Help..I don't know what to do with my gold fish plant.
Comments (44)Hi, Birdie. How long has it been since your last repot? One of the symptoms of tight roots is shedding of lower and interior foliage. If the internodes (distance between the leaves) are growing shorter, your plant needs a repot, but winter and early spring are poor times to consider repotting - especially for plants that are stressed and very low on energy reserves. Root congestion can promote blooming in some plants, but root congestion IS a stress, and as such limits growth and vitality to a degree that varies with the amount of congestion. I think the wise thing to do would be to get your plant healthy again, and THEN worry about blooming. Sound reasonable? When did you last fertilize? Often, plants starved for nutrients, particularly nitrogen, shed foliage after 'harvesting' mobile nutrients from older leaves so new leaves can grow. Culturally, you can treat your plant like most succulents. Letting it dry down completely IS a stress, so try to time it so you're watering just before soil is completely dry. Humidity is no problem for this plant. It's glossy leaves are very high in cuticular wax, which helps guard against low indoor humidity. I'm sorry, but I disagree that a fertilizer with a high middle number is a good choice for any containerized plant. There are no plants that use more P (the middle number) than either N or K (first and last numbers). The excess P adds unnecessarily to the level of salts in the soil and can actually contribute to leaf loss and deficiencies of other nutrients ...... particularly iron and manganese. That may be more information than you need, but others too, may be curious as to why high P fertilizers are not such a good choice for container plants. Best luck - let me know if there are any other questions you think I might help you with. Al...See MoreAnyone Heard of Hyponex fish brand plant food sticks?
Comments (3)Trust The Gorton's Fisherman hehe I'd be interested to see how it works. I find that fish fertilizer really only smells for a couple of hours at best. Then it has pretty much dissapated, but I've never tried feeding too many plants at once. I once found a fertilizer, made locally, called Oropoo which is primarily the sludge dredged from the bottom of the pools of a koi farm. I used to use the stuff I drained out of my fish aquarium to feed plants and they were georgeous. I need to set up another fish tank, because my plants have never looked so good since....See MoreFrozen fish sticks
Comments (20)Fish sticks. The 'hot dog' from the sea. What's in those things anyway? Fish heads and fins - all held together with salt and grease as glue. Oh how I remember having to force those things down every Friday when I was a kid. I could never understand the rule having to be punished by eating fish sticks on Fridays. Then when I was older I learned that the rule was to eat fish on Friday not fish sticks. My mother thought fish was too expensive to serve. I think fish sticks were a dollar for ten pounds back then. They stunk like fish but tasted like putting a penney in your mouth. They always had freezer burn. My mother only ever bought canned veggies so the fish sticks really brought out the metallic taste of the canned stuff served with them too, so the whole meal was ruined....See MoreWashing whites 120F vs. 140F vs. 150F vs. 160 vs. 195F :-O
Comments (15)@Jerrod....I have my Miele Little Giant washer programmed to Cold fill (actually, I even turned the hot water valve to OFF). So, my washer fills with tap cold and then gradually heats to the Temp I have set (Little Giant cycles are via exact temps...nothing says warm, cold, hot, etc...). So, I'm thinking I am getting optimal results in regards to temps working with enzymes and then ramping up to my "hot" set temp! I LOVE this washer more each day. In the past, after 6 months or a year with an appliance, I would be looking & cruising new models ;) But....I don't think I would ever want to be without my LiGi. I would sell it for an OctoPlus though. Just sayin' LOL...See More- 6 years ago
