Just that some hoyas may need more water than you would think, really. I water this one every two days, it never gets dry. If it dries out at all the new leaves look weird and a couple of old ones will drop, as will the peduncles. It's in an airy soil mix, but I am constantly surprised that it isn't dying of root rot, lol.

Have you tried using an orchid fertilizer to get yours to bloom? The miracle grow spray seems to get them going, I use that once a week (it's very weak) and also use the shultz liquid fertilizer at about half strength every second watering or so, during the growing season.

Yes. Cheese protects against death from any cause.

The real question is, why aren't you eating more cheese?

Kind of surprised I didn't see anyone mention Flash Gordon, from the early 80s. It's not a great movie, but it's highly entertaining and Queen did the soundtrack.

Off topic, but since this is an post about pixelfed and I can barely find anything about this issue elsewhere: is there any way to get hashtags you're following to actually show up in your feed? All I'm getting is a handful of accounts I'm following, and since they don't have much content, it's a pretty limited experience.

He regrets nothing, clearly.

Way to go, Glenn. Keep living your dreams.

A+ frog, would feed him flies.

There's nothing more disappointing than clicking into a thread because it looks like it might be interesting or fun, and realising 90% of the comments are the same old, tired jokes, repeated ad infinitum.

Kicking corporate ass sounds like exactly what I need right now. Congrats on making your dreams come true! I'd love a paperback if I'm lucky enough to win.

The mods of r/pics are absolute queens and kings. Bravo.

Thanks for the info all. Can't see your responses in the thread, but they showed up in my inbox. Growing pains :/

Is that a recent Lemmy update? I wonder if Inshould mention it to the Beehaw admins.

 

I had this notice pop up when I opened Jerboa this morning. Anyone know whether it will cause issues? I'm on Beehaw, if that matters.

Henning Mankell's Wallander books are great, if you're into the slightly depressing Nordic vibe.

 

Any hoya heads here?

This one had a learning curve, I'd heard they were thirsty but couldn't believe it needed that much water. After many lost peduncles, I've got one set of flowers opening and another close behind.

 

Top: Longbract frog orchid and Mountain death camas Bottom: Lesser yellow lady's slipper, Wood lily, and Pink wintergreen.

All found not too far from Canmore, Alberta, Canada.
