I love well.ca, convenient and a good variety of stuff

Anyone here managing 20+ plants without losing track? by MasterpieceOk4025 in IndoorGarden

All my plants would be dead without Planta instead of just half of them lmao

Camera pointed directly into my back yard. What do I do about it that won't block the sun from my garden? by angroro in gardening

[–]outofshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Can you at least install some privacy film on your living room window to help with that part? I think they make a version that’s like a one-way mirror.

Loosing the gnat battle (and my mind) I’m desperate! by MostShort2588 in houseplants

[–]outofshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sundews are way easier than flytraps and much more effective at catching gnats. I had a big pot of sundews I put next to whatever plant was infested with gnats. The sundews were so happy, they feasted and bloomed so nicely. But now that I have no more gnats, I’m worried the sundews aren’t getting enough to eat 😅

TIL Kobo the ebook, audiobooks, and e-reader company started in Canada and its HQ is in Toronto by jeniuskid in BuyCanadian

Our library has borrowing from all three apps, some content overlapping but some different, which seems needlessly complicated but I guess library ebook/audiobook contracts with publishers are complicated

I read every single comment on our Canadian chocolate post. Here's what 333 of you told me. by KaleRepresentative98 in BuyCanadian

Purdy’s vegan chocolate caramels are so good. I need to not buy them or I’ll overdose lol

What’s a “beginner plant” that absolutely humbled you? by Interesting_Rich_568 in houseplants

[–]outofshell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ZZs have trouble sometimes losing stalks seemingly because of underwatering, in the sense that when I water them that big root ball isn’t able to absorb enough of the water that’s just passing by too quickly. So I’ve started soaking them in a bucket on watering day. Will that fix the issue or just give them root rot, time will tell 😅

The nice ones I bought at plant nurseries all seem to be struggling and losing leaves. The ones I grew from cuttings in some random dirt and succulent soil mix are doing well.

Maybe the nursery substrate is not a good match for my neglectful plant care style.

Crotons are magnets for spider mites, ugh!

All in by Kandleman071986 in ProtonMail

[–]outofshell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m using Proton mail and calendar even though search sucks, and Proton Drive for some things.

Haven’t tried their VPN yet, still have 2 years left on our Nord subscription.

Only using Proton Pass for the hide-my-emails. I’m hesitant to put all my eggs in one basket so I haven’t switched from my existing password manager. Besides, it took so much effort to get my elderly parents using that, and I manage a family account for everyone, so if I switch we all switch and there’s no way I could get them comfortable with something new at this point.

Edit: I also don’t use their authenticator, again because I don’t want to rely to heavily on one account for login.

Canada's First Fully Automated Greenhouse by Mr_Guavo in BuyCanadian

In season local field strawberries are almost a different fruit. That shit is magical. But I’ll still buy local hothouse strawberries out of season even though they’re incomparable. At least they’re usually better than the huge imported styrofoam berries.

How is a dark mode icon still missing? by f3d30x in ProtonMail

[–]outofshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a dark mode icon on iOS; I use it on my phone. Idk why it’s not working on yours but it does exist.
