I am glad you enjoyed it - I definitely prefer more relaxed reviews as well.

That would work really well, until it caught on fire.

That is really cool. I have seen some massive Aloe plants (~five feet tall, 10 feet across) in Bermuda, but I have never seen a massive monstera, philodendron, etc in the wild. I hope I get to soon. They make me happy when they are happy.

I am all for other options to keep the projector cool and extend the bulb life, but for liquid cooling you would need loud fans outside the enclosure, which may defeat the purpose. And if the fans were quiet, then the cooling would cost several times more than the projector.

It was VERY different from the dense deciduous forests I am used to, but we drove about 150 miles (241 km) north of the artic circle, so it makes sense. Also, those shrubby things are technically "trees" - a type of willow I believe.

I hope it is helpful. Good luck with your pothos growing!

Thanks for the feedback - it is good to hear that other people have had success with this. Do you ever have issues with mold on the plants inside the bag?

Hey. I am not sure I understand your comment. Can you explain a bit more?

That is an interesting question. I could see some advantages that 3D printing would have: You could get a more solid and continuous structure without thin/weak points that sound can get through, you could match the geometry to the curve of the projector for a good seal, and you could also produce several variations without major extra effort to see what works best. With typical 3D printers, the struggle would to get fibers/structures small enough to get the absorption you would need - I think you would still have to put in foam, fiberglass, mineral wool, or something similar. Let me know if you try it!

I want to go up there next when there is nothing but golden (beech) leaves.

I may not fully understand your question, but I recorded the timelapse with a gopro (I think I used one frame per second and probably sped it up more in my editing software). I added the music separately afterwards.

@teatimewithja oh ok I'll try that

I am glad I could help. Honestly, it is not something I have thought about before, because I am only finicky with my expensive outdoor gear care. For the rest of my clothes, I have never noticed any damage or residue after using the same dryer, but it probably is a good idea to not leave puddles and let it mostly air dry before using the dryer.

I have never tried leca before, but I would like to. Do you pot all your houseplants with it, or only your Monsteras?

@@teatimewithja I use it in lots of different situations. I like it as a drainage layer with pon in clear vases

That is great. I will have to try leca some day.

Thankfully, most of the roots were still in good shape and I only had to remove the bottom several inches that had been sitting in water. If most of the roots are rotted it would be harder to save the plant and I might end up chopping and propagating the healthy portions of the plant. What types of plants have you seen root rot on?

@@teatimewithja oh a very big green lily and Pothos.Repottet in in a much to large pott with soil which was too dense. Plus, i am the type who loves watering her plants. The green liliy did not make it and I loved her. But i also did not know you can cut the roots... Now Im mixing my potting soil with large amounts of perlite and sometimes bark, so they dont drown if i water too early! BTW that monstera is beautiful. Thatoffice is basically a greenhouse 🙂

@@KarMa-ws3ll I enjoy watering my plants as well. Very relaxing. So I also try to mix up a well draining soil every time. Thank you! I have been growing the Monstera for about six years. My coworkers think I am just providing nice office plants for them, but I am really just using the office as a greenhouse for plants that don't fit in my house. With 9-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, it is perfect.

I am 6'1" (~185.4 cm)

I actually just gave the plant another hair cut a few weeks ago - it just keeps on growing. I have heard of people successfully rooting the small plants directly in soil, but the few times I tried it they ended up drying out and dying. Probably, like you said, if you kept the soil moist, it might work fine. If you could leave the runner attached to the mother plant while rooting in soil that would increase the odds of success. But I have always preferred rooting in water because I can see what is happening (root grown, root rot) underwater, and they don't dry out. Good luck with the propagation.

I am glad it was useful. Are you doing some propagation?

@@teatimewithja ya, actually I have more than 20 pothos & syngonium plants in my place ☺️

I have a lot of plants, but no where near that many pothos! That must be a really nice house to hang out in with all the green.

I really like this run (or others starting from the same place) because the first few miles are gradual and allow me to warm up slowly. This was just one ridge east of the AT so it is very similar. Have you been running up in the Pemi wilderneass?

Thanks. it is an awesome place. So, we used Caltopo to map out routes and look at how steep passes were, as well as reading trip reports from others in the same area. From Caltopo, you can select the area and scale you want, and get it printed through Mountyn on waterproof paper. That worked really well, because we got exactly what we wanted, but I do think the lead time on Mountyn printing is kind of long.

I am talking quietly, but wispering would be even quieter. I would like to say something about working with plants being calming and peaceful (which is true), but it is probably moreso because I was really close to the mic.

I love the simplicity and routine.

It was amazing. I want to go back.

You are right! I forgot to talk about those. I am pretty sure I used a 1.8 mm cord off Amazon. I will post the link below. Mostly, this worked really well. I did have some of my taut line hitches slip one really windy night, but usually it held great. And I do think it is a good idea to use them to minimize the flapping of the large thin walls. @adventuresandreams

@@teatimewithja Thank you for your reply! You filmed this 8 months ago. Have you used the tent since? Do you still like it, and do you have any additional things that you learned since that you can share? I'm so excited to use this for the first time :) I'll check out the cord that you linked below, but will likely head to REI later today to get some anyway.

@@teatimewithja That's a really good price. I'll compare it with a few others, but you can't really go wrong with this. Thank you.

