Experimental small garden in Barcelona. 200 + plants and 4 cats
DRONE FOOTAGE HAWAII - Big Island, Maui and Kauai
We took a DJI Mini 2 in our trip to Hawaii. It was the first time using a drone, and despite some small problems and charging issues (a campervan is not the best way to recharge electronics overnight), we had a thrilling experience with the drone.
After getting used to the app B4UFLY from FAA and getting to know the places that you can use the drone or not, we realized Oahu is not the best island to fly, due to so many restrictions.
We visited 4 islands in 3 weeks. Oahu, Big Island, Maui and Kauai, but didn't use the drone in Oahu.

Our experience growing caladiums from tubers
Переглядів 4424 роки тому
This is our collection of Caladiums, also called Tinhorão in Brazil, where they come from and where every grandmother grows them. We can't deny the anxiety generated by this long and painful process of waiting for the tubers to grow. We went through a mix of deceptions (fungus gnats attacked them) and surprise (they are so gorgeous!), and these guys are definitely here to stay. We hope they wil...
Repotting our huge staghorn fern (Platycerium bifurcatum) in a basket
Переглядів 61 тис.4 роки тому
This is what we were afraid of: the day we had to move this plant from its original pot. It was growing so beautifully for the last 6 monts, but in the end this staghorn fern just got too large and started to complain and give us some signs. Not only it was growing a basal frond "ball" on top of the soil but also it got scales and needed to be treated. For summer we want to keep it outdoors so ...
Repotting an Alocasia Cuprea
Переглядів 3,8 тис.4 роки тому
This plant was one object of desire for our collection due to its texture and shape. As we received, we realized the potting mix was too light and the plant would dry too fast. We decided to repot it using a mix of bark, activated charcoal, perlite, coconut fiber and humus compost.
