Female, 34, from Indiana, USA. Currently driving a 2020 Honda Civic SI and I love it. My bro taught me to drive stick at 16 so that I'd never be in a situation where I needed to leave but couldn't because I didn't know how to drive manual. I've had both automatic and manual transmissions, manual being my favorite.

How much bitters did you put in the batch? I love bitters and would love to try this!

Beautiful! I just picked up a lithops from my local garden center about 2 months ago because I had no idea what it was and thought it was ugly (I kinda like ugly plants). Now I wish I had more!

Very cool! It looks like it was printed with those lines.

I love to hate it. It's like visiting an ugly museum, you want to see everything, but the more you see the worse it gets.

So handsome!

Hey hey! Always happy to see another Hoosier on here!!

Looks delicious! Now I'm sad we aren't smoking anything for the holiday. I hope it's as tasty as it looks!

I can't wait! We've been driving to East Chicago to catch the train just to avoid the buses.

They shouldn't hurt it.Mushrooms are growing because spores made it into your potting mix and the conditions are right. It has more to do with the soil vs the plant, but some say it can be beneficial to the plant. At the very least it shouldn't cause harm and you can remove the mushrooms if you don't like them. If you want any to get rid of them, repot into a new medium.

I do! How did you know?! Lol

Northwest Indiana and we say Pop.

Northwest Indiana, never heard of it. Sounds amazing though!

Love this! Might have to get one!

Did you end up saving this pine? I tend to not give up on plants which sometimes doesn't work out, but I'm curious what you decided to do!

Looks like Edema. Here is a good explanation of what is happening YouTube Video

Is it in a humid area with low air flow? Powdery Mildew is tough to get rid of and very easy to spread. You can try diluted hydrogen peroxide spray, neem oil, fungicide, etc but getting rid of Powdery Mildew is an uphill battle.

Thank you so much for starting this! Your picture made me to go my local garden center and pick one of these babies up! Love the look of it. Do you cut off some of the longer strings and replant into the pot to fill it out more? Or did that just naturally develop over time?

Also in the region! Nice to see other NWI'ers here!

Edit: I can't read. I read West, not East. Either way, Yay Indiana!
