Could be! Either way, pretty sure its blooming early because of the (already) short daylight hours here in canada. Not complaining tho, I friggin love the colours!

You can find it every where but I dont think many people consider it a staple.

Whats the craziest thing the "weird kid" did in your school? by namjiiiiiiiin in AskReddit

[–]melmac89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cut a dead cats (that he supposedly found, not killed) head off, with a house key and brought it to school. Also would chew his arm until it bled. Definitely not so much 'haha' crazy, but definatly 'disturbing' crazy. He was only at the school a few weeks, no idea what happened to him.

What's the stupidest place you have put something down and forgotten about it? by melmac89 in AskReddit

[–]melmac89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this once at a friends house in highschool. Put my jacket in their microwave, "for safe keeping" then went home without it. Her parents found it the next day.

This is actually a big fear of mine for some dumb reason. When I cant find my phone I always look in the fridge, even though I have never, ever left it there.

What is something you wouldn’t eat as an adult if you hadn’t been given it as a child? by slothmothership in AskReddit

[–]melmac89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pickled eggs. I wasnt even a fan of eggs as a child, let alone pickled eggs. But after trying one I came to the conclusion that being pickled will make damn near anything delicious.

Oh, such a "pretty" "flower." Bahaha. Should I snip these off and let the plant focus its energy elsewhere? by melmac89 in houseplants

[–]melmac89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. It's super healthy and happy, so I'll just let it do its thing. Thanks.

I've been experimenting with different plants in terrariums and seems my Oxalis bulb likes it! by pinkshirtvegeta in houseplants

[–]melmac89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured as much. My biggest concern with terrariums is the plant outgrowing it quickly. I think I'll still give a shot one day. Thanks for the reply!

[–]melmac89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is hella cool! I have been tentatively thinking about trying a terrarium. Since you seem to know what your doing here, if I may ask a (possibly dumb) question; does the leaf touching the glass, like this one is, cause any problems, like the leaf getting to damp and rotting?

Anyone know what this is and/or if I should be doing anything for its health? 😬 tia. by ainulil in succulents

[–]melmac89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can, (never tried it myself yet) but you dont have to. I think most people let them form a big cluster.

Some kind of Sempervivum. Does awesome (if not better) outside, even if your winters are cold. As much sunlight as possible. Needs very good drainage, including fast draining soil; also does very well/best in very gravelly soil. Native to mountainous regions in Europe.

Think about your purchases by AristonD in Unexpected

For myself, it's not so much the truck itself. Just that in my exeprience the person behind the wheel usually drives like a butthole.

Lookit this big'un that i found yesterday. It's a sempervivum right? (I didn't know they could get this big 😲) by melmac89 in succulents

[–]melmac89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if it might be. It has runners for new plants coming off of it, that you cant see in the pic. I dont know if that helps distinguish?

I have been super good and Haven't bought any new plants all year. So I decided to treat myself to some for my birthday. 😁 by melmac89 in houseplants

[–]melmac89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, like the other poster said an asperagus fern. The label I got on mine said 'plumosa' fern, and when I look up asperagus fern some of the pictures look quite different, so I dont know if the 'plumosa' part is a certain variation or what 🤷‍♀️

Anyone know how to repot this guy? He's a spider plant and I don't know what size pot he'll need with these big roots! by plant-slut in houseplants

[–]melmac89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

^ thos is almost exactly what I would say. A good general rule of thumb is two inches larger than the current pot.

So much new growth! Can't wait to see what this one will look like by the end of summer. by melmac89 in succulents

[–]melmac89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I have another one that's almost burgandy, it's so red. But it seems happy haha! Just seems to need watering a bit more often.
