I wish our government would regulate this shit. Airlines shouldn't be able to nickle and dime like this. Prices just keep going up 😒

It's super pretty! I love the sunstress colour 😍

Not much point in running from it, you're already getting wet if you're caught out in it 🤷‍♀️. I'll run if I hear thunder though, don't want to get electrocuted.

The lithops? I like them! I have a couple that are mostly green but they're pretty low maintenance

Cute!

Yay! They're so pretty! A frydek is definitely on my list

Also you guys need to start posting more! It's starting to feel like a one woman show around here lol

I find if I don't make my soil super chunky then it stays damp for way too long. My house is pretty humid usually so I mostly go with 1:1:1 orchid bark, perlite, and potting soil. So far all of my plants have grown well in it, though I did have a lemon button fern that loved straight soil and staying damp. I miss that little guy... Stupid thrips.

I'm more of a tea drinker, but my spouse really likes the decaf beans from Saltwinds Coffee Company. They're a Canadian east coast company. https://www.saltwindscoffee.com/product/decaf-ocean-fresh/?v=34f67f9dfb46

That and Kirkland decaf are his go-to's. Like OP, he also can't have a lot of caffeine anymore.

Side eye my growing plant collection .... yes.

You could try a cat friendly plant and hang it out of reach? Not sure how acrobatic your cat is though, I'm lucky mine leaves the plants alone. Though I think I've overwhelmed her with the quantity and so she's not very interested lol

Lol the wall is actually more dusky in person (like a muddy rust), my camera makes it look bright orange so I look like a crazy person.

Care regime lately has just been to water when dry (so like every 7-14 days) and fertilize rarely (mostly because I forget). It actually doesn't live where it is in the picture but hangs out right in my east facing sliding door so it gets lots of morning light. I keep it and most of my plants in a chunky mix (1 part orchid bark, 1 part perlite, 1 part potting soil), otherwise they take forever to dry out with the humidity here.

It probably would be a lot bigger if I hadn't swapped everything to semi hydro last year to try and be rid of fungus gnats (a strategy which actually did work, but I'm a lazy plant parent so they didn't really thrive in that). It lived in water for quite a while re-rooting so it was just a sad and dying leaf a couple months ago. It's made a huge comeback this summer, with another leaf on the way.
