Sooooo yesterday I promised/threatened I'd post a plant-review here everyday, which was meant as a joke, but hey, I'm not doing anything useful, so here we go! Plantreview#1! In today's review I'll be looking at the Hedra Helix! Also known as plain-old Ivy. You might think "Why review ivy? not exactly the most exciting plant in the world.." And you'd be right, they're not.. But that's exactly what makes them great! The beauty of the Hedra Helix is in the simplicity. But obviously tastes differ, so let me give you some real reasons to like ivy! The first reason to like ivy is Caring for them, mainly because they hardly require any care at all! The second reason to like ivy is that they don't require much space, just place them somewhere up h

Hi there! Random87/Dlawa/Johan here. Mister B told me to go here. Sooo I'm here. That's prettymuch it. I was an active basil person a little over a year ago, but I haven't been there for quite a while lately. Usually I'd come back every few weeks, just to see who was still around. Sooooo I'm hoping to see some familiar names here. Any of ye' piraty people left? :D #HelloIm Oh and I'm reading Under The Dome, (That's how I use the site right? :3) #reading #Books

I know this is mainly a Gaming related site, buuuuuuuuuuuuut games don't excite me as much as they used to anymore. What does excite me are my ficus cuttings that are starting to root :D Over a month ago I trimmed my way-to-big-to-fit-on-a-desk-ficus and put the trimmings in water. I never expected them to do anything, it took more than two weeks for them to do anything but now it seems I might actually have 6 more baby ficusses to take care of. Yay Plants! #Plants

Operation Baby Ficus has successfully reached stage 23! (I think) I have managed to transfer my Ficus cutting from a glass of water to a tiny pot, in which it will spend the next few weeks. The roots were becoming to big to fit in the glass, and I was afraid they might break if I left them in the glass much longer. I hope I haven't damaged the roots to much in the process, since they are extremely fragile. I'm not sure if Baby Ficus will stay alive in soil, so I'll wait and see how this one copes. If he survives the next two weeks I'll consider this a success, and then I'll transfer the other 7 to soil as well. #Plants #BabyFicus

Third and (probably) final BabyFicus Update! Close to three months ago I resized my fairly large Ficus-like-plant and put some of the cuttings in water. All of them survived and started growing roots. I bought a bunch of cheap pots and potted them yesterday. Since I never dared hope all of the cuttings would take root I now have an unexpected problem, mainly: what the hell am I going to do with so many plants? Luckily my sister visited me a week after the start of the experiment and told me that: "It's never going to work, but if it does I want one" I'll probably select two or three of the most promising plants and put them together for my sister, since just one stem doesn't look like much. Maybe I'll keep a few myself and replace their pro

Hello there BZLers good to see some of you are still around! Having not been here for some time I feel like it's time for my yearly BZL update. I think only the captain remembers me, but it doesn't matter much, I think I'm mainly writing this update for myself. Still living. Still loving plants. Steadily getting older. Feeling slightly wiser. Still learning to accept myself. Still stressing myself out over minor things. Still loving my motorcycle. Steadily trying more new things every year. Getting back into reading, reading more books with some kind of philosophical moral to them than I did before. Starting to enjoy a lot of activities I previously deemed to be for old people, like taking a language-course and discussing books. I'd love to

BabyFicus update 4! I potted my smallest Babyficus in a bit-to-large-for-it's-size pot, and it looks adorable. The story behind this Babyficus is a bit different than the other Babyficus. The other cuttings were all fairly large branches, but this one was an experiment to see if a cutting just 5 cm tall would also develop roots. And it did! a lot better and quicker than the larger branches actually! I try to take a picture of it once in a while because it grows so fast! it has doubled in size/amount of leaves in just a few weeks! #BabyFicus#YayPlants

Aquarium update #1 Buying thingies for my aquarium! My boss who gave me the aquarium made me a list of things I still need anndddd boy, It's quite the list :O I'm trying order most of the hardware online, since it's cheaper, and I'll go to an outrageously expensive aquarium store later this week to buy the pretty looking stuff like plants and a bunch of rocks since I'd like to see if they are actually pretty before I buy them. My boss put my filter in his aquarium, and he'll give me some of his water too, to sort of kickstart the aquarium, so I wont have to spend such a long time looking at an empty box of water. Pretty excited!

I've been taking pictures of my plants every now and then to see them grow, but even though I thought I took the pictures pretty consistently, It turns out my timing is pretty random, and the angles are all over the place :O The pictures are still pretty interesting, but they're not really what I was aiming for. So now I'm planning to just focus on one plant, my smallest, which has the most growing potential, and is probably the easiest to take pictures of. All I've got to do now is make some sort of rig for my phone, and I'll be set! #YayPlants
