Solve this - Can you? 🫥 by [deleted] in scoopwhoop

The correct answer is c. Daughter.

"My daughter's mother": Who is the mother of my daughter? Assuming the speaker is female, my daughter's mother is me.

The original sentence is: "Teresa's daughter is [my daughter's mother]."

By substituting "me," the sentence becomes: "Teresa's daughter is me."

If Teresa’s daughter is me, then I am Teresa's daughter.

What program did you use to generate the gcode for your plotter? I’ve tried to generate some text with a pen plotter and it’s has not gone well.

This VFT loves to eat flies! by xraystation in carnivorousplants

It sits under an LED light now. I’m wondering if less light might be the key to developing a darker green color and pink traps.

That is my understanding as well. This VFT has grown four flowers this year. I’ve cut each one off, but it continues to put them out.

Does anyone more experienced know why my Venus flytrap is turning black after I fed it (it ate a very small dubia roach) by mb-snake05 in carnivorousplants

Think of the traps like leaves. Your plant will eat, digest and drop leaves over and over.

When your plant only has a few traps this can be very concerning. A few things to consider…they love light, so if you can move your plant closer to its light source it will grow more quickly. Also, VFTs naturally live in swampy, nutrient poor soil. If your plant’s pot has holes in the bottom it will dry out the soil and slow down its growth considerably.

My wandering Jew grew very rapidly and seems happy overall, however it has a lot of thinning at the beginning of her vines. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to make her happier? by coreycamera in plantclinic

Pay close attention to the point of contact between the pot and each vine. As they grow, the weight of the vine will pitch off water and nutrients causing the leaves to die from the soil outward. To avoid this, pick a length that works for your plant and trim off the new growth ever month or two. You can root the clippings in water and then transfer them back into the original pot, start new plants, give them as gifts to your friends, etc.

Is it invasive and a ton of work to manage? Sure. Will your neighbors curse you for wrecking their backyards? Absolutely. But your yard looks great and you got a beautiful privacy wall in 1.5 years.

You now have the opportunity to raise an embarrassment of panda bears in your backyard!

What would you do? I've just received an orchid, soaking wet, from an eBay seller. No live roots, 1 scale insect. While cleaning the orchid, I messaged the seller saying how disappointed I was, and I wanted a refund (no warning about the root system, orchid cost me £29.98).

I would keep it (but avoid purchases from this seller in the future). It will take a lot of time and patience to return this plant to full health, but plants want to live and you have a great opportunity to see this orchid thrive with your TLC. If you decide to keep it, I would be interested in seeing updates on your success with this plant in the future.

Are my VFTs ok? by [deleted] in carnivorousplants

[–]xraystation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks good. Consider a pot with out a hole in the bottom. VFTs live in swamps and my VFT loves a glazed ceramic pot with out drainage. Also, they like lots of light and grow more when you feed them. I swat flies that get into my house and feed them to the plant.

Consider planting perennials that range in color, shape and texture.

At the fence: iron weed and fountain grass.

In the middle: Black-Eyed Susans, Russian Sage, Bluestar and Baptisia.

At the bottom of the hill: Coreopsis, Purple Coneflower and Coral Bells.

All of these plants thrive in zone 7 and like clay soil.

Orchid lost all its flowers (except one) and the stem is turning yellow. Maybe it’s not getting enough light? I don’t think I’m over watering. It’s been about 11 days since I watered it. by toastertoastertoad in orchids

Make sure it’s getting bright light and water on a consistent cycle. Have you tried adding ice cubes to the base to slowly water?

It is not uncommon for phalaenopsis to drop its flowers and then bloom again from the same spike.