Now that I think about it, I have not used the tent since then. I have some others that are better for car camping or for two people. BUT, I am headed to Norway later this summer and will be using the MID1 for a few weeks of hiking. I did talk to someone else who used it in Alaska a month ago - they had a few minor issues: 1) The inside corner of the bathtub/floor did not align with a stake out point so the corner did not hold the floor shape perfectly tight (it did not cause me any issues). 2) The mid-door stake out cord needs to be longer (I added several feet of cord myself). 3) Their woman's black diamond trekking pole was not quite long enough for a perfect set up even with the included extender (My REI Flash Carbon poles where more than long enough without the included extender).

Cheap, light, and most importantly, available. This was a bit of an emergency repot. I prefer unglazed terra cotta when I can. What is your favorite type of plant pot for a fiddle leaf fig?

@@teatimewithja I've just bought a lovely green pot for mine. Sadly half-destroyed the plant while repotting it though. D'oh!

It is HARD to transplant large plants, especially by yourself. I just transplanted my Monstera and the empty (green) pot alone probably weighed 50 lbs (~23 kg). Don't beat yourself up about it though. How is the plan recovery going now?

Those beeches (and beaches) were so beautiful, especially on a foggy rainy day.

I appreciate it. It was a mentally and physically challenging trip, but also really fun.

It was a LONG day, but since the sun did not set until maybe 1 am, we had plenty of light to get home. Such a beautiful area. When were you in the area?

​@@teatimewithjaJune. I live north of Anchorage

That is such an amazing idea! Thank you for sharing. I may have to try that this summer when I leave town for several weeks again.

The Cloudrock Waterproof from On are advertised as waterproof boots, and they were close to new. I learned very quickly that the permafrost in northern Alaska maintain a LOT of surface water that is unavoidable. Add to that many days of rain plus multiple knee-high river crossings, "waterproof" did not do much good, other than keeping my boots from drying quickly..

I am willing to sacrifice a lot of food perfection for efficiency, like cracking my eggs directly into the pan for scrambling, but I usually don't add cashews to my lunchs, because soggy cashews are nasty.

Gates of the Artic is such a gorgeous place. I hardly had to think about where I pointed the camera.

Wow. That is a big cactus. Do you know what type it is? For repotting, the only thing I can say is I hope you have a few friends who are willing to bleed for you. But more seriously, if you have to repot it yourself, I don't have any experience with that big of a cactus, but I have considered a few options if I ever do: One idea I had was to rig up a frame (maybe 2x4 boards) and use a bunch of straps to slowly lift the plant out of the pot without having to lay it down. Another options I have considered is to place the old pot inside the new pot and then (gently) break or cut the smaller pot and remove it in pieces. Good luck - let me know what you end up doing. @mariamask5521

Thanks. I am not completely sure what type it is, but my best guess is a candelabra cactus (Euphorbia ingens), which may not even be a proper cactus. Perhaps someone with more cactus knowledge can set us straight.

I hope you enjoy it. I loved how easily it packed inside my 55 L backpack - which is something I did not mention. I am using a pretty wide angle lens though, so don't be surprised with how cozy it is inside.

Who wants to see my dead plants? (I actually do have a video planned about learning from all the plants I have killed). But seriously, I think it is mostly because I pay attention to what makes them happy, which is vital in any relationship.

That seems like a good idea. The water based seam seal liquid was not especially sticky or glue-like, but if the seam seal tape is in good shape I think re-attachment could help. My old tape was pretty beat up. Maybe I should get some new seam seal tape and add that instead.

I always like to share the outcomes of my plant efforts - it keeps me honest about what works and what does not. Are you working on propagating a Fiddle Leaf Fig?

Truly amazing. I want to go back eventually.

I plan on using this tent again as soon as this summer, maybe even sooner. They are still for sale at Hyperlite Mountain Gear, but I know they are quite expensive.

I don't actually know - this is my first time using a moss pole. I am doing a timelapse of the growth, so check back in maybe a year and we will find out.

Update: The plant is now more than a foot above the pole - I need to start thinking about an extension to the pole. Then an extension to my ceiling.

The cactus is doing really well! There is a lot of new growth and it is growing a lot straighter. I think the well-drained soil and infrequent watering, plus all the good sun, is working out well.

I used to wear converse a LONG time ago, but if you are looking at the other shoes on the shelf, those are actually Clarks.

@@teatimewithja oh?

@@teatimewithja I just saw the fire and I'm like, don't even think about it. Because the chances are you might accidentally burn the shoes and burning rubber is actually illegal

Ha. It is definitely a risk. But after a week of wet feet, you can get a little desperate. I strong recommend keeping a close eye (and hand) on shoes near an open fire. @conversechryslerqueen

@@teatimewithja well, I'm not doing this. I can clean converse well without the fire and just shampoo and water

Thank you. I love days where there is nothing to do but walk, especially in a place like this.

That sounds like a great gift. I love free plants. I have had the best success propagating snake plants in water, but you can also propagate them in soil. I had a hard time keeping the moisture high enough during soil propagation. With either method, be ready to wait a LONG time for new plants to grow from the leaf cuttings. Good luck! Let me know if you have any more specific questions, but I also have a video about snake plant propagation if you are interested, and I briefly show the soil propagation towards the end: ua-cam.com/video/AYHdinvztig/v-deo.html

I am afraid I don't understand your comment. Can you explain? @jackmorningstar24
