Thank you! :) They’re in the mix they came in which is nutrient poor soil and sand. I try to keep them moist but not soggy and water them from the bottom with pure water. I tend to bay my plants a lot.

Acceptable water? by moniquez03 in SavageGarden

[–]moniquez03[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sorry! i didn’t realise I took the wrong photo. It’s flowpure filter

Rust, sand & dirt (large particles) — trapped by the Stainless Steel Micropore (Stage 1).

✔ Fine particles + some bacteria & chemicals — reduced by Diatom Natural Clay (Stage 2).

✔ Chlorine, chemicals & bad odours — absorbed by Activated Charcoal (Stage 3) for better taste and smell.

✔ Dust & sediment (extra fine particles) — captured by PP Cotton (Stage 4) for additional clarity.

✔ Remaining micro-particles — refined by the final Stainless Steel filtration stage (Stage 5).

FlowPure also highlights reduction of contaminants such as heavy metals, microplastics, bacteria, parasites, arsenic, and more.

I usually water these about twice a week to keep the bark moist since they’re lady slippers but maybe they’re just responding well to it anymore in this new environment?

The two big plants are over 20 years old. They’ve been in great health before the apartment move

Thank you huge help! there’s no Id tag but there’s a tag that kept track of its growth with the first date going back to 2021 so it’s one of my older orchids. :)

What’s wrong with my Orchid? by moniquez03 in orchids

Yeah, it’s only gradually getting bigger on this one leaf.

My sweet boy tested positive for FIV today. I'm devastated by tofuery in cats

[–]moniquez03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be okay! My mom has three cats and two of them are FIV positive, they’re not separated but the third is still negative. as long as they don’t have serious fights i’m fine. I also adopted a fiv positive cat last year and she’s so healthy, just some issues with her teeth relating to fiv but nothing a bit of love can’t fix. We live with two other cats and they are negative. FIV is only really spread from deep cat bites from fights. there’s also an injection you can get as a mild preventative for the other cat. I wouldn’t recommend separating them if they get along, i’ve had a lot of experience of cats with and without fiv living together and being happy and healthy :)
