Oh This Has GOT To Be Tumblrs Worst Idea Yet

I recently bought three air plants. I don’t know what they are though! How often and how long should I be soaking them? I feel like since I’ve bought them they haven’t really changed at all.

hey! most air plants (with some variation) are cool with a 5-20 minute soak once every week or two. these are vague numbers on purpose because 1. they’re hardy and can tolerate almost anything you throw at them and 2. there are some variations with every individual plant, its temp/light/humidity situation, etc.

you’re not really gonna see much of a change since when you bought them. most wholesalers send out plants when they’re at a stable and mature-ish state. (most) tillandsia flower once and then put out pups (baby plants that are clones of the mother plant). some species will let you know as they approach flowering stage by changing color from the apex(growing center part) to the leaf tips, usually a reddish pink. but other than that, your air plant is pretty set in its final form!

occasionally if your plant looks like it needs it or if it’s been a while(weeks-months) you can heavily dilute some regular liquid plant fertilizer and mist it on or add it to the soak bath. there’s plenty of info online about this if you google air plant feeding. that’s about it! good luck with your plants!

(ps: I get a lotta questions about air plants! I don’t mind answering them in the slightest, but if you want more info from my page you can search the tags #tillandsia or #airplants or #answer or #ask for similar stuff!)

A Brief Guide to the Celtic Languages

(This guide focuses on the insular Celtic language family)

There are two main branches of Insular Celtic: Brythonic (P-Celtic) and Goidelic/Gaelic (Q-Celtic).

Brythonic (P-Celtic)

The surviving Brythonic languages are Welsh (Cymraeg), Cornish (Kernewek) and Breton (Brezhoneg). They are spoken in Wales (Cymru), Cornwall (Kernow) and Brittany (Breizh) respectively. Brythonic languages were originally spoken throughout Great Britain, and there were attempts to revive some of them, such as Cumbric (Cumbraek), but they have been largely unsuccessful. The remnants of these now dead languages can be found in the sheep scoring systems of the north of England (I recommend researching the folk group Yan Tan Tether, particularly the song Old Molly Metcalfe).

Goidelic/Gaelic (Q-Celtic)

The modern Goidelic (sometimes called Gaelic) languages are Irish (Gaeilge), Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) and Manx (Gaelg/Gailck). They are spoken in Ireland (Éire), Scotland (Alba) and The Isle of Man (Mannin/Ellan Vannin). Scottish Gaelic is sometimes referred to as just "Gaelic", unlike Irish which is only ever called "Irish", never "Gaelic" or "Irish Gaelic". Note that Alba is three syllables (a-luh-puh). Manx is somewhat unique amongst the Goidelic languages in that it's spelling is heavily anglicised. Scottish Gaelic is not to be confused with Scots, the Germanic language which is widely spoken throughout Scotland

For further information on the Celtic languages, I suggest Omniglot.com which shows comparisons between the six, including examples which show where the terms "Q-Celtic" and "P-Celtic" come from

kloktober day 13: playing music or cooking

Pickles started learning to bake to cozy up to Charles when he found out the guy has a sweet tooth, except it didn’t go so well at first. :O Charles, meanwhile, didn’t want to seem rude to his cute new client~

Yesterday I got lost again but found two abandoned treehouses right in the middle of the forest
