Pls recommend some trustworthy south Indian sellers who ship outside of south India with good packaging.

Looking for kayamboo, palais, as well as other jasmine varieties, Ketaki, and kanakaambaram, etc.

Was going to order from rinu's, but saw the reviews.

Got these orchids which travelled for a week. Any advice on care ? Pot in orchid pot or hang up?

Soaked the roots in water, and propped them like this for now.

Orchids:

Dendrobium densiflorum

Dendrobium transparens

Rhyncostylis Retusa

Vanda cristata

P.S. : I'm orchid noob.

Climate: tropical, with humid summers and monsoon. 3 months non freezing winters( it may go down to 1-2 degree celsius, no snow)

Will hoya linearis live and bloom in coastal weather?

Considering getting hoyas. But i don't want to torture them if they cannot live in the higher base temperature and humidity, as it lives in himalayas.

Hello. I want to know what bug it is. It is the size of an ant.

It kept it's front legs up and folded in the front like arms, and kept touching it's face. Scuttled below the leaf every time I approached for a picture. Uses only 4 legs behind the 'arms' to move, and has no problems navigating leaf underside. Always came back to the top of the leaf after I stepped away a meter. Idk if it jumps or not, and I saw no wing like structures.

Location: India- east coast.

Got this for 84 rupees. Is this a good price?

It came with small pot, though plant was dislodged from pot. lt was having few stones, but mostly soil and some bark. Not dry soil, but not wet. Soil felt cool to touch, like there was lingering moisture. No smell, so I suppose nothing is rotting, though a few tips are broken. Location- from meesho.

Caught a drop of nectar at the centre of my hibiscus

Took a teeny tiny bit. It tasted like honey😋 Left the rest for the bees🐝 and hummingbird hawk moths. (These are pics I took after tasting)

Hello. Are there some bulletproof livestock i can keep for a 20 litre freshwater planted tank?

Full planted dirt floor with sand on top, and floating plants, no filter, no co2, no aquarium lights, direct sunlight from window 3 hrs till sunset. 10-20% water changes per week.

If it is a bad idea, I'd like to know that too, and just keep it as an underwater garden.

Got some black ants grazing on my lobia beans😅.

They ran off faster than a ninja when I went to pick these. They never bit me so letting them be.

No aphids, mealybugs or any other pest on the plant. Some jumping spiders and orb weavers stay on the vines.
