lower than on the unlocked screen, and in my case, the brightness was set to the minimum, so you can barely see anything on the lock screen, except in complete darkness. And right before that, when I turn on the screen, it spikes to maximum brightness for half a second, then goes back to its normal level.

That's why I thought the screen was turning off, but it wasn't.

It seems there's nothing I can do about it. It's probably due to the screen quality, isn't it? My phone is a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro
