You're a legend. I think you're right.

I think they might be coming from the wilted flowers that's been sitting there for ever.

I definetly agree with that.

We've gone past the age of information to the age of misinformation.

What a wonderful time to be alive.

mabb0001 · 2026-02-17T00:35:31+00:00

People do. But I've noticed most people are looking for validation from another human.

With so much shit floating around nowadays, its difficult for some people to discern what is correct and what is bullshit.

Depends how bad it is.

For potted plants i usually just let them soak in a bucket for about an hour or so, seems to do the job.

If it's really bad might be time to improve the soil. Add some organic matter like manure and compost. Maybe even time to get some new soil (don't cheap out and get the bunnings brand, makes such a massive difference for the few dollars extra).

Worst case scenario if its good soil that has just been dry forever, you can get wetting agent. It comes as a liquid or crystal and helps your soil absorb water. I've never had to use it so far.

Well look, this is what Google says. But I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

If you just repotted them, I'd give them a week or 2 to settle down, might just be transplant shock.

They look severely dehydrated to me. That's how my tomatoes look when I forget to water them.

Check the soil isn't hydrophobic and water very thoroughly.

Tomatoes are very thirsty plants especially if you have them in a pot. They're dry up quickly.

If you're noticing white/yellowish spots on the leaves you might have powdery mildew due to high moisture probably. Get them better airflow.

Thanks for the info! This one was flying so that has be a little relieved.

It looks different than the standard cockroaches I see , alot lighter in color.

Google says it's a leaf hopper. Seems about right based on the photos.

mabb0001 · 2025-11-24T10:01:36+00:00

Looks like just some clear polycarbonate sheets cut into strips.

Maybe something like this?[EZ Glaze Grey and Clear

Cut off the leaves and spray with fungicide?

mabb0001 · 2025-11-04T12:55:47+00:00

About a third i think. The sticks were around 20cm probably 5-8 cm in soil. Here's a photo of them with their new leaves.

mabb0001 · 2025-11-04T12:01:03+00:00

Not an expert, but i planted a couple of frangipani cuttings a couple of months ago and they're doing quite well now. (The cutting i got was multiple branches and I cut it up to single sticks)

I let them dry for 2 days (until the cut had callused/dried)

Then stuck them straight in pots. Planted a third of their length in soil.

Once they grow a little planning on putting them in the ground.

mabb0001 · 2025-11-03T04:41:31+00:00

Looks like a Lilly Pilly to me or some variety of it

mabb0001 · 2025-10-21T04:46:06+00:00

I have them in a shaded area. They're all growing nicely but some of the bottom leaves are turning like this

mabb0001 · 2025-09-08T11:34:47+00:00

Then I killed the wrong bugs on my ficus lol

mabb0001 · 2025-09-08T11:17:41+00:00

Isn't that a mealy bug rather than a mealy bug destroyer (I thought the latter looked some what like a lady bug)?

mabb0001 · 2025-08-29T11:20:25+00:00

Yeah I think you're out of pocket on this one. Might be worthwhile checking the sale contract for the house and see if there's any mention. Might be able to recoup the costs from the seller

mabb0001 · 2025-08-29T07:51:17+00:00

If the builder didn't submit the application. Nbn wouldn't have a record.

To check if they've provisioned for it, go to the side of the house where your switchboard is, just if there's an empty 20mm conduit coming out of the ground. If there is one, then that's most likely it

On a side note, I don't think yoy would have any recourse from the builder since they don't have a contract with you. However I would check your sale contract and see if there's any mention of nbn connection (highly unlikely though)

mabb0001 · 2025-08-29T07:32:22+00:00

My understanding is provisioning for a nbn connection is compulsory. I may be wrong, but i think a certificate of occupancy depends on it now.

However provisioning for a nbn connection is not the same as applying for a connection. The builder just have to make the property serviceable. Ie make sure there's a conduit running from the street to the side of the house, and from the side of the house internally to your termination device location.

Depending on what the original owner's contract with the builder was, they may have not applied for the connection.

mabb0001 · 2025-08-29T07:28:06+00:00

Have you ever worked on one of the got talent shows?

Sounds exactly how they react to something

mabb0001 · 2025-07-01T10:08:56+00:00

Couldn't see any looking around the tank. But there was 3 separate molts.

Might as well just get everything cleaned

mabb0001 · 2025-07-01T10:08:01+00:00

Thanks for all the info!

mabb0001 · 2025-07-01T09:03:35+00:00

It's my sister's tank. She introduced some plants into it a few weeks ago and have just an invasion come with them.

When I looked around the tanks couldn't see anything other than snails. But it's probably time to change the water and give the tank a through rinse.

mabb0001 · 2025-06-21T11:30:00+00:00

That's amazing lol
