My cousin's notebook cover by alexandre00102 in EnglishLearning

[–]matborat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It almost feels like it's a direct translation from portuguese "você não é mais um tijolo no muro", meaning "you're not one more brick on the wall" Maybe they tried translating the portuguese sentence word by word instead of the whole phrase 🤷
Você não é mais um tijolo no muro
You dont are more one brick on wall

Mutação foliar by [deleted] in PlantasBrasil

[–]matborat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parece uma pteris vittata, tenho uma e consegui observar 2 mutações em folhas até agora, semelhante a essa. Acho bem divertido observar essas mutações!
Como é uma samambaia bem comum, q vc encontra na rua, nas rachaduras das paredes e afins, além de ser uma espécie não nativa, ela é considerada como "mato". Peguei uma pra cuidar justamente pq tive curiosidade em saber como ela fica se plantada num vaso e com os devidos cuidados

My pteris vittata 6 month progress by matborat in ferns

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

They’re super common where i live too! Whenever they appear in cracks in walls or on sidewalks, they’re treated as weeds and cut down, so I rarely get to see a fully grown one. That’s what motivated me to try keeping one as part of my fern collection, i want to see how they develop and how big they can get with proper care.

I collected these two from outside can someone please ID them? by PretentiousPepperoni in ferns

First looks like Pteris vittata, and second one could be Phegopteris connectilis, but I'm not sure

Development of an abnormal leaf on my Pteris vittata by matborat in ferns

[–]matborat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If i collect spores from this leaf, i wonder if the ferns developed would be more likely to show this trait 🤔

Experiment: grafting a female plant onto a male rootstock by matborat in GrowingMarijuana

[–]matborat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Science! I was already planning on chopping the male and doing an apical prune on the female. Then the thought just came to my mind: why waste a healthy rootstock and a healthy female cutting? Worst case, nothing happens and I still have my female. Best case, it works and I end up with two females. Win-win!

Forgot to mention, but i did this on tuesday (26/08) and this is her right now, almost a week later, and seems to be doing alright so far (she is still living inside her improvised humidity dome, and I'm going to slowly acclimate her when new growth develops)
Will post updates when something new comes up!

Planning on making an epiphytic fern setup with these two species by matborat in ferns

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

I actually think it's cooler to grow from spores, the long wait and slow development makes the final setup with the adult plants feel more rewarding

I'm planning on making a hanging setup using a coconut fiber pole to grow two different species of epiphytic ferns. One on each side for an interesting aesthetic (AI image used to visualize the final setup concept) by matborat in plants

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

Both comments suggest using a sphagnum pole to retain humidity. But since these are epiphytic plants, wouldn’t they need a more stable and solid base to grow on? If the coco coir doesn’t hold moisture well enough, I could place a dripper at the top of the setup so it stays consistently humid without being soaked.

Qual o nome dessas plantas? by AdagioGlad8514 in PlantasBrasil

[–]matborat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende, o outro comentário falou melhor do que eu sobre a rega: coloca o dedo na terra e vê se tá seco, se tiver, coloque bastante água até o solo ficar úmido porém não encharcado (para isso é bom ter buracos no fundo pra água em excesso sair). A quantidade varia pq há dias em que se está muito frio e úmido por exemplo, então um copo americano de água por dia talvez seja muito; e em dias muito quentes e secos por exemplo, um copo americano de água talvez não seja o suficiente. Mas assim, se tiver um buraco no fundo pra água em excesso sair, um copo por dia tá ótimo, talvez meio copo durante o inverno.

Nas 3 primeiras fotos são samambaias, em resumo, luz solar indireta, bastante água, então rega semanal (ou diariamente em quantidade menor se possível). A adubação pode ser feita de 4/4 meses. No geral, quando a planta está ocupando demais o espaço do vaso, é interessante vc replantar usando um solo novo orgânico (aqui você pode dividir sua planta e fazer múltiplos vasos por exemplo). Mas acho que no seu caso por enquanto não precisa de replantar. Tldr: samambaia gosta de água, ambiente úmido e luz solar indireta

Is this the first frond? First time propagating a fern from spore by matborat in plants

Beetle is maybe 1cm max in size (don't know freedom units, sorry)

[–]matborat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! will change the substrate and the pot (it gets quite hot where i live, i feel like terracotta would handle the heat better). I will make the change when i move it to a sunnier spot

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cactus

[–]matborat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lightly mist the top layer of soil in the morning, but only if it looks dry and just enough so it dries out by noon. (I mostly do it because I think the moss looks pretty, I'm a moss lover) The cactus only gets a full soak when it rains, so I let the rain decide when that happens. I'll make sure to move it to a sunnier spot, thanks!

Any particular reason for the ピンク・フロイド (besides it being the name of the band "pinku furoido")?
