There’s life!

After months of nothing…all this happened in a week!

1 out of 4 rooted and the other 3 did not. I put them in water beads and after 1 day, roots came out and now they’re blooming?? I can’t believe it!

Feeling discouraged

I just want to give up!
I got my first succulent for Mother’s Day. Since then I learned it wasn’t getting enough light.
I acquired more succulents and kept them outside and got grow lights for some inside.
Outside ones got sun burnt.
A couple inside ones got fungus.
I held off repotting because I was afraid of fungal gnats from MG succulent/cactus mix. My sister had no problem so I bought a bag.
Repotted everything because I was afraid of the fungus from my other plants.
Very next day - fungal gnats are present
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I covered all the soil with DE (luckily I had a huge bag). I don’t have access to Mosquitoe Bits in Canada. I put it all outside.

I tried to do everything right. Getting the right soil, light, grit…reading everything…and now this bs.

I want to throw in the towel.

Just pictures of the journey.

Healthy Planet, Toronto Yonge/Dundas, $7.99, prepared foods

I have had ZERO luck with Healthy Planet. I will never order from them again.

I got the prepared bag today. So excited for it, and it’s, 2 boxes of salad and 1 box of yogurt, berries, and granola. Stuff that’s part of the Cyclospora outbreak - probably why it’s not selling and it’s up for TGTG.

Besides those issues - I opened it up and found mold all over the cheese 🤢

Needless to say - immediately reported and got a refund.

My first experience (which I didn’t post), was the fresh “meat bag” which was 4 pieces of fish (3 tuna steaks and 1 rainbow trout). We all got sick (diarrhea!) from eating it. It was reported to TGTG.

What’s wrong with the leaves?

My plant started getting these black spots on the leaves. Should I be worried?

Help me keep them alive!

Hi! I brought these guys home 2 weeks ago. Didn’t water them. Took them out of their original pots and let them dry out a few days. Repotted in 90% grit and 10% soil last week and still didn’t water. All the tap roots were intact and dry when I repotted.

They now are getting wrinkled and are a bit soft.

I put a few drops of water on the 2 I thought were most wrinkled yesterday but they look the same. Should I give them a good soak?

Conophytum Question

Hello! I got these babies on Monday and planted them in a mix of grit and soil (60/40) with a bit of akadema on top.

I didn’t water them. But they have no roots. Should I be worried or change something?

Sansi light very hot

Hi - I have these Sansi lights - they are the 10w version.

I find that they are extremely hot to touch when it’s at the brightest setting - like burn your fingers hot - is this normal?

Thinking of switching to the Barrina T5 strip lights instead.

Thanks!

Re-pot?

Hello. Newbie here! Just got these little guys 2 days ago from a nursery.

Do I need to re-pot it? And when?

Thanks!

I think I’ve got a problem!

How did this happen? In 1 week, I went from 1 sad succulent in my washroom to all these! 🙈

La La Bakeshop (Bay), Toronto, $5.99

Scored on this box! $5.99 for $18 worth but when I added it up, it was $29 worth!

It’s a bit tricky to get this box because when it comes up, you literally have 30min to pick it up. It’s very last minute and you really need to live close by.

Wanda’s Pie in the Sky, Toronto, Large Bag, $9.00($7.99+tax)

I think this was terrible. 3 old cheese croissants, some sort of bread stick, cinnamon roll and a cookie? This is $24 worth?
I submitted to TGTG customer service and was refunded.

Little Pebbles Cafe, Toronto, $5.99

First time getting a box from Little Pebbles. There must be stuff inside the croissant-like items because it’s a bit weighty.

Marvelous by Fred (Queen St) Toronto, $9.99 + tax

I guess they can’t all be winners. 4 x raisin brioche 2 x chocolate brioche 2 x mini meringue Is this $30 worth?

Eataly, Eaton Centre, Toronto, Mixed Bag $9.99

Large chocolate pistachio egg (regular price $44.99! That’s crazy) Caprese salad Gnocchi in bolognese ragu

u/Playful_Mix_5005 — 5 months ago

A little disappointed in the variety but I guess it’s $30 worth?

  1. Chicken meatballs: $14.99
  2. Salsa Verde: $11.99(!!! Seems excessive)
  3. Venchi Tin Bunny - no idea about the value.

First time getting a bag from them. This is only 50% of what I received! There was so much that I shared it with 2 others. The whole white plastic bag was filled - it felt like 5lbs of bread in there!
