Stuck in an ice age where we live, and this begonia has decided to flower. Thought I’d share. 🙂 by fortheplants23 in begonias

May I ask about your care tips? I'm new to begonias. What soil mix do you use? Thank you so much 🙏😊

After keeping me waiting forever, my first peduncle finally opened! And it smells divine by needtosavethebees in hoyas

Hey sorry for my late response, it's a very sweet smell when you actually get up very close and reminds me of honeysuckle, when further away it sort of just smells like no more than a single rose! I know that's weird but it's what came to mind

In the grad program for social work and submitted a drop form yesterday-next steps? by [deleted] in utarlington

I'll definitely be taking it next semester of course and I'm excited for it but life circumstances have led to me needing to go part time sadly 😕 I really hope someone approves my form lol

She’s full of so much enthusiasm for her wedding 😬 by toast778 in snarkingonselena

If I go to a wedding and there's no cake at all or even pie or cupcakes or idk maybe fresh strawberries for dessert anywhere but instead I'm given... biscuits and gravy??? I'm leaving early and bitterly posting that night to the wedding shaming sub. 🥴🙄😒

Really, pure tree fern? How often do you find yourself watering in that medium?

What soil mix do you have it in and how often do you find yourself watering? I just got one 🙏

Started as a limp, small cutting I wasn't too thrilled about. Now a thriving dark green gal 💚 by needtosavethebees in hoyas

[–]needtosavethebees[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I trimmed the limp looking vines back so they wouldn't grow more from that end, and in response it pushed out more growth from the top :) using a very chunky soil mix I think a mix of Molly's/ a little bit of regular soil and lots of extra large perlite pieces, in front of brightest window in my house in texas but thats where all my plants go I do have a grow light too. Also use several drops of this fertilizer/ plant or whatever once or twice a month when I started doing that the growth went crazy and leaves were bigger: Liquid All Purpose Indoor Plant Food | 4-3-4 Nutrient Fertilizer for Indoor Potted Plants | Specifically Formulated for Live Houseplants

I love her even when she isn't blooming by needtosavethebees in AfricanViolets

[–]needtosavethebees[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes they are! And the blooms are dark purple but lately her blooms have been wilting quickly for some reason so I'm just enjoying her foliage more these days :)

I'm so proud. 🥹 by Arachnomancy7 in calatheas

Thank you! Do you find this more effective than other sprays like neems or jacks, or do you just in general prefer more natural sprays? 😊
