It’s to remind you that you need more cheese. I almost was down to the Kraft Singles the other day. Those commercials saved my life.

This was my first thought - that this was a calculated stunt. Talent builds intrigue, but rage gets clicks. This is sad to see as it is, but if this is a genuine reaction, it’s even sadder.

I would never want anything to do with this artist, whether this was a genuine bad reaction or malicious. Just sad.

It is! Nepenthes Sanguinea Orange

Some definitely don’t mind a little chill at night. Other hybrids are hearty in either. Do you know which one you have?

Post a picture! Also there is a pretty great Discord for John’s Carnivorous Plants that can usually ID a Nepenthes in minutes here: discord.gg/bn4wNpwj (but post here first because I’m greedy and I want a first crack at it)

I’m so thankful @AlecStewart1st got hold of this to help answer questions for you. Everything you were told is 100% the perfect advice.

If you want to know more of my setup, and maybe help plan some of your own - I have a single 10w SANSI bulb about a foot away and on for 8 hours a day, also the plant is in an East facing window. I have the nursery-style pot on top of some glass “rocks” in a drainage tray, and water twice a week using the “sponge” rule. The tray of glass “rocks” keeps the Nep from sitting in water (and avoids possible minerals getting to it). My apartment ranges from 30% humidity in the winter to about 70%+ in summer. I live in the Northeastern US near the coast, so that helps a bit. You can see my setup here:

I don’t run a heat lamp, but I keep mine inside, nearish a window, and it never gets below 60F in my house (so about 15.5C). I water mine from the top, when I see water start to form in the rocks under it, I stop. I do that twice a week based on that “sponge” rule.

Here you go! “Nepenthes like being kept moist, not wet. Think of a moist sponge. They appreciate a well draining potting mix and dislike standing in water constantly. They should never be allowed to completely dry out. You can keep them in saucers of water indoors, but they must be allowed to evaporate in between waterings.” - redleafexotics.com/pages/nepenthes-care-guide. I think it was mentioned further up the thread as well with some other good tips from @AlecStewart1st

“Additionally, Disney announced that starting September 6 subscribers in the US will have access to a new ad-free bundled subscription featuring the ad-free Disney+ and Hulu services for $19.99 a month” I already have had this for a while, it’s interesting that this isn’t going up… maybe I’m missing something? I think I might have ESPN+ in mine as well, but I don’t use it, so didn’t notice.

Hola! 1 10 year account, 3 accounts at 3+ years.

I heard rumors (grain of salt, yada yada). With the ESO free Epic week combined with the ESO+ free right after it, there may have been some unsavory situations happening. Totally hearsay, but it does make sense on the surface.

Are you bottom watering that Nepenthes with that pot? I only ask because I had a bad experience doing bottom/tray watering, and was wondering your results (I also had to swap to LFSM for my Neps).

I also had a huge cluster of D. Spatulata like that and they were super cranky, ended up having to separate all of mine - it's like your plants are 100% opposite mine!

SallyTAB, 11 months ago

Lucky duck. I had two hoya blooms starting this year... and both fell off before they bloomed. They appear to be super fragile, ceiling fan blew one of them off, the other got knocked off when I was spraying it for fungus gnats.

SallyTAB, 11 months ago

Yup. Both of mine were on my carnosa. Maybe later this year (once the fans are off).

SallyTAB, 11 months ago

Deleted four accounts of 3-11 years. Yup. Bye. I ain't waiting around to see reddit turn into "myspace after tom"

SallyTAB, 11 months ago

I deleted one 11 year account and 3 three year accounts. The amount of absolute repeat garbage bots on all my homepage, and throughout popular was so bad, it just became Facebook, but angrier.

Weirdest plant I own, Drosera Binata (which is carnivorous), I have two and a half Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plants, wife has one I take care of), some common "Spoon Sundew" Drosera Spatulata, a couple of Pinguiculas, and a Utricularia, those are my carnivorous ones. They are definitely the weirder ones, the rest are commonplace collector basics (begonia, orchid, calatheas, pothos, etc.).

I have a shot of my U. Reniformis and D. Binata, https://lemmy.world/post/79348 I don't know if that will work - first week here.

SallyTAB, 11 months ago

Yup! Drosera is a sundew! It sounds pretentious AF, but a lot of plant nerds stick to Latin names because some plant common names get thrown around to plants that aren't part of that genus or species, and that causes some problems researching care and needs of the plant. After a while you just stop thinking about it.

If I had a nickel for everything named a cactus that isn't...

If you want to know more, just ask! I'll talk about carnivorous stuff all damn day.

SallyTAB, 11 months ago

Absolutely! I need to know more about my own local stuff (I'm in New England. We have trees and poison ivy, so that's all I usually identify).

The Pine Barrens have a bunch of cool stuff! at least two different Drosera - Intermedia and Rotundifolia. Also Sarracenia (North American Pitcher Plants) and Utricularia (Bladderworts) - one of Charles Darwin's favorite carnivores - those little dudes live around most of the world except Antarctica. That seems like a super hiking spot, I'll have to visit there with the wife and go on a carnivore expedition.

Edit - wife is super excited to go, and we're going to try to get there this year! Thank you so much! This is the kind of stuff I found on reddit, and I'm glad to find it here on Lemmy ;)

Working from home helps, you can notice stuff right away. Once you get it zeroed in, a lot of it is just water and make sure the timer ticks on for the light.

An average orca weights 6600 to 8800 pounds. Using 7700 pounds as the weight of our orca to bananafy, at 3 bananas per pound = 23,100 bananas per orca.

So the asteroid is 1,940,400 bananas.

SallyTAB, 11 months ago

Thanks for the heads up! Kbin was still wonky when I tried to get on it earlier, so I've been letting it be until the reddit exodus.
