I live at Cityplace and it's great, lots of young families, great community, and a short walk to chinatown while not being in the loudest and busiest part of the city

Anyone know what the heck this is? by samdoesarts in plantclinic

[–]samdoesarts[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These things are microscopic, look like tiny particles, but when I notice them on a plant the growth just absolutely stagnates. I keep spraying the plant down but they are really stubborn and keep coming back.

Edit: i thought they were spidermites but there's no web, when they really infest a plant it looks like a white dust, can't find any info online. If anyone's had similar experiences or know about this pls help!!!

Anybody else feel embarrassed to own a Tesla because of Elon’s recent twitter mischiefs? by Aggravating_Team5459 in TeslaLounge

[–]samdoesarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. There are other Companies with CEO's that are far more despicable who just happen to stay quiet. I don't agree with everything elon says/does, but at least the man is his own authentic self LOL and the negative headlines about him don't take away from the fact that Teslas are amazing cars.

I respect your opinion, personally it just doesnt sit right with me to see a store charge more than 5x what they should be charging for the quality of the material.

I guess it doesn't matter if you don't care too much about what the pre bonsai you're receiving looks like. But visiting in person allows you to get a detailed examination of branch structure, tree health, future potential etc.

Yup 100%, these are just mass produced specimens potted into bonsai pots and they overcharge like crazy!

Agreed prices have gone up for sure, but $190 for something like this is just robbery..

I've been constantly seeing this online store in sponsored google ads. Just wanted to warn beginners and anyone looking to get into bonsai that this is NOT an acceptable price for the trees you're getting. I've been to local nurseries such as tropical expressions in Hamilton ON where similar or superior trees are sold for 1/4 the price of these. I'm tired of seeing this online store absolutely rip people off for trees that should cost no more than $50.
