@@mtthyw We successfully grew our persimmon trees past 30 cm, but unfortunately, I underestimated the heavy weather. The strong winds caused the pots to fall, breaking the still-thin stems into pieces. I will try again this year, and next time, I will ensure they are completely sheltered. However, the germination process was a success, and the young trees showed no signs of pests or nutritional problems. I'm sure yours will succeed too, but make sure to provide them with some protection until they're sturdy enough.
I like growing fruit trees from seed. It makes for stronger trees. And because it can be a couple of years for fruit, it helps time seem to pass slower.
Baking apple pies is such a grounding experience, especially during anxious moments. The simple act of mixing ingredients and rolling out the dough can be incredibly soothing. It’s like a form of meditation-focusing on each step helps quiet the mind, and the warm smell fills the kitchen with comfort. Plus, sharing a slice with friends or family adds a special joy to the process. It’s a beautiful way to find peace and connect with others. 🍏🥧
Omg 😍 😍 😍 you're beautiful.... oh and interesting video, I have a few ferns outside and I'm curious if they will grow in an aquarium but I also may do one in lecca now too and see if they grow strong like my monstera
@@richapocalypsesg1949 hi! I’m super glad you like the video! Thank you so much ☺️ Of course you should try, I find different types of ferns need more or less “adjusting”. Actually I have a fern growing on a wood at my aquarium right this moment and let me tell you, it’s doing better than the potted one (don’t know if that’s something to be proud or ashamed of) 🤣 Anyway, everything is trial and error just don’t try it to a rare species yet since I can’t back you up right now
@@greggerz13 Depends on the environment, if the pots are kept in a damp environment then yes this indeed could be mold… moss can also appear in this case. If not, most of the times it is a build up of salts and minerals. While the water evaporates some minerals from the soil, the pot itself or the water (if it is hard water) tend to just sit on the surface like this. So in this video by using chalk I’m creating what hard water would, only at the outside of the pot, the amount of this won’t case any harm to the plants.
Thank you so much!!! They are three types of cryptocorynes, a valisneria nana, anubias, bucephalandra and moss for the aquatics. Above the water level I’ve put pilea depressa and callisia repens pink. Hope it helps and I didn’t forget any 😅
I am currently setting up my first tank. After I add conditioner, it’s smell stays for quite a while. Is it normal? Did I add too much? If I want to do a water change, do i condition water in a bucket and wait for smell to go before using it?
@@RScale hello, which brand are you using? Do you have any movement in the water to “stir” it? Some smell is normal especially in the bottle of the conditioner. Each brand should have a specific dosage mentioned. For example in seachem prime it is 5ml conditioner to 200l of water. You should always shake a little the bottle before adding it to the water. As for the dosage up to 5 times the normal ratio is ok although you shouldn’t do it without a purpose (only emergency). If you’ve put more just remove some water and add more freshwater without any conditioner. During a water change it is best to add it to the water before adding it to the aquarium this way the chemicals have some time to work. But! Adding it to the aquarium itself is not that harmful as long as you have movement. Again the smell if it is not way too strong shouldn’t be something to worry about, it is cause by the sulfur. If you need any more explanation please feel free to ask me.
@@nayaprokopiou Tysm. I used neoC. I added a little more because I wanted to take into account that canister filter has water in it too. Maybe that’s the issue with lasting smell (it was over 24H or so). Also… uhh.. I just realized I forgot to shake. Do i have to do it all over now?
