I want it but not for $30 CAD. Maybe if it goes on sale for 50-60% off. Apparently they didn't scale up the UI so all the icons are still itty bitty. Laziest port ever 😑

I want more Animal Crossing 🤞 I'm hoping with it's success for New Horizons that we don't have to wait 12 years again for the next one. A new Mario would be good too though, Odyssey was a lot of fun.

This is a drop for me, I like my romance to be assault free.

Ok thanks! I checked out the desktop app and it's pretty awesome. I may just get the android app. One more question and then I'll leave you alone, do you know if the android app can chrome cast?

Am I missing something or is Miru $13.99 for the Android app? Just want to make sure I'm looking at the right thing before I buy it. Also really surprised something like this is on Google Play.

I was using Aniyomi but I think ot's almpst at the end without extension updates...

Lol literally one character that isn't a cop or doctor is introduced, I was shocked it turned out to be him 🙄. I'll give it another couple episodes but if they're all like this then I'm out.

I'm going to be busy this season! So many shows I want to check out and lots of others I'm excited to continue :D

Pff, Balatro has nothing on Jimbo's Game.

I bought Reka and Baldurs Gate 3, haven't played BG3 yet but Reka is fun! It's buggy so I'm holding off on playing more until it's a bit more stable but I'm excited. Been playing a bit of my backlog though before jumping into BG3.

This is my hoya sipitangensis, not sure why it chose to flower while I'm re-rooting it but I'm not complaining.

A lot of comments about the smell here haha. This one actually smells pretty faint and just smells like flowers. I have heard some varieties smell bad but so far none of the ones that have bloomed for me have been bad.

 

Went to a plant show yesterday with no intention to buy. I've had a h. gunung gading (bottom) on my list for so long though and the price was right so here we are... Also there was a carnivorous table so I picked up a sundew (top) to go with my pings that I had at home.

 

Shipping has closed for the winter so I will not be getting anymore plants this year. Probably for the better... I'll have no space once they all get bigger 😅

Got a couple of my wishlist hoyas (undulata and clemensorium) and some other beautiful plants including some succulents and begonias.

 

I've been waiting a month or so for the blooms to finally open up! They smell so good, very floral.

 

 

My hoya's sunstressing makes me so happy ❤

 

Featuring my cat 😺

More blooms:

 

Post pics if you got em! I think mine is my dioscorea elephantipes (at least right now, it changes often). Grown from a seed, she'll be a year old in July :)

 

Don't know if there's any Canadians on Lemmy that have ordered from Crystal Star Nursery but this is my third order and I'm so excited!

My Collection (lemmy.ca)

This is most of my current collection, minus a couple hoyas in quarantine, some succulent babies I'm growing from seed, and a thanksgiving cactus that is budding that I did not want to risk messing up the blooms.

Started with a spider plant in July of 2022, after almost a full year of keeping it alive I decided to try branching out last spring and here we are. A lot were cuttings from friends' plants :)

 

Hello! I'm looking to see if anyone has a good hoya seller in Canada, specifically looking to have it delivered to New Brunswick. I tried an Etsy shop from BC in August and received the fungus gnat infestation I'm currently still battling, so anyone reputable that you haven't received pests from would be awesome!

I have a fungus gnat problem with my houseplants, I've kept them relatively under control using Mosquito Dunks in my watering can since August and some yellow sticky traps but I can't seem to eradicate them. I was considering buying nematode pot poppers but I've never used them before so I was wondering if anyone had any tips for application. All my plants are still relatively small so I don't have many large pots for any of them (most are between 4-10").

Any and all recommendations welcome, having pests is really taking all the joy out of having plants. I'm in Canada so a lot of pesticides aren't available to me.

UPDATE: I figured I'd update this post incase someone comes looking for solutions and sees this. I ended up going with a top layer of silica sand (2-4 mm in size) on all of my pots. I continued with the BTI water, let my plants completely dry out between waterings, and bottom-watered most of my plants. I haven't seen a fungus gnat in about 2 weeks so I think I have been successful in eradicating them. Will update again if this changes.

Update 2: I take back the update, they're still here... I'm so over the freaking gnats.

Update 3: Just updating this post in case someone stumbles across it looking for answers. What worked for me was switching most of my plants to semi-hydro and I now have a Pinguicula Morensis that eats any stragglers that come in with any new plants. The plants that are still in soil are watered so rarely that the gnats are not really an issue.
