I was excited to see this article written on the verge but then I read it. Seems like they are only interested in what the fediverse can do now that Threads is getting in and sticking their foot in the door. It’s likely they needed Meta as a corporation to validate federation as something with real potential. We need to be highly critical about the entities who just see this as another way to make money off our data

These are beautiful plants. When you water them, how much water comes out from the bottom and how fast does it happen? Ensuring you have good drainage is key for all plants. This one is probably just in need of brighter light to keep its pretty colors. It may start to look kind of weird until next warm season. I had one and it didn’t make it through the winter inside. Maybe a light will help.

I only have 1 southern facing window and I currently have my bed up against that wall. May try to rearrange that room to out my big elephant ear and alocacia there.

I keep most of my pants on a multi level shelf by a west facing window with lights. They do ok but would love to find a set up to keep them warmer and better lit.

no but it is possible that a stray got to it. it is outside.

The were solid (not mushy), light colored, and didn’t have a rot smell at all. Same with the rhizomes. The pot does have drainage, but maybe not enough. I also think the soil may have been a bit compacted and it’s possible that water stayed at the surface and never moved downwards

NC. Going to go hunting for them this week. The extra hot weather must have boosted their ripening

Whoa. What region was this in. I dont think paw paws are ready where I’m at yet

ooo, I’ve never used leca before. Is it hard to keep clean? I have some of my pants in water with pebbles and when I replace the water and clean it out, the smooth surface of the pebbles makes cleaning the gunk pretty easy. The rough surface of leca seems like it would be hard to clean.

Many never seem to develop strong and substantial root systems no matter how properly I water them or how much I amend the soil for what they specifically need. I have an alocacia zebrina that has only grown about 5 leaves the whole time I’ve had it (about a year) and I’ve read that it’s a fast growing plant once it has enough light and soil. I guess I wanna be more confident about whether the light situation I’ve set up is enough, and I want to feel more confident that my plants are thirsty before I water again. My concern is whether these meters actually work or if they are a gimmick.

I have several grow lights, and I think they do a lot of good but I think some of my plants are still not thriving. Many never seem to develop strong and substantial root systems no matter how properly I water them or how much I amend the soil for what they specifically need. I am just starting to fertilize my plants regularly and I feel like getting some of these meters is another way to level-up as a plant parent.

I do bring out many of my plants to live outside in the warm months, but for the more delicate ones I simply leave them by my sunny window + plant light area

wow. ive never seen these before! Love it

This makes no sense to me. Did they provide a reason for choosing Discord of all things? What was wrong with making announcements on Lemmy? Why wouldn’t they choose to make announcements in another federated format in addition and not instead of lemmy? Like, I’m not super tech savvy but I’m sure they could set up an RSS-like feed to send out alerts? IDK
