Wondering if I can leave my pings in quarantine land for incoming plants - I am thinking they shouldn’t really get infested since they’ll trap and digest everything? Is my thinking flawed?
I got some neglected water props from a friend. I should have taken a photo of the roots before placing these, but trust me when I say some of the pothos roots are over 2 feet long. I put them in a little fluval just to hold them down, figured I’d acclimate them to my lighting before I try repotting in soil.
How would you go about this? Should I do a semi hydro setup before going to aroid mix? Cut roots?
Thanks! Here are some cuttings in my thrifted containers for tax😍

How can I acclimate these properly to an aroid mix? Should I do semi hydro first? Clip the roots?
First pic is June 9, others are today. I thought I scorched her but it seems to be getting worse even after moving her to lower light. Is it fungus? How to tell?
She is my first aroid so really out of my realm - but I have since bought others that are thriving.
My first philodendron - got her on fb marketplace for $2! (No idea if that’s a good deal but I’m happy about it🤣)
I’ve had a jumping spider living in my gas cap door for awhile now. I get gas maybe once a month. I noticed her last month and just apologized for disturbing her and went on my way. Honestly kind of forgot about her
Well today I had to get gas, I remembered she might be there and very gently opened the door and she came flying out and ran, leaving all these baby spoods behind. I hung around for like 10-15 minutes hoping I’d spot her trying to get back to them but to no avail. Can I do anything to help them?
I know we get lots of beach questions, so adding to the pile.
I have a 13 year old dog who’s never been to the beach. She’s mildly dog reactive (manageable but we can’t have off leash dogs running up on us, and if another dog is reactive she will just start with a high pitch bark that actually sets off the glass break detector on my security system and not stop until out of site). I’d really like to take her to a beach just for the experience, she recently started having seizures so we are doing some bucket list items.
She’s great with people but is there anywhere in the area that might be mostly dog free? We are on the west side but willing to drive a bit. Willing to break a “no dogs” rule if it’s likely there won’t be other people there that we’d bother.
PS she actually hates water, but I think she’d love rolling around in the sand😂
My pings were glistening, dewey, and sticky yesterday. I repotted them in a mix of pumice/pearlite with some long fibered sphagnum moss to help with moisture, and gently wrapped the roots in moss as well. Not even 24 hours later not only are they dry but the newest growth has burned tips. I only use rain water and distilled water. I haven’t misted them before but will that help? I have some hope left for 2 of them but the other two are looking extra rough now. I’m so upset!
I was thinking about trying to add more moss which is more similar to what they were in before but on the flip side thinking I should leave them alone and let them try to recover. Could also probably make a little humidity recovery tank. I just tend to do too much when usually I need to just leave it alone lol
Just got some pinguicula sethos a few weeks ago, left in original containers for now.
Main problem is that the leaves seem to be growing downwards and 2/4 of them now have airborne roots and topple out of their containers.
They sit in a tray of shallow distilled water and under a grow light 12 hours a day.
I want to repot them because we now have algae growth, but how do I manage the root issue?
Thank you!
I don’t have anxiety using AI or anxiety that AI will take my job - I do however have anxiety around AI outpacing me. For example, we use PBI dashboards. Someone on my team recently used AI to publish a streamlit dashboard, which is quicker and more responsive than our PBI dashboards. I was JUST starting to get comfortable with PBI, and now I feel like I’m going to be forced to learn streamlit before I’m ready. It’s just getting overwhelming.
My main reason for posting is that I am leading our AI meeting tomorrow, and I want to talk about this and provide any resources/reassurances to people to deal with this and lessen anxiety. Has anyone found any articles detailing this feeling? All I can really find is specific to AI killing us or taking our jobs. We need to embrace it and work with it, but the pace is killing me.

In Ohio - trying to determine if invasive or not. Sprayed a cat with a hose to get it away and of course I’m already invested in its wellbeing. No nest in sight
Update: a home rehabber took it. It’s still real fiesty so here’s to hoping there’s a chance for it.
Hi all,
Looking for one central location for different soil mix amendment instructions. I’m sick of looking things up and getting different answers. I want to be able to go to one website and find different mix recommendations for plants/categories of plants
Thanks!
I haven’t filled my gas tank in like a month and just found this guy today (sorry for low quality, took the pic when I got home in the dark). He managed to hang on for a 60 mile round trip and stayed around for the 6 hours I was out. He’s pretty well protected where he is but should I just leave him? I have a ton of driving to do the next few days and feel terrible.
I think his name shall be Diesel, though I’ll take suggestions.
Apologies to the spider if I’ve misgendered.
We have a metal cabinet in the garage that became home to some mice over the winter because it was left open. We’ve evacuated the mice. Wondering if this method would be efficient for cleaning (avoiding bleach so we don’t corrode the metal even more):
Saturate nest with ecostrong enzyme cleaner
Let sit 15 min
Sweep up or shop vac (wearing N95/eye protection)
Then wipe clean with ecostrong.
Cabinet holds cleaners and pesticide (go figure), but there was a bag of that fluffy grass seed stuff in the bottom that they ripped up so the nest is basically fluff.
I’m repainting my wooden garage door and really want to take the decorative appliqués off - my husband thinks taking them off is going to create a huge project and isn’t worth it. I’m thinking worst case it’s gonna be some glue and caulk, but they’re not budging as easily as I thought they would.
Anyone have experience with this? How are they typically applied?
