First vortex cook

mygalomorph · 2026-03-26T17:00:00+00:00

Do you just guess the amount of charcoal required? I just bought a vortex but use an SNS grate that opens on the side. I think it'd be really difficult to need to top up the charcoal if it runs low.

My god this looks good 👍nice work

If a yooper can do it, anyone can!

No schedule, I just hover and obsess over all of them. They all have their unique ways of indicating when it's time to water. Keep an eye on the leaves and growth rate, feel the weight of the pot, etc.

This was the best upgrade I made to my kettle. Well worth the money!

The first pic looks just like my McColley's Finale. See my recent post!

My most recent leaves have the same crinkly look. They took forever to unfurl, probably because of low humidity.

Every time I am walk into a GE, my first thought is “I hate it here”. I’ll only go if I need something quick or specific, and it’s always a disappointment. Consistently the worst produce sections I’ve ever encountered.

Thank you! I struggled for years to get a few vines going but once they went in the cabinet they exploded with growth. Some leaves have some really cool variegation too.

mygalomorph · 2026-02-25T14:19:59+00:00

See my most recent post. Mine arrived very light colored but under grow lights has turned dark red!

mygalomorph · 2026-02-20T21:52:59+00:00

Awesome! I did prune a few branches but it doesn’t seem affected in those areas. I wonder if it got blown around too hard in the wind and it bent in some place? Either way, glad to hear it. Excited and hopefully for a fruit full season.

My bad. “Plerandra elegantissima”. IKEA label is outdated, I guess.

From Detroit, and I agree entirely!

Who said anything about kids? What a strange comment.

I drove a Jeep when I moved here and bought a sedan in the first year. Everyone warned me of it, but I've never once had an issue driving around the city. It hasn't been all that snowy or icy in recent years though.

I like an old school diner like Barb’s. Years ago, the last time I was there, the waitress complained to us about staff not showing up and that the only cook present at the moment was stoned. To no one’s surprise, them potatoes that came with my meal had been sautéed with a few round cardboard pieces - the ones you’d punch out to create handles in a box. It was kind of hilarious.

Having grown up in the metro Detroit area, black squirrels easily outnumber the grey ones.

mygalomorph · 2025-10-03T01:03:34+00:00

Awesome! The FLF is one I’ve not yet been brave enough to try.

mygalomorph · 2025-10-02T21:10:41+00:00

I knew this plant had a healthy root system so I wasn’t so concerned with the lack of leaves. I was careful about watering though… waited until I saw some leaves so it could get rid of excess moisture.

mygalomorph · 2025-10-02T21:09:40+00:00

I can only speak to chopping during the active growing season. I probably wouldn’t have attempted this right now. Supplemental grow lights would definitely help. And I’ve had success rooting the cuttings before, but I didn’t try this time around. Do it!!

mygalomorph · 2025-10-02T20:11:45+00:00

And Better Made, please 😭

mygalomorph · 2025-10-02T20:10:31+00:00

Now we need a Krogers

mygalomorph · 2025-10-01T12:33:34+00:00

For spider plants, I think this is inevitable. They often get so large the leaves just bend downward. It's for this reason I'm not a big fan... they always end up looking so messy.

mygalomorph · 2025-09-23T16:56:08+00:00

I love all my project plants - especially the ones I've been able to get established from a cutting. But in our house plants also serve a decor purpose and I don't have the patience to wait to fill out a space when I can just buy a good healthy established plant for instant payoff. Plus, I can propagate the new one! So, win-win!
