I’ve only read the first two so far but they’re so good. And the length is perfect for reading in between larger novels too. How have the later ones held up so far?

Yeah I am not a fan either. I did find that if you filter out YA in general that gets rid of a huge portion of these romance masquerading as fantasy novels. It seems to be super prevalent there. But now YA is bleeding into adult fantasy as well and for that I end up having to read reviews to see if anyone specifically mentioned it.

Interestingly I’d say Elden Ring is the most forgiving when it came to the “death penalty” you mention compared to all the other titles. There were far more rest points and things were so much more interconnected so you can stroll through/around most of the enemies to get back to where you died. Not always but a lot of times.

Also I found that really using your summons (especially mimic!) really helped with the difficulty. Also using magic makes life way easier. A lot of people just tend to go for the pure melee build which is making life really hard for yourself.

Honestly it really depends on how much sun they get/how hot it is. Which means it’s different in summer vs winter. Also very different for each species.

If you have thick fleshy succulents you can wait until they start to wrinkle a bit to water. Or you just go by dryness if soil and water when it’s quite dry throughout.

If you have more flatter leaf succulents it’s a bit harder to tell but they generally like more frequent watering because they store less of them in the leaves.

So yeah, no easy answer. Sorry.

Ahh I love frankenpothos arrangements! They look so cool! I’m still waiting for all mine to get large enough to get a bunch of cuttings before making it.

Looks like a Drosera Capensis! The fuzzy ends are sticky and trap the bugs and curls around them.

So pretty! Their leaves get so big and gorgeous. I love Ficus Elasticas so much I have 4 varieties hah.

I think it’s also impossible to know who actually did read a book and who didn’t. Hard to keep something like this both fair and open without strict moderation, and almost nobody wants to do that for free.

Looks like a Red Peace Lilly to me. Toxic to cats if you have them so be careful!

Beautiful! I love ferns but yes they seem to be very needy.

[–] Mickey@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

These look awesome! I have a lot of the same varieties as you. My bambino is also putting out a million leaves and I found 4 corms last time I repotted that all gave out roots so I guess I will be overrun with them even more soon.

Definitely looks similar to the images for them!
