Yeah, I would put it outside but it’s currently too cold out. Thanks for the tips! So should Schefflera be allowed to dry out or should there always be moisture? I usually let the top inch dry out before I water.
Thanks for the help guys! After I made my original post I realized that my dwarf Schefflera was dropping leaves too. So Ive pretty much decided that it’s either the heat, the mites, or a combination of both. That’s the only things the 2 plants have in common since they’re both in pretty much the...
Thank you. I’ve had it for 2 years and haven’t changed anything other than letting it dry out. Like I said above it has the mites but I’ve pretty much gotten rid of those. I’ve been talking with people and they think it could have been caused from being in front of the heating vent in the house...
So one of the stems that turned black at the base fell off, and it was all dried out with no sap going to it. Could this be from me forgetting to water it?
Hello everyone! I have a Schefflera actinophylla that’s been struggling lately lol. I’ve been searching through plant forums but since dwarf umbrellas are more popular it’s harder to find an answer, so I thought I would turn back to this forum for some help. I know it’s been ages since I’ve...
It was definitely the pothos causing the nitrites. It started turning yellow and looks kind of pitiful now. So I think my conclusion is that they can take salinity up to 1.008 s/g but anymore than that and it's a slow release of nitrites and then it dies.
I know that brackish water has to be monitored closely until you get a system in place though, and that you can't keep adding the same amount of salt and water each time because the specific gravity will start to raise.
That's what I've heard. I still have some more things to buy before I start setting up the tank. I'm goin to get a hydrometer and water conditioner tomorrow, and I feel like there was something else that I just can't remember right now lol.
That's why I decided not to get a chameleon, I'm only fifteen and don't have the money if it gets sick. You getting a job so that you could take him to the vet shows your dedication though. Like Jannb said, I would guess around eight months. Definitely make sure to try and keep the health...
The experiment has begun! Finally got my marine salt, nano marimo algae, and other supplies, so now I'm getting the pothos used to growing in water again since I had it potted. Once it gets adjusted and the marimo balls settle in, I'm going to slowly add some of the marine salt in over a span of...
I haven't found any info about it on the internet. I'll set up a separate half gallon fish bowl with brackish water and test it out I guess! I'll let you know what happens. Pothos is a pretty hardy plant.
It's been awhile since I've posted on here, but I received an ecosphere fo Christmas. I'm moving them to a 1 gallon tank since ecospheres are pretty much a death sentence for the little guys. My question is, do you guys think a pothos could grow in brackish water with only its roots in the water?
I just took the pictures with my phone through the lens. I'm not sure what kind of microscope it is since we got it from a homeschool magazine a couple years ago.
