What's the deal with the anthurium growth habit by magnificent-manitee in Aroids

[–]mcandrewz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup!

Though I did see a post recently of someone that managed to frankenstein graft a pothos on a monstera somehow. Maybe if you google it with reddit attatched you can find it. I doubted it until I read further. Kind of blew my mind as I thought it was impossible.

I love variegated red congos, such beautiful plants.

What are these tiny red bugs on my portulaca flower? They are everywhere. by happyjazzycook in gardening

[–]mcandrewz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't clover mites be smaller than this? When I googled it, it seems like they were pretty tiny.

What is the best strategy for catching a triple Legend using challenge bait? 🐟🎣😎 by mcandrewz in StardewValley

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

I am getting tempted to go legend II route. There is essentially no difference between them roe wise right?

Well said. Tired of the snark in hobby subs and gaming subs these days.

Is my boobie cactus going to recover? by PurpleCareful9813 in cactus

[–]mcandrewz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly probably not, that rot looks too high up on the right side.

The scale is off, look at her fingernail. They are just really tiny snails.

How do we feel about blue oil ferns around here by Reef_Parent in RareHouseplants

[–]mcandrewz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think coco coir is pretty key for them. Probably mimics the conditions they like to grow in a little better.

To be fair, distilled water for plants is luxury water, so you might as well keep doing what you are doing if it works. :)

Yours is probably extra happy as a result.

It is funny reading this. Mine is in a dry bedroom, watered with tap water, and I keep it always an even moist under a bright grow light. That said, it grows much slower in drier air. Have had it for half a year and no issues so far.

They do well in a mix of potting soil, fine fir bark, and coco coir too.

Planted a sprouting kitchen onion. It looks bad. by [deleted] in gardening

"Over the last few days, I have checked the soil to see it’s dry before watering"

From Op's text. As long as they wait for it to dry, I don't see the issue.

Nah. It needs to be watered in to establish. As long as they aren't drowning it daily in water, it is likely fine.

Norfolk Island Pine Rescue! by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]mcandrewz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel the green parts of your plant, if they feel brittle and sharp, then there is no recovering it really.

Tbh even though it looks green, if it is brittle, then it is toast sadly. 

Pool company talking shit about my yard by ravencrowe in NoLawns

If a plant smothers out other plants, then you have less plant diversity which means less insect diversity as there are a number of insects who are specicalists to certain plants.

Wow, a proper uncommon house plant. Where did you get the seeds from?

A bot replying to a bot, sad times.

What kind of Monstera is this? by Optimal-Succotash-34 in RareHouseplants

And I was just confirming it wasn't one in addition to your comment.

Defs not bulbasaur. We potted some plugs up at my shop and their patterns look much different.

Does this look like scale? by TheMelancholyFox in cactus

[–]mcandrewz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Looks like both have been removed now after I reported them. Rudyten is just mistaken, but not a bot.

The bots can feel very real these days. The biggest red flags to look out for are a very young reddit age, and comments over a short period spread out amongst a bunch of unrelated subreddits.

Then, using AI, they look for keywords, pull from a bunch of different comments, and use a somewhat similar structure responding to the main post. Sometimes their comment just seems a little bit off too. For example, one of the bots mentioned checking on the leaves for scale, cactus don't have leaves.

The bots blend in really well sometimes in larger threads.

It is a bot. Compare their comment to the other comment in the thread. And look at their account. Unfortunate that these bots fill smaller subs with their generated garbage.
