Probably even worse than MLP, but it is more wildly accepted so people assume it is less degenerate, but that is a fallacy
pets are awesome, but keeping them in a small apartment is cruel ... so, no pets for me
+ Respect
I grew up with cats, dogs, horsies, cows and all other sorts of farm animals
Mostly cats and doggos though
I grew up with daddies cummies
💦
explains why youre a remainer
I love them, I enjoy playing with them and I know how to care for them
But
I know that right now I would not be a good owner because I would not provide the attention and care they need
So I don't
Pets need responsibility
then there are people like this
.. that too, and I have managed kill/dry the only two potted plants that I had ... both were cacti
Plants are easy
I just own plants that can tolerate drought and flooding
Cacti are relatively delicate
Ficus that is grafted onto a bulbous tree (for example an african bottle tree) will tolerate up to 2 months of no water
And the roots of that tree also tolerate soaking wet conditions without suffocating or rotting too
@tereško Ultimately you can buy a drip-feed watering setup that will keep providing water at fixed intervals and you only need to change out bottles once a few months
DIY wick feed
Needs a bit of trial and error though
This one comes with a regulator
I will have to look up something like that, because right after newyears I am moving in a new apartment and I want some potted plants there
In my experience one 2L bottle for a small-medium plant lasts 2-3 months
Oh and you want a bottle that is not transparent
Because algae can grow in a transparent one
naah, I don't need a getto solution, since at this point I can actually afford paying for stuff
Electronic ones are easier to set up
... and I need something that would start beeping if I ave for gotten to refill it for a month
You only need one for several plants
unfortunately that solution doesn't really work well over larger distances
You can buy one that connects to the water main
those multi-plant options are for either crazy people of ones who grow flowers/weed professionally
Those things though, have a 1% chance to flood your house/flat
1% chance is actually quite a lot
Not necessarily for growers
People that have jobs where they are away at extended periods of times use those too
Well, less than 1%
Maybe 0.001%, but still I heard the stories where it happened
There are ways to make it work flawlessly: systems that work like toilet bowls are more reliable than those that connect to the pipe directly and use mains pressure
