Falls das nächste Mal so eine Meldung aus Bayern kommt, war das bestimmt ich, sorry.

Dann hab ich mal wieder meine Balkon-Hecke entlaubt lol

💚

Dude, WHAT?

I literally got a cutting a few months ago and had to throw it away/ gifted it so someone else (?) because I read that it is super super toxic.

I feel so dumb right now, fuck.

Thanks for the information. I will see if I can source another cutting, because you need some competition here in this community 😁

Your routine sounds like it already is ideal, great! :)

In my experience, flushing only often tends to remove residues not quite as well as it should be. Do you see those brown colourations on the pumice? Those are waste products of decayed roots.

Maybe you could soak the whole pot for a few hours in lukewarm water. The minerals and exudate are often inside the substrate too, at least I had it in pon.

Also, I now found the culprit of those spots:

Do you see the ingredient list? It's super short.
It lacks all micronutrients. This fertilizer is trash. It isn't "plant food", it's the equivalent of a slice of white toast.

Definitely get a proper fertilizer, like the one you mentioned from GH.
I personally like Masterblend, because I have a lot of plants and it's super cheap compared to pre-dissolved ones, while being pretty much the same.

Those "good" ones are usually two part systems. They include ALL plants need, including trace elements.

I made a post over at !hydroponics@slrpnk.net on how to make the mixing way easier, without having to measure volumes. Check it out to save some time ;)

Seeing posts like these makes me sad that I will probably never be able to own one. They're highly toxic to cats 😥

It doesn't matter much if you choose a "all purpose" or "gaming" distro. They are mostly the same.

I'm personally a huge fan of Bazzite. It just works and you get a very robust and user friendly piece of software.

Wow! Absolutely amazing! Great job! 💪

Seeeexy! 💪

Wie trocknest du?

For me, it looks like a deficiency. What fertilizer and water do you use?

Also, how do you use the pon? AFAIK, pon needs to cycle between dry and wet, or else the roots might suffocate. Do you use a submerged, or a wick setup?

The roots should be buried, or else they might dry out and get damaged. Is that on purpose?

Do you flush and soak it regularly? It looks like there are some residues on top.
The nutrient solution is drawn up and then dries out on the surface, because the substrate is highly wicking.

I also made similar experiences and decided to not use pon anymore, because it just doesn't work for my type of (submerged) setup. I personally prefer LECA instead.

Also, Schädlinge sind natürlich immer so ein Thema.
In der Regel kriegen die meisten Pflanzen eigentlich kaum welche, so lange sie gesund sind.

Aber genau das ist das Aber.

Meistens sind sie das nämlich nicht. Zu viel Licht (Sonnenbrand/ Verbrennungen), zu wenig Licht, Dürre, Überwässern, Luftzirkulation, Nährstoffmängel, und und und... Irgendeinen dieser Stressfaktoren hast du immer dabei 😉

Bei mir war es zum Beispiel die Weide im Topf nebenan, die ist komplett voll mit Viechern. Und da haben ein paar die Möglichkeit genutzt und sind im richtigen Moment rübergehüpft.

Die waren bisher top gesund, dank Hydro und Sonnensegel, aber hatten halt trotzdem Stress.

Was Pestizide angeht muss ich mich mal nochmal besser einlesen, ich glaube nämlich mal gehört zu haben, dass z.B. Neemöl bei Erhitzen giftig werden kann. Ich pack das mal in einen anderen Post.

Und Waschen klappt auch nur begrenzt. Ich hab es mal mit Sprudelwasser und einem ganz kleinen Tropfen Öko-Shampoo getestet, und es hat auch nur begrenzt funktioniert.
Notfalls muss man halt Hasch oder ein Extrakt (natürlich nicht in DE) wie Butter herstellen, damit kriegt man das auch alles gut raus.

How does the soil feel? Has it been overly wet in the last days?

Do you fertilize it?