@@RScale hmmm neoC has the same dosage with prime and your thought about the canister is not wrong, in fact when we add directly to the aquarium we use a dosage for the whole tank and not only for the new water. The only problem I guess was that you didn’t shake. 24 hours and a strong smell is weird indeed. If you don’t have any fish inside I wouldn’t mind it, change it little by little with the normal water changes. If you worry about fish, I would just do a small water change. You could also condition the new water too (but after a lot of years in the hobby I have to say that the more you worry the more problems arise) So if your local water doesn’t have a lot of chlorine in the tap water, you could add some as it is
@@nayaprokopiouTysm so much! I don’t have any fish rn. I only just started cycling. Guess imma just wait a little and see what water testers tell. Your replies really did make stuff clear
Here is a super short care guide for Monstera minima: ☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight. 💧 Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Don't let it sit in water. 🌱 Soil: Well-draining, chunky potting mix. Can add perlite or orchid bark. 🌡️Temperature: 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid drafts. 🪟Humidity: Aim for 40-60% humidity. 💊 Fertilizer: Fertilise with a good quality balanced fertilizer. ✂️ Pruning: Prune to control size and shape as needed. Cut just above a leaf node. 🧬 Propagation: Take stem cuttings and root in water or soil. The key is to provide bright, indirect light, proper watering, and well-draining soil. Monitor for pests and give it a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. With the right care, this is a plant that will surely thrive!!! 🌿
It is always fun to buy more fish for your aquarium but don’t take your new pets life lightly here are some tips to help you: 1. Make sure that the aquarium has an established cycle and don't overcrowd the tank. 2. Acclimate new fish slowly by floating the sealed bag in the tank for 30 mins, gradually adding tank water to the bag. 3. Test water parameters and match them to the new fish's requirements to avoid shock. 4. Provide hiding spots with plants/decor to help the new fish feel secure. 5. Monitor closely for signs of stress, disease, or aggression, and be ready to take action. Proper acclimation and environmental matching are key to a smooth transition when adding new fish to your aquarium. 🐠
Hello, i found you after much searching. You seem so sweet and loving towards all your plants. Thank you for that. I have what I now know is an asparagus fern. It was given to me a year ago. I have managed to keep it alive lol but I recently noticed some type of white fungus on the top of the soil so I thought it best to remove it completely from the soil, wash all the dirt off the root system and as of this morning have it sitting in a 5 gallon drum with some water with Miracle-Grow in it. Here's my problem, I have three very ornery cats and I cannot seem to keep them out of the soil of my plants. No matter how high I place my plants they managed to climb up and lay inside of the flower pot which is killing all of my plants. So I have decided to instead go for hydroponics. This is asparagus plant that I have is actually two plants. When I'm removed it from the soil I realize that. It looks healthy to be honest. I'm not sure how given that I really did not know how to care for it properly. This morning I am going to go out and search for some clear glass containers and some of those beads that I seen you use. I honestly just need help. If I knew someone else that was as crazy about plants I would probably just pass the fern along because of my cats. But instead I'm going to do my best to keep this beauty alive. I would say it is 4 ft long. It does not stand up like your plants do but rather it curves down and trails down the side of a very tall shelf. It might even be 5 ft long. I need help. I have taken all of my plants this morning and taking them all out of soil and put them all in water simply because my cats are killing them. They absolutely refuse to leave them alone and they refuse to stay out of the planters. They literally crawl up inside the planters and lay on them until they are all broken and I've just watched my plants deteriorate to a point that obviously I need to remove soil from my house and use water.😢 Please any advice would help.
I’m sorry for the late reply. It’s been years since I had a cat but I can remember how easily they can destroy the plants. It is a game for them plus they’re looking for places to keep them cool and the list goes on and on. There are a few ways to avoid this. 1: rocks on the soil no sand so they won’t dig 2: aluminum foil, scrunched, they don’t like to touch it (it doesn’t let the soil get good airflow if too tight) 3: use pots that are one size bigger than the rootball of the plant or pots with narrow neck so the foliage doesn’t allow any space for them to fit 4: you could use sticks on the pots but this can look bad and might be dangerous but driftwoods will work like a charm! Plus they will look cool in my opinion the best option is number 3 and then 1. I know that it can be difficult but plants help us in many ways in our daily lives so I believe it would be sad if you gave up the hobby, instead I would like to encourage you to find a work around this problem.
I have grown asparagus in water for many years without any problems, just remember to have water rich in nutrients and give it plenty of light so it doesn’t yellow. The white thing on the soil might actually not have been something harmful but a sign of extra moisture and life in your soil, even mushrooms can’t be considered bad. Still it is not a great look. The fact that it doesn’t stand up might be that it is heavy on the edges which means that the plant is old, not bad at all, if it was small but couldn’t stand up then it would mean that it is a little weak. It must be looking so majestic and tropical on the shelf! Whatever help you might need just feel free to tell me!
