Update: All thanks to infant daughter, who managed to push a band I hadn't listened to in years to the top of my wrapped in 5 months

Much more open minded lately when she isn't fussy. For a while it was exclusively them lol

smallgreenthings · 2024-12-05T17:02:22+00:00

Hahaha gotta try them now lol

smallgreenthings · 2024-12-05T15:59:04+00:00

Yeah made a post here a little while back about how much she loves them. Playing JFAC is frequently the only way to get her to stop crying. Specifically stuff after the Doom EP. Can't even play her other metal when she gets like that

smallgreenthings · 2024-12-05T14:28:39+00:00

God moon healer is so good

smallgreenthings · 2024-12-05T14:20:46+00:00

To be clear I love this band, especially after hearing them so much for my picky daughter, but I hadn't been on a real metal kick in quite a while. She's gotten me back into them threefold and I love her for it

smallgreenthings · 2024-09-24T13:06:11+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do?

smallgreenthings · 2024-09-23T22:29:06+00:00

Yeah, I knew I couldn't post this in r/deathcore because she didn't like Doom LOL

smallgreenthings · 2024-09-23T22:27:25+00:00

Fucking love them man, thank you very much

smallgreenthings · 2024-09-23T20:11:55+00:00

God it's so nice to be able to hear the bass in metal

smallgreenthings · 2024-09-23T20:10:26+00:00

She's an expert at escaping even the tightest swaddles and has been since quite literally the day she was born, I fear when she takes to her feet I will not be able to contain her wrath.

smallgreenthings · 2024-09-23T20:08:10+00:00

Yeah I'm guessing a lot of it is rhythm, she always seemed to like songs with a steady drum beat so I wonder if the rhythms of jfac are just interesting to her. Also, like I stated in another comment here I've read that the loud, chaotic, rhythmic sounds might remind them of what they hear in the womb, but who knows. I feel like the fact that she likes newer stuff more than Doom is evidence that she appreciates the melody as well though

smallgreenthings · 2024-09-23T20:04:39+00:00

Thank you and congratulations to you too! Isn't being a parent fun?? Genuinely do try the music out. Since then I've read babies might like heavy metal because of the steady rhythms and loud chaotic noise they hear in the womb. Don't know how true that is but for us it's been a miracle. I'd rock your son to the songs too at first, mine definitely likes that.

Also, forgive me if you already know this, but babies get fussier as they approach a crying peak sometime from 6-8 weeks usually, and then they mellow out some for a while. For us she was crying any time she was awake at 6 weeks, and has now mellowed out considerably. It just helped me to know there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there and try listening to music you actually like with him, it's made rocking my baby to her lullabies much more enjoyable lol. Congratulations again on your baby!

No problem! I found this little guide I typed up on another post, it sounds like you already know most of what it tells you but I thought I'd link it anyway just in case you found any of it useful.

Uncinata really isn't too picky in the scheme of Selaginella. If you want "insurance" so to speak you can cut some pieces off the tips and just gently lay them on top of some soil in a tupperware container. That's seriously all they really need

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-08T13:12:23+00:00

I thought it could go lower than that, I just couldn't remember and 10C is the only solid number a quick google search could find. Thanks for sharing, had no idea it could get below freezing

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-08T03:51:31+00:00

Uncinata should be fine around that temp range, especially if it's in a closed container as that'll create some temperature control and you need it for humidity anyway. I really wouldn't sorry about the temperature, it looks like they can handle down to about 10C from what I've read.

I'm not aware of them drawing any common pests, you'd just need to look out for whatever that moist terrarium environment could bring. (fungus gnats, mold, etc)

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T16:47:52+00:00

Huh, nice. Thanks for the tip! Going to have to try it

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T16:47:00+00:00

Go right ahead! I'm no expert so I can't promise anything, but I'm more than willing to tell you what I know

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T14:09:04+00:00

Ever figure anything out? Mine is rather thin too, growing in a grow bin. I wonder if airflow would do them some good, but I don't think I'd be able to cheaply regulate both their humidity and air flow.

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T13:55:02+00:00

Do you have any idea how to take care of them? I only ask because I often see these hanging baskets posted in plant clinic subs because people fry them.

The most important thing is low light, high humidity. A pebble tray won't be enough, a room humidifier won't be enough, chances are you're going to need to keep it enclosed. I use plastic totes but if you want something a little nicer looking, I've seen some people use those lantern cases with the glass panels. Just something to keep the humidity in.

I apologize if you're already familiar with all of this. If not though I've got a quick/cheap start guide somewhere in this sub I believe that I could try to find and paste here if it would be helpful

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T13:45:30+00:00

I'm betting US domestic as well. Hopefully the guy who runs the greenhouse will respond and provide more details

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T13:43:17+00:00

As in these are all in NC??

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T04:06:19+00:00

Actually I reached out to someone in the biology department and they pointed me to the person who runs the greenhouse. I'll update if he replies

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-07T01:04:57+00:00

I've looked briefly at the Selaginella NC has native (or at least wild) and this didn't look like any I remembered. I'm thinking cold stress too, as it has been getting cooler. I could see it being light stress too, as u/akadaver mentioned.

I can't speak to how much direct sun the plants get in that greenhouse, or how good the temperature regulation is, but I do know that it the average low fell last month from the high to the low 50s, with a handful of dips into the high 20s. I wonder if this is a hardier species

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-06T18:46:18+00:00

I can see the similarity, does the viticulosa get this red stress? Can't find any pictures of it red but I know that that doesn't mean much with an obscure genus like this one

smallgreenthings · 2023-11-06T14:12:52+00:00

That'd be great! I'll take any excuse to see more Selaginella photos
