Golden Pothos cuttings dying
Comments (2)Morning, Marina, Some plants are as finicky as a cat. How long is the cutting?? Cut off the rotted part and into the green, under a node. Place cutting in fresh water. Or better yet, room-temp water. Perhaps your water is hard? Good luck, Toni...See MoreI thought pothos dont multi-branch....????
Comments (26)Well, you know me I could be wrong....lol. The Marble Queen is green/white, the jade is pure green, the golden is green/yellow flecks. Here are some pics from google, all the ones with the yellow are in my understanding the golden pothos. I have one pothos that is pure green, its my fav, its called a jade pothos. Hope this helped Tracy Here is a link that might be useful: google pics...See MoreGolden Pothos has fungus gnats
Comments (9)That's what the link on the word "here" is above, a search for "fungus gnats" in this forum. The one I suggested was recent, and had advice from you, Rhizo, near the top. Another vote for getting rid of peat, had no idea what Vigoro was. Since I've gotten rid of peat, even before catching on to the 'more chunky soil' thing, so many fewer plants have died, and now it's extremely rare at all with the chunky soil. Stocking back up over the past few years on so many that I'd killed before and finally they look great although I still can't stop adding more water to plants that don't really need it yet, at least while they're outside for summer and it's so easy and fun to do. Fungus gnats are extremely unlikely to find this type of soil a suitable environment for breeding. Not had issues with those since changing either....See MoreI LOVE my Golden ---- I'm about to kill him!
Comments (17)It is my understanding that the hearworm pill does act as a once a month dewormer for other kinds too. I think I read that on the back, but don't have it here. The idea was that the pill may have "primed" your dogs system to be sensitive or irritable and it is overactive. ( duh can't seem to put it into words.) and needs to be calmed down. If it is not a medical reason, then go back to square one with housetraining. I am betting on his tummy tho, dogs seem to get the idea to poop outside much faster than the concept of peeing outside. It is not pee too is it? Our dogs were crated usually for 8 hours a day with no ill effects as they were worked with and loved the rest of the time and slept in our bedroom. The vet and other resources said that it was fine,(her dog was crated that long) that dogs love their crates- and our do. It is far better for young or unreliable dogs to be safe and cozy in their crates than on their own and getting into danger. We have a yard and always took them outside to play and walked them etc when we got home. As soon as they were able to be trusted, we began letting them remain out for a few minutes alone, then gradually extended the time out. We then took the doors off the crates because they still enjoyed going in on their own. Don't forget to "babydog proof your house" include your kids rooms... Goldens will eat ANYTHING!! corncobs are deadly- be especially careful of your trash. and pill bottles :( and pumice stones ( dont ask) and knee highs... We have put the crates away to make more room in my laundry room as they were no longer going in the crates this summer. We were converts to crating with Bailey and then Cooper, and they are far better trained and happier and loving than the dogs we didn't crate years ago- no bad habits or behavior problems.It is all in how you handle it and consistency in training. They do go through adolescence and that is why training is so important especially through those years, if they are well trained early, then you can draw on that for their trying teen years( yeah they even whine like kids! but at least they don't want the car) You have a great attitude and you will be fine! btw if you have a petsmart near you they offer good training classes inexpensively. The trainer we had also volunteered to train the primates at the zoo. She had her own non animal related business but did the training on the side- her degree was in animal behavior! Look into clicker training - it is a lot of fun and very effective training tool. Sue HTH Sue...See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
