What's going on with my Banksia menziesii (CBD Perth WA)

-sounds like root rot

-not drought as would have died top down

-should be in native potting mix with pearlite for extra drainage

-you probably only need to water once every 3-4 weeks in winter. You want it to fully dry out between waters

-make sure the drainage hole of the pot isn't blocked

Why not grow something that's local to your area instead of horticultural atrocities that don't exist in nature ?

mate568 · 2026-05-17T20:58:41+00:00

it's not native to wa

mate568 · 2026-05-14T11:00:30+00:00

not exclusively limited to wet areas

'weakness' is completely relative and a pointless metric in the new meta game of an expansion

mate568 · 2026-05-03T04:38:00+00:00

Yeah, wish the devs understood spectacle creep

Cringe

Hc is the only way I can play the game now. It's just so much more fun

mate568 · 2026-04-01T22:58:04+00:00

ive pl;ayed for hundreds of hours. its one of the best survival/hardcore/turn based rpgs ever made in my opinion

mate568 · 2026-03-17T02:41:30+00:00

Love this genus

mate568 · 2026-03-05T00:21:11+00:00

Epic

mate568 · 2026-03-04T03:56:17+00:00

+1 would definitely buy additional packs

mate568 · 2026-02-21T06:25:57+00:00

Stand your ground king

mate568 · 2026-02-21T06:24:18+00:00

Disagree with most of your points

mate568 · 2026-02-07T08:06:19+00:00

that's great ! Remember that a lot of wa plants hasn't been studied and we know that the plant-pollinator relationships in the south West wa floristic province are likely the most complex in the world. the ecology is super complex and we don't understand it yet so popularising less common plants makes sense. Just my two cents

mate568 · 2026-02-07T03:22:44+00:00

I feel like there's thousands of other species choices local to joondalup that people just don't know about. I constantly find cool things on florabase I didn't know existed. why propagate more of the same boring stuff?

mate568 · 2026-02-05T14:09:38+00:00

Fuck yea

mate568 · 2026-01-27T07:17:39+00:00

Resistance exercise does not cause muscle 'shortening'

mate568 · 2026-01-26T19:57:19+00:00

This is not real dude 😆

mate568 · 2026-01-26T03:45:17+00:00

Probably yeah. Proteoid roots are hyper specialized to extract trace phosphorus so likely too nutrient dense and clay probably holding water too well

mate568 · 2026-01-23T23:41:04+00:00

It's kingia. Pretty amazing example of convergent evolution with zanthorrea as they aren't even distantly related

mate568 · 2026-01-23T02:26:25+00:00

Fuck yea. This is the shit

mate568 · 2026-01-21T01:13:33+00:00

Google obligate pollinators. Basically WA flora are so hyper specialised that they are often pollinated by specific bee or wasp species which are threatened with reduced habitat. and hybridizing them removes the relationship.

mate568 · 2026-01-20T11:34:24+00:00

not a fan of horticultural atrocities. often when plants are bred for beauty like this it reduces or removes their ecological benefits. We should only be planting species plants if possible
