Very sick Lipstick Vine... please help me revive!
Comments (9)MG potting soil is fine, but other mediums should added. I mix soils and non-soil-less mixes together. For my 2 Lipsticks, the soil consist of Miracle Gro, a handful of house plant soil, coarse sand, handful of peat, and Perlite. They hang in a west window, in the bathroom. Can't use a humidity tray when plants hang so 4 showers per day and daily misting increases humidity, (lipsticks need humidity) Lyssa, as long as your container has drainage holes, soil is well-draining, and watering isn't done too often, (daily, like some ppl tend to do,) there's no reason to worry about overwatering. To be honest, my lipsticks are watered when soil dries, but if you wait too long, they wilt or drop. Overwatering causes wilt and felled leaves too, so the best thing is to familiarize watering habits. Aside from using sand and perlite, both lipsticks are rootbound, so chances of overwatering are next to nil. If you worry about overwatering, use smaller pots. Lipsticks are more likely to bloom when roots are snuggly. Your lipstick will thrive in an east window, but lessens chance of flowering and sturdy foliage. Unless your plant is right against the pane and/or getting additional artificial light. Consider obsturctions like curtains, blinds and trees... Lipsticks are early bloomers..Once you see growth, start fertilizing. I alternate by using an All Purpose fert, then, the following month, Flowering fert. Herbs are difficult..they need fresh air and a good amount of sunlight, there's no comparison. If you've just started growing plants, don't count herbs. Since your leaves were soft brown, the soil wasn't being kept too dry. It's a good idea to check for insects. I'm not saying that's the problem, but one never knows unless they inspect plants regularly. Do you know what to look for? So far, saturating soil and removing dead foliage is a good start. Periodic spraying in sink or shower, or if you're into misting, helps with humidity, especially if the air in your house is dry. Good luck..Toni...See Moreplease help very sick kio
Comments (19)Night Hawk is so happy in his new home. i have him inside the laudry room, very dark and quite. Inside the preformed pond. I filled it up last night and ran the pump in it all night. Mike, i just knew you would say that would better, so i got it ready while you slept :) and then when i got online.. yes, i did the right thing. But i just now moved him so it ran for over 6 hours.. :) When i put Night Hawk in the pond he swam all around and when i put the net over the top he was sitting on the ledge right way up. YEAH.. i think his might be ok. Thank you Erie for trying to help also. It was a storage plastic tub that Night Hawk was in. but i was real worried when i saw Mike say that i should change the watter so frequently. I thought this might stress Night Hawk out even more. should i put some stress eze stuff in the pond with him?? i put in the salt and kio clay ( i don't know if the clay helps but i thought it might). Mike, i will get the specs on the pump for you. About the water fall; it is 8-10 ft from the bottom of the pond to the top of the water fall (if you measure straight up in the air) the legnth of the watter fall is 12-13 ft. and it is 2 ft wide. the pump just sits on the bottom, we don't have a skimmer. we keep the filter pads in the watter fall box thingey .. i don't know the proper name off the top of my head. we have 4 diffrent color pads in there. ( we are using the same system now on the other pond, but with a much smaller pump) we don't want the watter to run to hard down it due to the splashing and watter loss. i reall need to rework the entire thing. the pond my fish are in now is 4 ft deep 3 foot across (short way) and 5 ft across the long way. There is 9 kio, 3 commets, 6 shubukin, in the pond now. When i got the fish the idea was to have the 3 commets in the preformed pond 55 gallon, the koi were going to be in the large pond with the water fall and the shubukin in the deep pond. the bigest fish is a butterfly kio about 8 inches long tail and all. When we had the problem with the large pond i realized we were going to have problems with the freezing weather. i thought maybe i would bring them in for the winter but i realized that the cold and hybernation state is good for the fish. so to the deep pond they all went for the winter. it is suppose to be below 32 for the next few nights, and i don't have the pump for the big pond yet; but even then i'm worried to move them and have the watter freeze.. To fix the big pond i thought rather than take apart the liner that is sealed to the water fall liner and dig a deeper hole that i would be better to bring in the sand and raise the ground level to be even with the ground where the water fall ends. I have a bunch of extra liner on the side of the pond folded up under the rocks. The cat fish that my husband put in the big pond is no longer living there , we took him to the spring house and put him in the pond there. Before you mentioned that other fish will help him, should i bring in one of the small kio or commetts to stay with Night Hawk? i will get the specs on the pump filter system and let you know asap.. lori...See MoreCooking for a very sick cat?
Comments (50)noinwi, thanks. I couldn't sleep Saturday night. I did feel little feet walking across the bed as well as hearing the sweet sounds of kitty talk when the house was quite. I don't know if I believe in visits by those who have passed, but my mind was certainly on Peter. gssh, I am so sorry about your cat as well as the heartbreak and pain you went through. Yes, our time was precious, I hope yours was, too. Sally, thank you. I appreciate every word of advice, and I tried just about everything. I must say the chicken wings and sauteed liver were mouthwatering to my dog, lol. Judy...See MoreHelp - my cat was in a fight and is now sick???
Comments (7)Well, we're baack! He's ok. Turns out he was also bit on his haunch (hip). But neither bite was infected and no fever, so happy about that. Was real concerned this A.M. cuz when I picked him up, he screamed as tho his tummy hurt. So thought he had internal damage. But that was just bruising from hip bite hurting. Vet said even picking up under his arms can hurt his hip since their skin is different than ours...so it pulls on hurt area. Calliope, u were right about the pain putting him off his food. At least that's what vet thinks. She gave him both an antibiotic and pain shot since didn't wanna give him pain pills on upset tummy. And I'm to call her tomorrow with update. He's still not himself but he's contentedly asleep in a basket I put in bathroom. So thanks again for all y'alls help. Bonnie...See Morecat_mom