Might be overwatering, (potassium?) deficiency, or heat stress. Probably a mix of those.

Dauert noch, definitiv.

Die hat Mängel. Hast du schon gedüngt? Welches Substrat?

Maybe they can help you on your balcony!

I don't think so, because there are so many that are attracted by other things, such as honeydew.

But I have a Sarracenia out there!

It wasn't really happy until now, but once it acclimatises, it might catch a few ants and maybe wasps?

My nepenthes is indoor only, because I'm afraid I might introduce pests to my other houseplants when I have to bring it indoors over winter.

That’s amazing. Did the buggy get there on its own or did you help?

I had to help a bit 🙃
I put the bug onto the plant itself, but it crawled in there on its own.

My neps are still learning to walk. They've been fed synthetic fertiliser up until now, and they yet have to develop their hunting instincts :D

Definitely take some leaf pullings before! Just in case, if the soap kills the plants, you have a backup and can start growing them again.

I'm in a similar position with my Drosera right now.

What substrate do you use for your pings? If you use peat or other organic media, I think they won't be super happy. They arent bog plants and don't like to be having wet feet constantly afaik

I think I'm gonna print this out as a sticker, thanks! 🤗

Root rot?

Du hast mehrere Möglichkeiten:

Möglichkeit 1: Extraktion

• z.B. mit Alkohol oder Gas (Feuerzeuggas oder Dimethylether)
• Leider illegal
• Du müsstest definitiv wissen, was du da tust. Bei Butangas zum Beispiel hast du ein großes Explosionsrisiko, deswegen lieber nicht machen.

Zweite Möglichkeit: Hasch machen

• zählt nicht als Extraktion, daher legal
• Restrisiko von Teilchen (Beine, Fühler, usw.) bleibt immer noch ein wenig (?), aber sollte definitiv klappen
• Keine Risiken, also sowas wie Lösungsmittelrückstände, kritisches Handling, usw.

Möglichkeit 3: Waschen

• Ich bin ebenfalls kein Fan von Natron und Zitrone. Das sind mir zu viele Chemikalien, die man danach ordentlich abwaschen muss. Und ich bezweifle ebenfalls, dass die Reinigungswirkung ausreicht
• Stattdessen hab ich es mal mit destilliertem Wasser probiert, das ich im Sodastream aufgeblubbelt habe. Hat prima geklappt. Mit einem Tropfen Seife kann man zusätzlich die Oberflächenspannung reduzieren und den Effekt verbessern, falls das nicht ausreicht.

I think the brand doesn't matter much. They all work fine.

I will make a post about it, so it is easier accessible for others too.

TL;DR what I'll say:

• Expensive isn't much better per se, but there are still some with worse quality than others (unpuffed balls, etc.)
• There's "red" LECA (smoother surface, but more compact) and "grey" LECA (very lightweight, porous and floats). Both have their own (small) pros and cons, but still similar. I just mixed them by now for aesthetic purposes lol
• The size variation matters a lot. Bigger, rounder balls = more air gaps. Also, I've found smaller beads to also be less porous than bigger ones.
• You have to soak it first in pure water when dry. If you use tap water instead, it will soak up the minerals and leach them out over the next weeks and alter the water chemistry, including pH.
  You can reverse this pretty fast by boiling in rain/ distilled water. The pressure from the boiling will drive out the remaining stuff from the pores.
• All in all, aside from the dust and (often) leftover minerals in the beginning, it is totally inert once you've soaked it in pure water at least two times.

Container Wars für Reiche, geil!
Wenn das zu ner Fernsehserie wird, bin ich auf jeden Fall dabei 😁

Nicht, weil es mich interessieren würde, sondern weil ich die Tränen der superreichen Käufer sehen will, die gerade 5 Millionen für einen Klumpen Stein rausgeballert haben, und die Analysen dann zeigen, dass es sich nur um Silikatgestein oder so handelt hahahahaa
