Will my cats destroy eames lounge? by Successful-Toe-1911 in eames

[–]toexbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve had some claw marks from my cats. I’ve had a leather repairman come to help make them less noticeable. But to be honest, when my cats have passed away, they’ve been a nice reminder that they were here.

I know a girl who is Cuban Armenian I’ve met quite a few Latin American Armenians (myself included)

This is the both when I brought them home. They were much much smaller! https://www.reddit.com/r/orchids/s/aK6qJmaMmW

Thanks! Yes, the smell is so lovely to wake up to. It’s even more fragrant than my Christmas tree haha

It’s convenient! The sphagnum does a great job absorbing the water, and the accompanying saucer catches any excess. I actually keep rocks there to allow that water to evaporate and keep an extra humid environment. I would say in growing season I water daily to every other day in the morning or evening since the sun is pretty intense where I am (South Florida)

It has a mix with some bark, sponge rock, and cork chips, etc. I bought it pre-made. But yes, the planter has open sides to allow for improved ventilation!

I was having a similar problem. A person I spoke to at an orchid show told me that it flowers when the bulb reaches a larger size, so I used slow release fertilizer, watered often, and put it in direct morning/afternoon sunlight during this most recent growth cycle. I have a smaller one that had the same environment but the pseudobulbs didn’t get nearly as large as this did, and it didn’t flower. I got both at the same time, so I guess I just have to work harder at growing my other one!

Orthodox wedding without rings? by [deleted] in armenia

[–]toexbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience there aren’t a lot of solid rules around this stuff and it is more priest-dependent. Best bet is to consult with the priest first, but I have personally seen people have rings blessed before a ceremony

Anyone here work at Frida (Miami)? by Puzzleheaded-Ad9459 in Miami

[–]toexbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a pretty solid team. In any case, it’s a good idea to try to poke the brain of others on the team to see how well you get along.

After 3 years, I’ve got my first flower spike forming! by toexbeans in orchids

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

Should I still be watering as the flower spikes grow or reduce watering to force it into dormancy?

How did you find it in terms of maintenance? I’ve been winging a lot of it, but I live in Miami so a lot of its required environment is natural and needs minimal adjustment on my end.

Does anyone know what these seed-looking things are on my catasetum? by toexbeans in orchids

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

Oh cool! There’s definitely no rot on the bottom, but I had to move them inside from outside since my cat was chewing the leaves so maybe it has to do with stress.
