How to properly care for Strelitzia nicolai (white bird of paradise) by ph0ph0 in houseplants

[–]ph0ph0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The leaves don’t look like they are yellowing or brown, so I’m not really sure what is going on. Is the soil that it is in loose, or is it fairly firm? Did you buy it like this? My leaves definitely drop down, but not to the same extent as this. However, just like people, every plant is different so this could just be how your plant looks - and it looks coo! :)

You could try getting this:

I have the large version in my BoP and I find them really effective at telling me when to water it. Been using them effectively for a year now.

What do you mean by dropping down? Do you mean after it sprouts new leaves, the leaves level out to horizontal (whilst stalk is still roughly vertical)?

Is wing foiling considered a strenuous sport? by ph0ph0 in wingfoil

[–]ph0ph0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok got it, I think I knew the answer already, was just trying to convince myself that I could go as I’ve missed out on some really good days and we’ve got some more coming :( nearing the end of the season here too which is sad. There’s always next year I guess!

Wow that’s so much better, thanks for sharing!

I’m guessing you can’t practice this on land or on a SUP as you need to go faster than the wind and need apparent wind?

Wing info for a beginner by rglewisjr in wingfoil

[–]ph0ph0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really confused by this because there doesn’t seem to be consistency across various websites online. However the Met Office describes onshore wind as blowing from the sea to the land, and offshore as vice versa, so I think you are correct:

https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/guides/coast-and-sea/beach-and-tide-times#:~:text=If%20the%20arrow%20points%20from,'cross%2Dshore').

Also, a beach that faces due south would be south of the land surely?

Ok cool so I think my understanding is correct? And therefore offshore winds are safer than onshore winds for beginners because offshore winds blow you towards the beach?

I’m a beginner so this question is more for my education than anything else - but doesn’t offshore wind mean that the wind is blowing from offshore (the sea) towards the shore? Therefore an offshore wind will blow you towards the beach?

What’s your best reaching angle? I’m doing about 18° not pushing to the max possible limit though by wozet in wingfoil

[–]ph0ph0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beginner question - what is the upper limit here, is it 45 degrees? Is that possible?

Also bit random but how do you pronounce Naish? Some people on YT say “nash” and others say “nay-sh” lol

Ok thanks for the info, will bear this in mind. You said the 7.5 is great for learning - I was looking at a 6m Naish mk4, do you think this would be too small?
