The first one was 2 weeks outside of warranty, the second one we’re currently waiting on the manufacturer and their mechanic. It’s a whole thing but it’s looking like it might be a refund at this point since it’s taking so long for them to even come look at it.
The first one wasn’t repaired because the part was back-ordered and by the time we repaired it it wouldve ended up costing the same as a new one.
Anything that’s sold in Canada? I’m in the market for a new washer after my last two died on the 2 year mark.
This one hasn’t flowered yet but the flowers are super cool looking! it did put out a peduncle but it’s right on top of the soil so the buds blasted off before blooming
Lol I’m glad you found them because I did not know what they were called. I picked em up from my local nursery, they’re pretty sturdy and were under $10 CAD
I think this is a pretty neat idea! For some smaller pots I use a tray filled with water (linked below) for them to butt-chug and then I move them to an empty tray to dry before putting them back in their place
4" plant pot to help with scale.
I’ve seen others use their bathtub but I like the idea of not risking dirt/perlite/etc. clogging up the drains. Depending on your drain you could use a metal debris catcher thingy like I have in my laundry room sink (I found mine at the dollar store):
I wish our government would regulate this shit. Airlines shouldn’t be able to nickle and dime like this. Prices just keep going up 😒
It’s super pretty! I love the sunstress colour 😍
Not much point in running from it, you’re already getting wet if you’re caught out in it 🤷♀️. I’ll run if I hear thunder though, don’t want to get electrocuted.
The lithops? I like them! I have a couple that are mostly green but they’re pretty low maintenance
Yay! They’re so pretty! A frydek is definitely on my list
Also you guys need to start posting more! It’s starting to feel like a one woman show around here lol
I find if I don’t make my soil super chunky then it stays damp for way too long. My house is pretty humid usually so I mostly go with 1:1:1 orchid bark, perlite, and potting soil. So far all of my plants have grown well in it, though I did have a lemon button fern that loved straight soil and staying damp. I miss that little guy… Stupid thrips.
I’m more of a tea drinker, but my spouse really likes the decaf beans from Saltwinds Coffee Company. They’re a Canadian east coast company. https://www.saltwindscoffee.com/product/decaf-ocean-fresh/?v=34f67f9dfb46
That and Kirkland decaf are his go-to’s. Like OP, he also can’t have a lot of caffeine anymore.
Side eye my growing plant collection … yes.
You could try a cat friendly plant and hang it out of reach? Not sure how acrobatic your cat is though, I’m lucky mine leaves the plants alone. Though I think I’ve overwhelmed her with the quantity and so she’s not very interested lol
Lol the wall is actually more dusky in person (like a muddy rust), my camera makes it look bright orange so I look like a crazy person.
Care regime lately has just been to water when dry (so like every 7-14 days) and fertilize rarely (mostly because I forget). It actually doesn’t live where it is in the picture but hangs out right in my east facing sliding door so it gets lots of morning light. I keep it and most of my plants in a chunky mix (1 part orchid bark, 1 part perlite, 1 part potting soil), otherwise they take forever to dry out with the humidity here.
It probably would be a lot bigger if I hadn’t swapped everything to semi hydro last year to try and be rid of fungus gnats (a strategy which actually did work, but I’m a lazy plant parent so they didn’t really thrive in that). It lived in water for quite a while re-rooting so it was just a sad and dying leaf a couple months ago. It’s made a huge comeback this summer, with another leaf on the way.
NDP doesn’t really campaign in my province, Liberals had the better shot here.
I’m going to be in the market for an electric car in the next year or two… I was considering an Ioniq as an option but now I’m not so sure. I’m having trouble finding any EV that doesn’t have a massive monitor in place of buttons, doesn’t have some kind of subscription, and isn’t a privacy nightmare. Not sure what I’ll do when the time comes to actually buy…
I have one that I keep all the cards I got at my wedding in. Mind you it looks more like a decorative box that’s book shaped than an actual fake book.
