Plenty of sun, well-draining potting mix, go light on the water. They're succulents and will generally thrive on your neglect.

Yeah, does sound like over-watering. Definitely over-watered in the three days of rain, too! 😛 But it was a good move to isolate the plant before the bugs spread.

Make sure you sanitize whatever you use to cut plants, especially after cutting a plant that might be diseased. Clean with soap and water and then spray with bleach (or dip in bleach) for an easy option. Last thing you want is to spread a disease to your healthy plants during routine pruning!

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

Anyone have any advice or insight on interviewing for a GS General Attorney position? I’m really excited and working to prepare for an interview I’ve been offered.

Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

What house plants are NOT toxic to cats? I swear every time I go to buy a new plant and look it up it says “toxic to pets”. I have a dumb cane which I know is toxic but didn’t realize when I bought it so now I just keep it in the laundry room away from my cat when I’m at work but that means no daytime sunlight. Would like suggestions on which plants I can buy that are safe to leave alone with my cat 😸
