I'd bet it's missing sunlight, those things thrive in direct sun.

Second guess is that it's overwatered... does that pot drain well the water? it should definitely not be sitting in water and I would not water it very often.

It can be a mix of both things

where I live there are shops for laptop, console and phone repairs. I'd keep it simple and go to one of those

I would have translated better without the "a" to make it wrong and same level of absurd.

  • Do you have cat?
  • No
  • Now you do
  • And that's how I got cat

"coger" means fuck in latin america, but not in Spain where we use it as "grab/pick" normally. It causes fun reactions to latinamericans visiting or living in Spain for sure as it's used a lot.

"correr" is also "run" in Spanish, we share a lot of words with Portuguese . πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή

I have a folder of very random pictures on my phone just to add as WhatsApp group images when I'm invited to one πŸ‘Œ

Radom tapas is a thing in small places in Spain. Definitely my favourite, as usually is what they have just freshly made from the kitchen and not thinking is a wonderful perk. I'd go to a "random tea" place definitely

Thanks for the link. Not a bad price considering it's lego+nintendo, may do the trick as xmas present for my partner.

Although now that I dived into the lego website I'm in love with the retro NES tv with mario, which is way too expensive πŸ˜…πŸ˜­

sounds like illegal indeed, you could've sue them to the work administration or whatever there is in the UK (I've worked there, but never had any issues on the working department... there's so little unemployment that if you're unhappy just go somewhere else πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ)

I'd say movies and tv series are the blame to the youth wish to live there.. who hasn't dreamed to be in the NY of "Friends" per example?

Then you start thinking that they had huge apartments and were almost never working and that doesn't match with reality 🀣

When I was younger, I also though I'd be cool to work in America, but once you learn a bit about their conditions, it's a big nope. Much better lifestyle in small cities with an average salary in EU and the 23 days vacation + 13 - 14 bank holidays. Mental health checks out. πŸ˜„

About the Prod on calls, even if you "volunteer", depending on the country and kind of job, they have to paid those "on call" hours even if there's no calls at the end, and if there's work required, the pay is higher.

I'm like you, I wouldn't exchange my free time no matter what. 🀘

Gifted by my aunt in Spain, they both came in water. The only thing I know is the one in the left is some sort of Agave and the one in the right seems like a rootless cutting. Thanks in advance for your time

I had this series of posts in that other platform we cannot name anymore and thought to do an update on here 😁

For those who don't know, this is a Tevaplanter, a vessel I got from a quickstarter that allows you to do some kind of hydroponic gardening. Obviously it's not suited for all types of plants, and would work best with certain epiphyte species (orchids, hoyas, ferns, etc).

There are fake tevaplanters out there (I know bc I bought one), but at least in my experience they were leaking a lot and not fitted for the purpose (it ended up in the bin).

The box came with chia seeds as starter, but I did not like them a lot as many developed and started growing mold πŸ˜…

After the first trial with chia seeds (30 days aprox) I tied some pre-rooted hoya khroniana cuttings and a hoya nummularoides still tied to the mother plant. The nummularoides died and I replaced it recently with a keiki from a phalaenopsis mini orchid. 🌺

It has been there for couple of weeks and already starting to hug the vessel so I'm quite happy. Also the hoya cuttings have a lot of roots after three months.

I hope you liked this, I may post updates on the future 🌿

Picture when I first got it. Previous owner did some wiring work but it looked big and a bit odd to my liking.

Big cut to get it into smaller size (and I got lots of cuttings out of it).

Wiring and defoliating to give some movement to the branches. When defoliating a ficus it's better done with scissors so the new grown points are left undamaged.

After one month and seeing the first leaves growth, I repotted to akadama and kiryu 70/30 in the same pot. I rotated a bit the plant when doing so. Ficus are very resilient so it actually started growing better with better soil.

This is 2months after picture, I'm quite happy in how it looks already 😊

I won't work on this ficus more for the time being, just leave it grow strong and develop good radial roots and finer branching.

I'll write another progress post in the future about the "brother" ficus of this one which looked more like a stick and will take more time to look bonsai-y 🀭

Some of my creations to kick up this space. Couple of small bowls with koi carps and ninja frogs (I wanted to paint turtles but I was painting another mug with frogs at the same time, my dyslexia kicked in and ended up liking the idea πŸ˜…)

They are all made with slabs and hand painted (no transfer or anything)

Just wanted to contribute showing my flowering Hoya Bella.

I had it for three years and every year gives more flowers at a time and flowering period is longer. It has been with flowers at least the last six months and now its opening eight at the same time ❀️ Def my favourite plant 🫢

Another hoya bella pic

And as a bonus, also share my hoya kerrii picture. This one was not a single heart when I bought it, but I'd say it has doubled the size in a year 🌿

Bonus big hoya kerrii picture
