My Spider Plant Ocean has limp leaves with brown streaks that turn completely brown. It's in a terra cotta or clay pot. I did miss watering it one week. I water with tap water treated with an API water conditioner.
I've noticed that my Thanksgiving cactus has these translucent leaves. What is the cause and how do I fix it? I've been watering it in the sink and really giving it a good watering, including spraying the leaves.
I repotted my spider plants in March from their nursery pots to 6 inch terracotta pots. The pots are getting a white powdery residue on the outside. Plus they're a pain to water. I recently bought the 6 inch clear plastic pots that help stop spiraling roots. I plan to put the clear pots in other plastic pots that are prettier. A couple of my spider plants have roots coming out of the drain holes. Is it too soon to repot them?
I currently have 10 peduncles on my Hoya. So far one has bloomed and is now fading. I just noticed that four are opening tonight! I am so excited.
I have been feeding the local crows raw peanuts for a few months now. Sometimes I get 3 or 4 crows. One Sunday morning there were eight in the trees in front of my townhouse.
​
I have a black manx cat named Ziggy. He is an indoor car, but lately wants to go on walkabouts. He escaped that Sunday morning. I was still in my bathrobe having come outside to toss a few peanuts on the sidewalk. I tried to chase Ziggy down, but he was not cooperating. Since I didn't want to run around the neighborhood in my robe, I left Ziggy outside and went inside to dress.
​
By the time I went back outside, all eight crows were in the trees creating a ruckus. I looked around for Ziggy and there he was cowering in the bushes in front of my townhouse. He ran towards me, looking a bit spooked. I grabbed him and tossed him into the house. Then I turned around and profusely thanked the crows for helping me get my rotten little black cat back in the house. They got more peanuts.
I found this compass/clock carabiner in my desk. It doesn't have a battery in it. Would anyone happen to know which button battery this takes?
