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

Cute!

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…

Honestly because of his leadership, my future votes will be going towards NDP or Greens. The Liberals have lost my vote forever. I voted Liberal to avoid a Conservative government and I feel like I ended up with one anyways.

I don’t expect it to last long on Clevatess, but I think he’s probably an important part of the plot. I don’t think he’ll live forever but I would’ve been surprised if they immediately killed him off.
