These are beautiful plants. When you water them, how much water comes out from the bottom and how fast does it happen? Ensuring you have good drainage is key for all plants. This one is probably just in need of brighter light to keep its pretty colors. It may start to look kind of weird until next warm season. I had one and it didn't make it through the winter inside. Maybe a light will help.
I only have 1 southern facing window and I currently have my bed up against that wall. May try to rearrange that room to out my big elephant ear and alocacia there.
I keep most of my pants on a multi level shelf by a west facing window with lights. They do ok but would love to find a set up to keep them warmer and better lit.
no but it is possible that a stray got to it. it is outside.
The were solid (not mushy), light colored, and didn't have a rot smell at all. Same with the rhizomes. The pot does have drainage, but maybe not enough. I also think the soil may have been a bit compacted and it's possible that water stayed at the surface and never moved downwards
My zz plant was doing okay. Wasn't growing as quickly as other describe despite living outside in a shady but bright part of my deck in NC USA. Should be getting plenty light and is protected from rain. Then this morning I find it like this. Each stem has a soft brown spot at the base and has fallen over. I cut them off and put them in a glass jar of water until I know what to do with the cuttings. I quickly checked the roots and everything looks and smells normal so I put it back in the soil.
The soil is a cactus mix with extra perlite added for drainage. So what could have caused this sudden change? And what is the best way to propagete zz plant cuttings? I have 4 or 5 so I think I may experiment with water propagtion and perlite propagation.
Ahh I see. You aren't using the pots as true self watering pots, instead it sounds like you are using them for easy bottom watering. I have been trying to switch to bottom watering since it' supposed to encourage strong rootsgrown and my plants seem to refuse to grow strong root systems. Maybe I need to to use your strategy.
many plants don't do well with wet roots. self watering pots don't allow soil to dry out and can cause a variety of issues depending on the plant. I'm surprised to hear you have had luck with a succulent of all things since they don't need to be watered often.
Thank you! I'm excited to get started. Haven't had a lot a free time but the next few weeks look good!
NC. Going to go hunting for them this week. The extra hot weather must have boosted their ripening
Whoa. What region was this in. I dont think paw paws are ready where I'm at yet
ooo, I've never used leca before. Is it hard to keep clean? I have some of my pants in water with pebbles and when I replace the water and clean it out, the smooth surface of the pebbles makes cleaning the gunk pretty easy. The rough surface of leca seems like it would be hard to clean.
I think I understand why this is bad, but I am not confident in my technical understanding of the mechanics here. Will appreciate an explainer :)

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )
here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.
and also some github docs
I was excited to see this article written on the verge but then I read it. Seems like they are only interested in what the fediverse can do now that Threads is getting in and sticking their foot in the door. It's likely they needed Meta as a corporation to validate federation as something with real potential. We need to be highly critical about the entities who just see this as another way to make money off our data
