No, los caracoles trompeta de Malasia no son dañinos para los peces. De hecho, pueden ser beneficiosos para tu acuario de varias maneras: Limpieza: Ayudan a descomponer los desechos y restos de comida, manteniendo el acuario limpio. Oxigenación: Al excavar en el sustrato, ayudan a airear las raíces de las plantas y a mejorar la circulación del agua. Control de algas: Pueden ayudar a controlar el crecimiento de algas indeseables. Sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta que los caracoles trompeta de Malasia pueden reproducirse rápidamente. Si la población se vuelve demasiado grande, pueden convertirse en una molestia. Para evitar esto, puedes controlar su número mediante la extracción manual o el uso de trampas para caracoles. Espero que esto sea útil. ¡Buena suerte con tu acuario!
I just transplanted mine in soil outdoors, it was doing well (5 days) but then it rained all night... Now it seems dry, like root rot or somethin😢😢😢 can i do anything to save it?
Hi there! It's possible that the heavy rain might have affected your thyme. To check for root rot: Gently dig up the plant and inspect the roots. If they're dark, mushy, or slimy, it's a sign of root rot.
If the roots look ok, then it should be ok. The heavy rains just beat it up a little before it had time to establish. Make sure the soil is well draining. Thyme has its roots in the Mediterranean so it prefers drier conditions. Does not like damp conditions.
Tropical milkweed is a host plant for monarch butterflies, providing them with food for their caterpillars. However, if it's planted in areas where monarchs are not native, it can disrupt their natural migration patterns. Tropical milkweed and chili plants are not known to harm each other when planted together. If you have insect problems on your tropical milkweed, it's possible they might spread to your chili plant. Keep an eye out for signs of pests and take appropriate action if necessary.
Thank you for making this! I just got my own lobster and wanted to know more but there is like absolutely NOTHING! This video is so helpful, I just want my boy to live a happy spoiled life
Hoya shepherdii and Hoya kentiana are similar in appearance, they are not the same plant. Hoya shepherdii has longer, thinner leaves with a more pronounced taper towards the tip. Hoya kentiana's leaves are generally shorter and rounder.....Both have clusters of small, waxy flowers, but Hoya shepherdii's flowers are usually a darker shade of pink or red, while Hoya kentiana's flowers are often a lighter pink or white.
You can buy snowtopia bacopa seeds, so you should be able to collect them from a plant. I cannot find any info on this topic. I usually save all seeds that I can for replanting the following year. But I want to know how I can save from this plant. I do not want to overwinter and grow from cuttings. I anyone has done this successfully I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance.
I have not personally, but I know the seeds are for sale. I actually bought a bulk of them a few days ago for our aquariums. The internet says they can be a bit tricky.... Once the Bacopa monnieri flowers have faded, you should see small seed capsules form. Allow these capsules to dry completely on the plant before harvesting. Carefully collect the seeds from the capsules and store them in a cool, dry place.
Thanks for the help, but I knew that part already. I meant like.... (Abelmoschus esculentus 'Motherland'). Thats probably what is going to be, I was thinking there may be a difference in the species name, maybe the genus too. the scientific names of some of these plants are crazy different from there own species...
That's a great question! The name 'Swedish Ivy' is a bit of a misnomer. While it's a popular name for Plectranthus verticillatus, it's actually native to Africa. The name 'Swedish Ivy' likely stems from its resemblance to true ivy (Hedera helix), which is native to Europe, including Sweden. People may have noticed the similar appearance and given it the name 'Swedish Ivy' to distinguish it from other ivy-like plants.
Unusual fish. Amazing how the florescent colour genes from jelly fish and coral crossed into the fishes genes. I had a lot of fish, including marines in the past. I do miss keeping them.
Once white blooms appear on a cayenne pepper plant, it typically takes around 70-100 days for the peppers to mature and be ready for harvest. However, this time frame can vary slightly depending on factors like climate, growing conditions, and specific variety of cayenne pepper.
My father used to collect red clover blossoms and dry them, then use them to make tea. He said that red clover would ward off cancers, I thought he was just an old hillbilly but when he died at the age of 91, an autopsy showed no sign of cancer in his body. Maybe there is something to what he had told me.
That's a touching story about your father. Red clover has indeed been used traditionally in various cultures for its potential health benefits, including as a tea.
Your video is really amazing . But your video's SEO score is not good .Due to which your channel is not improving. If you solve this problem your channel will progress. If you want to solve this problem ,I can help you. Please reply to me.
That's fantastic news! Bacopa is a hardy and resilient plant. It's great to hear it's thriving even in August. Your dedication to keeping it healthy is paying off!
It is a noxious weed. Birds eat the seeds and then pass them to surrounding farms by their feces. It spreads rapidly and destroys farm and pasture land.
I'm sure its not intentional and this is an older video but NOTE: "The name Wandering Dude is now often used as an alternate name for this plant due to the offensive nature of the historical name." re: Tradescantia Zebrina
Since starting to garden, I have noticed that all the native plants are called weeds, why have we been taught to hate our native flowers and shrubs when they have so many health benefits that we haven't been told about?
That's a great point! It's unfortunate that many native plants are often dismissed as 'weeds.' It's a reminder of how important it is to appreciate the diversity of nature and to learn about the benefits of the plants around us.
I’d suggest planting them about 3 to 4 feet apart. This allows enough room for each plant to spread and grow into a fuller hedge while still maintaining that dense look for a fence. The exact spacing can depend on how tight you want the coverage, but this distance usually works well. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your project!
