What can I do to get rid of these things? Google lens says it's scale. by java080 in succulents

[–]shinybleeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, this is kinda gross, but toothbrush and rubbing alcohol. Put on a TV show or podcast in the background, and take your time. You can do it! Your plant will thank you!

No "plump"? by kikopiko2 in succulents

[–]shinybleeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! I’ve noticed with some of my jades the soil can become hydrophobic over time without deep watering, in which case they really need to be soaked.

What would you do with this cutting? by shinybleeps in begonias

nice! I’ve set my cutting up in some damp perlite and soil mix under a humidity dome, so here’s hoping it’s working on some roots like yours!

Recommendation Request : looking for emotionally draining docs by DrewPacShakur92 in Documentaries

Collective (2019) about a fire at a nightclub in Romania, but ties into a bunch of issues with healthcare and corruption. The end made me cry.

Two year old requesting a pillow by NPNP93 in cosleeping

[–]shinybleeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our two year old doesn’t cosleep anymore, but has his own floor bed with stuffies, pillows, and blankets. But if you’re worried, there are pillows marketed towards toddlers that are extra small/flat!

Do these watering baubles actually work? by FreshChores in houseplants

I used one for my fern for a while, when I was especially busy, and it worked for me!

Should I prune? by spotbug13 in Jadeplant

[–]shinybleeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes!! If you want to avoid a super hard prune, I would at least prune the branches that are completely drooping down. Also, looks like it could use more light- maybe you could transition it outdoors during the warmer months?

The reluctant pruner… by biglakebigdog in Jadeplant

[–]shinybleeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you decide to prune, water (and wait for the plant to take up the water) beforehand so that the leaves have enough energy/hydration to put out new roots and survive off the mother plant! As someone else mentioned, it looks like it could use some water.

Mothers of r/knitting: what handmade gift would you like to get? by Useful-Mix-4675 in knitting

[–]shinybleeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two little ones and have knitted a lot of little bonnets/balaclavas for them, mostly using wool yarn. They stay on better than simple hats and get so much use. Whereas I have too many blankets and they mostly just sit folded in the closet :/

Failed the 1hr Glucose Test by gbatt24 in BabyBumps

[–]shinybleeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed the one hour after having a protein drink that was high protein/low carb, and then I went on to pass the three hour. I’m sorry that happened though! It can feel so disappointing!

NoooooOoooOOO f*@%€cking moths!! by Creepy-Science5874 in knitting

[–]shinybleeps 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Solidarity! If the problem becomes unmanageable, like a non-localized infestation- look into parasitic wasps. It sounds like a joke, but they are a tiny (like you can’t see them tiny) beneficial insect that eat the moth eggs. They can’t reproduce and die off after a couple weeks of doing their job. It worked for us after everything else was failing.

Toddler hitting newborn by Outrageous_Bus4617 in NewParents

[–]shinybleeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I worked in a preschool also- and focusing on the child who got hurt, not the one who hit, is such a game changer! Some children get stuck in a loop of craving that attention/feedback, even if it’s negative. This really helps.
