  • The first one was 2 weeks outside of warranty, the second one we’re currently waiting on the manufacturer and their mechanic. It’s a whole thing but it’s looking like it might be a refund at this point since it’s taking so long for them to even come look at it.

    The first one wasn’t repaired because the part was back-ordered and by the time we repaired it it wouldve ended up costing the same as a new one.






  • I think this is a pretty neat idea! For some smaller pots I use a tray filled with water (linked below) for them to butt-chug and then I move them to an empty tray to dry before putting them back in their place

    4" plant pot to help with scale.

    I’ve seen others use their bathtub but I like the idea of not risking dirt/perlite/etc. clogging up the drains. Depending on your drain you could use a metal debris catcher thingy like I have in my laundry room sink (I found mine at the dollar store):




















  • Lol the wall is actually more dusky in person (like a muddy rust), my camera makes it look bright orange so I look like a crazy person.

    Care regime lately has just been to water when dry (so like every 7-14 days) and fertilize rarely (mostly because I forget). It actually doesn’t live where it is in the picture but hangs out right in my east facing sliding door so it gets lots of morning light. I keep it and most of my plants in a chunky mix (1 part orchid bark, 1 part perlite, 1 part potting soil), otherwise they take forever to dry out with the humidity here.

    It probably would be a lot bigger if I hadn’t swapped everything to semi hydro last year to try and be rid of fungus gnats (a strategy which actually did work, but I’m a lazy plant parent so they didn’t really thrive in that). It lived in water for quite a while re-rooting so it was just a sad and dying leaf a couple months ago. It’s made a huge comeback this summer, with another leaf on the way.
