Oh you’re scared? Good. You should be scared, if you’re doing something meaningful. But you should really be scared of not being scared. That’s when you’re being lulled to sleep. That’s when you’re not becoming everything you could be.

#Ph-SN021 Greener 🌿
For a long time I have felt the need to learn more about plants, how to grow and care for them. I feel that having plants in your home is a very positive thing and on the other hand I feel that we should also learn how to grow some edible plants, perhaps even vegetables, without having to be a farmer. I even think that over the years something that has been put to sleep is that part of being able to work the land. Nowadays, only if you are born near the countryside 🚜 you get that knowledge, on the other hand, if you are born in the city you probably don't know anything about working the land. Only in very special cases do you get city people who know and use knowledge of botany or gardening in their daily lives.
We continue with the personal challenge of "Posting a photo taken by me every day" until we reach the goal of 100, 1000. 💪🤠⚡🍊

I love tropicals! My favorites are alocasias and cebu blue pothos! When I learned how to propagate the whole game changed. Plants are therapy, happy growing!
reply
wow fantastic, thanks for sharing. Would you also be so kind as to give me some tips to learn more about how to grow? I appreciate it 🙇
reply
Hell yeah!
Propagation:
One of my favorite propagation methods is using propagation boxes. This girl on YT Harli G has tons of game on how to grow cuttings.
She uses sphagnum moss and clear plastic tote containers to get her plants started. I’ve used this method for a while and it really works well.
Sphagnum moss is better than using soil because it helps raise humidity and has a lot of nutrients to promote root growth. It also cuts down on issues like mold.
I’ve used it for pothos, begonias, syngoniums, and alocasias.
Resources:
I mentioned Harli G, but there’s a lot of other great YT creators that break down individual plants types and what methods work best. Usually, I just search the name and watch a couple different videos so I can learn best practices and what works for me.
*Quick tip, if you don’t know what type of plant you have, you can use google lens in the Google app to help you identify the plant. Sometimes it may not give you the exact subspecies, but a lot of times it gets you close enough most of the time. If you think it’s misidentified the plant trading photos from different angles and cross check your results.
Where to get your plants:
My favorite place to go is always going to be a nursery just because they are usually super zen. Go with a budget in mind though because things can get out of hand quickly🤣
Other places to check:
Facebook for local plant trade/swaps. Suprisingly, I learned Etsy has a lot of sellers as well.
Rarer plants are harder to take care of and usually grow at a slower rate. Don’t rush them.
Care tips:
Soil matters! Once you know what plant you have, look into what types of substrates they naturally grow in. Tropicals like pothos are good in chunkier soil and plants like begonias need a lighter mix because their roots aren’t strong enough to push heavier/thicker (like clay) substrates out of the way. Don’t hesitate to spend more on soil it’s worth it.
Prune often! Plants love a fresh cut. When you are taking cuttings, it signals to the roots that it’s time to grow more, this can help make your plants thicker/fuller.
If I see a lead is getting sick/starting to brown I usually just cut the leaf off. This helps prevent spread of disease, promotes that new growth, and keeps your plant from expending energy to a leaf that’s on its way out. It doesn’t hurt the plant.
Rotate! If you see your plant starting to lean/or all the leaves are going in one direction, rotate the plant so that the other side can get more sunlight. This will help you prevent runners (long stems with little to no leaves) and help keep your plants growing nice and even!
Talk to em! For your health and theirs it’s good to let your plants know how much you love them and they usually don’t mind if you tell them all your problems. Every breath you take is a breath for your plants.
I attached a link to Harli G’s YT page below! I hope some of these tips help!

“you lost your cowboy hat After 4 days, your hat was stolen by a mischievous prairie dog. You won't catch the dog, but you can always find another”
Seeing as I presumably have lost my hat here in this saloon like many before me, I just wonder when someone is going to close the door so wildlife can’t get in.
I’m bummed. Surely management has received many reports of these burrowing raiders pillaging their patrons. I need a cold one.
reply
Management sells the hats, so there's a bit of a moral hazard at work here.
A conspiracy theorist might even accuse them of training those prairie dogs.
reply
This is a plausible theory, do tread carefully!

@ek Are you able to read articles and figure it out already? I guess using an ai detector will help, but I need to figure out how to do it myself. I cant depend on a program forever.

Civilian

Although the official narrative of the title “civilian” means a person not in the armed services, or a “non-combatant”, or “private citizen”, the true nature of this title dates back over 2000 years.
Before people were referred to as “civilians”, they were called “plebeians” within Ancient Roman society, who were a group of lower class commoners, under the rule and control of the upper class called Patricians.
These Patricians ruled over the Plebeians using a bureaucratic system of “law” which over time became Civil Procedure Code, or “law”, which is controlled today by the BAR association.
Therefore anyone within the jurisdiction of this society was under the authority of “civil law”, and became a “Civilian”.
reply
Excellent note... IMO in conclusion they only changed our terminology. We went from calling ourselves "plebeians" to now being called "civilians"

Incredible India (Day 5)

India in 14 Minutes (4k Video)
India's unity in diversity extends beyond its people, languages, religions, and customs to encompass its diverse geography. The Himalayas guard the north, separating India from Tibet and China. Ranges like the Karakoram, Vindhya, Satpura, and Aravali define various regions. Indo-Gangetic Plains contrast with the Thar Desert in the west. Plateaus such as Malwa, Deccan, and Chota Nagpur form the Central Highlands. Coastal areas and islands like Lakshadweep and Andaman signify India's peninsular identity.
