Did a water change finally. I should be doing it every week…
Pruned the rotala hedge down like I said. It’s such a pain catching all the pruned debris with a net. Don’t want any of it rotting in there. Also took some of the pruned stems and planted them at the left side. Trying to extend the group over towards the side, so I removed some java fern and amazon sword leaves to prevent heavy shading in that area.
I may have accidentally disturbed the substrate, pulling both humus out and possibly two substrate tablets (humus is brown, but some white dust came out and I made sure once it started coming out, to pull as much of it out as I could before it leached into the water column.) It’s not an easy task avoiding the tablets…

July 11, 2020 I am taking today off, trying to reset my mental health and remain calm before another week of hard work. I’ll be reading, tidying my room, planning, and spending plenty of time with my family. How do you keep anxieties at bay amidst stressful times?

About a month after introducing the bromeliads, and one’s already responded to the light by turning lighter in color.
I gave the front glass a cleaning inside. It’s surprising how dirty the glass gets even with deionized water somehow? Like it’s bacteria or something else growing on it.
I water the bromeliads about once a week, maybe less. I just make sure the cups are filled a bit, but other than that they’re low maintenance.

My little one happened upon some nightshade growing near our garden beds yesterday! We made sure to look up whether or not it was a poisonous plant before messing with it and found out its Black Nightshade and not poisonous. So we’ll be hopefully transplanting it to a better spot where its less likely to be trampled.
Still debating if it was worth all the mosquito bites to get the pictures 😂
3an easy guide to know your plants.
- rootless plants with stem and leaves : aquatics, algae // terrestrial, moss.
- plants with root, stem and leaves: without seeds: ferns // with seeds: there are the ones with fruit, they have flowers. The ones without fruit don’t grow flowers.
How to identify conifers:
- no apparent leaves and green stems: ephedra
- plants with leaves:
- with leaves similar to that of palm trees: cicas
- wide fan-shaped leaves: ginkgo
- narrow, scale-shaped leaves with a woody trunk, and cones with less than 14 scales: cypresses and arizónicas
- narrow, scale-shaped leaves with a fleshy trunk, and cones with 15 to 40 scales: sequoia
- woody trunk with leaves scattered on the branches: firs
- woody trunk with leaves in groups: groups of 2; pines // groups of more than 5, cedars.
- fleshy trunks and pricking leaves: junipers
- fleshy trunk and leaves that do not prick: yew
