I don’t want to tell you how to live your life, but that sounds like a bit much…

Right?? I actually had one before that was getting pretty large but had to toss it because it became infested with thrips, so I thought I’d try again 🤞

At least 5, I think more. She was what? 9? 10? and dude is 15 (at least) kissing her? I honestly think I’ll drop it, super ick. Sure she’s reincarnated and not mentally 9 but the guys don’t know that 🤢

Not sure if anyone else here is watching this but… Anyone else find it incredibly creepy how much these teenage boys are smitten with a literal child? I really want to like this show but damn is it giving me predator vibes. Maybe I’ve been watching too much Law and Order SVU lately…

My thinking would be why risk not getting checked out? Unfortunately worst case scenario happened this time :(

I found a pic of a succulent or something that hadn’t been opened yet on the internet. The taller plants are longer packages to accomodate the vines and folliage but this is essentially it (looks like this is actually one of theirs):

I can try! So they were wrapped in brown packing paper, kind of coned around it. the inner paper was reinforced under the pot with tape, all soil and sphagnum moss arrives dry by the time it gets to my place (unsure if they water before packing it or not). Most succulents arrive with tissue (like kleenex) on the soil and tucked under the leaves and then taped down on the corners of the pot. The pinguiculas had tissue completely over top to prevent damage to their delicate leaves. the brown wrapping paper is folded down so it all sits kind of scooped (kinda like how bouquets are wrapped some times). Some of the more fragile hoyas and succulents also had that like plastic stuffing that you’d find in a pillow or stuffed animal over top of it for padding. All the larger hoyas came with the wire trellises which, aside from being for the plant, helps prevent squishing.

All the packages were tucked in basically feet to head with each other. and then the empty space had more brown wrapping paper loosely in it to prevent any movement.

Crystal Star Nursery, it’s my 4th time ordering from them. It’s hard to find hoyas where I’m at and even just in Canada in general and they’ve got a really great selection. I highly recommend them if you’re in Canada.

The plants are always healthy and mostly pest free aside from the occasional fungus gnat. The gnats aren’t a big issue for me anymore though since almost anything that isn’t a succulent or cactus gets potted into semi-hydro.

**I should mention that I bring up pests because the nursery that’s near me is notorious for all kinds of bugs so it’s nice when I find one with healthy plants haha.

Not too big honestly, maybe 9"x18"? I recently lost a bunch of plants to thrips so I had the space and some birthday cash :P

Whoops! How silly of me, here you go:

Sign me up for a house-bot. I’m so tired by the time I get home from work that I’d love a robot to do all the chores for me.

Freaking wild! I knew it was coming but damn did it suck to see some of my favourites go up in flames(?). I’m glad Oba was able to reduce the impact and that he lived at least.

They’re so pretty! The Cuprea is a stunner 😍

I enjoyed it but I wish I didn’t pay full price. The game is very linear and I think I beat it in about 6 hours. Also not a lot of replay value in my opinion.

Well at least she didn’t get screwed out of her money. The guy sucks but it seems she came out of the engagement relatively unscathed.

Fuck yeah! I haven’t seen the finale yet but this has been a super enjoyable anime. Very glad we’ll be getting more of it!

The waffle was biscoff cookies dipped in something brown (i had my volume off), and then put into a waffle maker. The popcorn, milk, sugar mess looks like she turned it into ice cream and then poured peanut butter on top of it all. Looks super gross lol.

I will!

Not hard at all! I got some of those seedling trays that come with the lid that allows for easy bottom watering and basically just watered once every week or two. Kept it under a grow light for 12 hours a day and had a heating pad under it set to 22° C (it was in the basement so I didn’t want it getting too cold). Now I just water it once a week and let it do its thing! It seems to really like the bonsai mix.

This will be my struggle in a year or two. I’m planning on moving a couple provinces over so I’ll need to come up with a way to move them. Probably end up taking a bunch of cuttings instead.
