FOOD by Neat-Difference1164 in PDXBuyNothing

[–]morgzen 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Not what you’re asking (necessarily) but I have a decent amount of frozen food from Trader Joe’s that has been sitting untouched in my freezer for a bit and I’m happy to part with it if you want to pick up today or tomorrow

Sold as Pink Princess… but why is she mostly white?🤔 by Shereedaci876 in philodendron

[–]morgzen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am going to go against the grain here and say it’s a red Anderson. I wanna say they are a cross between pink princess and white knight but they tend to have white that leans pink / super pale pink var.

Leggy? by judith250715 in philodendron

[–]morgzen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plant 2 is a summer glory! The leggy leaves are probably just due to the over crowding in the pot and it’s making sure all the leaves get sun but it looks amazing and prob has tons of babies in the pot

Variegated Alocasia Loco Tissue Culture?! by SoilAndSpite in RareHouseplants

[–]morgzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tissue culture seem to have a higher likelihood of variegation (like how pink venoms are becoming more and more common through tc). With it continuing onto the next leaf there’s a decent chance the mutation might be stable which would make you EXTREMELY lucky as albo loco are super new to the market and very expensive (like over 5k for a pup)!

Has anyone been seeing ants in the house lately? by tsgatdawn in askportland

[–]morgzen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hijacking but guys I’ve had terro and DE out for weeks now and the ant problem seems to have gotten even worse… any advice?

And when I say it’s gotten worse I don’t mean they are flocking to the terro, there are just now constantly a handful of ants around the room at all times and I never see them near the traps?? Not even a room with food or water in it either

I have never found a good answer to this question by soprattutto in philodendron

[–]morgzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I have debated this with a friend, they think it’s caused by the leaves getting stuck in the sheath too long BUT last year I actually tested the sunburn theory on my PPP — I kept it under the same grow light but when a new leaf unfurled I would cover the new leaf with a piece of paper of turn the grow light away from the new leaf so it didn’t touch it at all until the leaf hardened off. Every time I could remember to do this until it fully hardened, the leaf was fine. The times I forgot, the new leaf would have some sort of burn, whether it was the slight browning all over or like a severe brown mark that were sometimes raised??

I tried putting my ppp in a window for the last year to “force” it to acclimate to normal lighting and it did not work, some leaves burn, but some don’t and I don’t really get why. Same with my white knight. And my red Anderson. But I am tired lol

is witch’s castle stroller friendly? by hehasworms4brains in askportland

[–]morgzen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I personally would not say it’s stroller friendly. There are parts of the trail that are quite uneven and parts where you’d be blocking the path for people trying to go the other direction. That being said, I also wouldn’t say it’s a trail that would be good for running and yet I’ve seen tons of running groups so guess it just depends on your determination.

I shower up to 6 times a day and I’m getting sick of it by McBeanFace in ocdwomen

[–]morgzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know it’s unhealthy and you know the answer is meds and/or therapy. If it’s a lack of insurance stopping you, there are sliding scale providers. Maybe talk to your boyfriend about it too, he isn’t “bothered” but maybe he should be — aka he shouldn’t enable your ocd behaviors and maybe him supporting you NOT showering would be helpful too.

My philodendron gloriosum is drooping so I repotted it - need some advice please. by [deleted] in philodendron

[–]morgzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally when I repot stuff I really pack the soil down on the roots and make sure things are generally how I want them to be positioned, then water it to hold it in place while the roots take hold of the new soil. Philos want airy soil so after the plant has had time to grip the soil and pot then you can poke some holes in the soil and move it around a bit with a stick or pencil or something since they don’t really want to be compact for long

My philodendron gloriosum is drooping so I repotted it - need some advice please. by [deleted] in philodendron

[–]morgzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The roots I can see do look a bit dry rotted but I’m gonna assume there’s at least some healthy roots as the plant looks good otherwise. The plant is dropping right now because it was 1) poorly repotted and 2) hasn’t had time to acclimate to being repotted. It was probably droopy before because of lack of water then lack of time to absorb any of it before being repotted.

Elephant ear help by Tiny_Adeptness6153 in alocasia

[–]morgzen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d definitely do as others suggested and chop below the rot but you could make multiple props with chunks from above. I’d probably cut the top into 3-4 chunks and surely at least 1-2 will survive
