This is a great way to frame this. To put this thinking into an example, most people who are abusive toward others have themselves been victims of abuse earlier in their lives and are reenacting patterns they were taught. I think those people deserve compassion and understanding
I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I’m not aware of any mechanism by which rhododendron roots could transmit toxins to other plants through the soil. You’d have to eat a good amount of rhododendron before it’d seriously affect you anyway
Shade is everything. Tree shade is the best, because trees transpire, cooling the ground beneath them even more than shade would alone.
Inside your house (depending on what kind of home you have), you can also take a look at your overall energy efficiency, including windows, doors, insulation in walls and attic, and weather stripping to seal all gaps
Well I’ve got several large drosera and a ruby red flytrap in the same pot that have all been doing well for a long time. It’s a high quality pot that’s wide and shallow
Why no terra cotta? It’s pretty high quality and isn’t leaching minerals or anything.
I have mine in a terra cotta pot in a plastic tray and it’s doing great. Are you only watering with distilled water? Tap water will kill it over time. It also needs to stay wet at all times, and it needs lots of sun
I don’t think a moss pole would work for these, but you can cut it right below the node and throw those roots right into the same pot to grow a fuller plant. You only need one node and one leaf to make a successful cutting. You can grow cuttings in water, too
Atheist. Religion is an explanation of the world that’s made the fuck up. I think people make shit up to explain reality because accepting uncertainty is difficult, but that doesn’t make it ok. The world around you exists, just like it is. There is no special place you get to go if you follow the right set of rules .
There are very few plants that would see any measurable benefit from the dissolved minerals in tap water. Dissolved minerals are actually to some plants’ detriment, because they tend to make water more alkaline. House plants are often tropical plants that evolved in humid, rainy areas with acidic soils. Watering with rainwater or distilled water and using an appropriate fertilizer are almost always going to yield a better outcome.
Temperature-wise, room temperature is best. Plants don’t expect or like hot water
Sometimes it can be better to just clip off a broken pitcher. It’ll keep growing new ones assuming you give it the right growing conditions
If you receive a message one day that shows it was sent on a prior day, I think the assumption is it was spoofed
It keeps coming from new profiles on new instances
Isaiah Thomas is 5’9". He’s been an NBA All-Star twice.
Muggsy Bogues is 5’3". He had 146 career double-doubles and got to be one of the 5 players in Space Jam.
There are more
Because in Colorado, they can’t sell the cheap eggs laid by chickens packed in cages, so the demand for the expensive eggs has gone up significantly, driving up prices. Also the cost of living in many parts of Colorado is higher than North Carolina.
On the original thread this picture came from, people were talking about a new law that went into effect in January in Colorado only allowing certified cage-free eggs to be sold statewide. It seems that’s behind the price on this single brand of eggs. Would be interested to see how all the other egg prices on that shelf compare
Your comment history reads like a broken record
Personally, I’m jerking off to Alfred Hitchcock
Local Fox affiliates are not Fox News
I don’t know what exactly “came out” here, there’s no evidence whatsoever presented in this article
The Austin Chronicle has reliably good content. Lots of local stuff, but also commentary on the state of Texas, and a ton of arts pieces
