"Simon, come in."

Ghost isn't quite sure why Price had called him to his office. He's been downright docile this past while. Between his new bond with Hugo, his deepening relationship with Soap, and a mild injury to his shoulder, he's been spending most of his time parked on base whittling away the hours before the next mission.

He takes a seat in one of the Captain's mismatched chairs. Price takes a long drag of his cigar and Ghost tilts his chin, responding in kind.

"There's no easy way to say this son..." He pauses as if he's weighing his words. "I'm glad that you and Soap are getting close. And I support it I do this isn't about that."

He'd be a hypocrite if it was, Ghost thinks, and Nikolai would be inconsolable.

"Guess It's best to just to come out and say it..." Simon tilts his head in question.

"You can't buy sex toys on the company card."

If he'd been drinking anything it would be splattered up the inside of his mask.

"Fucking what??"

"I can see the receipts son and so can the MPO." His Captain's lips are pulled back in an uncomfortable grimace.

"I don't know what the fuck you're talking about cap." He leans back in his chair, arms crossed defiantly. All that shit was on his personal card.

"I'm not judging you or your decisions Simon I just can't justify it as a business expense."

"Can I at least see the receipt? Bit unfair not to show a man what he's accused of innit?"

Solemnly, Price shuffles through a stack of papers on his desk; holding out the printed off the email notification from the military post office when he finds it.

Simon takes the page with no small incredulity, scanning it over with a careful eye.

"Fuck my Pink Princess is here? That was a bitch to get through customs."

If possible, Price's face screws up more.

"I don't want details Simon, just your word that it won't happen again."

"Price it's a Philodendron."

"I'm shocked and appalled that you think I'd know what that is."

Ignoring the complaints of his scandalized Captain, Simon reaches for the small box on the desk, producing a knife to carefully slit the tape. All the while ignoring the increasingly vocal complaints coming from the other side of the desk.

"I don't want to see it son, it's none of my business what you get up to behind closed doors just- the fuck is that?"

"A Pink Princess Philodendron." Simon mutters as he examines the carefully packaged plant.

"...Simon thats a plant."

He grunts.

"Simon that was 150 quid."

He grunts again.

"Simon you used the company card for a £150 pink plant."

"Plus shipping."

"For fucking why??"

"It matches Hugo's coloring."

...

"Get out of my office."

#hes making a giant palaudarium in his room and of course hes going to go all out #we're talking bromeliads pothos pink lady #if it can grow in a tropical environment and has pink or red he has bought it #Ghost has a conplete and utter green thimb #he cant help it he's just goated with the plants #also Price cant talk after using the company card for shrimp #Blue Velvet is just as suspicious #reptile person soap #fish person gaz #cod mw2 #ghost x soap #simon ghost riley #ghostsoap #john price

I'm hoping someone else might find this interesting, because I still can't believe it and it brings me joy.

I want to preface this by saying I'm not very good with plants. They usually don't last long in my care.

I've had an orchid I've managed to keep alive since 2019. It's one of the big white fluffy ones and I had just finished Good Omens season 1 when I got it so I named it Aziraphale.

Aziraphale hasn't had flowers since 2019. I tried and tried, but I couldn't get it happy enough to bloom.

Around the end of June or the beginning of July I noticed a new flower spike.

A few days before season 2 dropped, it had flowers again.

I know it's all a coincidence, but it's funny to me how it all lined up.

Update: Firstly I want to say thank you to everyone who has liked and reblogged this so far because wow I've never posted anything that's gotten more than a handful of likes so thank you very much.

I got Aziraphale a companion recently.

I'm hesitant to call it Crowley just yet, because it is another bromeliad and if you've read the tags you know the first one didn't end well... but we're remaining optimistic.

I did learn after I brought it home and did some research that this type of bromeliad is known as a flaming sword, because of course it is, so it has that going for it.

Also I'm still relatively new to tumblr so I'm not sure if this is the best way to update a post or not...

#plants are weird #there was a Crowley that came with it but it didnt make it #it was a bromeliad if anyone's curious #i don't even know who will read this #thank you for your time if you've made it this far #good omens #good omens season 2 #aziraphale and crowley #weird coincidence #gif not mine

send help, i'm back on my "i should build a riparium" kick again

#BO NO #i have an orchidarium/terrarium. i have an aquarium. combining them means less maintenance right? right???#i will say- this would be MUCH easier if i did not have cats. but i have cats and need to have all plants enclosed for their safety #if that were not the case- i could just put a tall rock/wood in my shrimp tank and stick my orchids and bromeliads on it #'bo arent all of those plants non-toxic to cats' yes but that doesnt mean i want them getting chewed on lmao #im just Thinking ugh #i want to so badly- but i also have enough experience with this hobby to know this will easily be a $400+ project #*especially* if i go through with the full plan and purchase a pair/trio of wild bettas +/- additional stock to go with them #this would be like THE setup of all time for a bubble nesting species. maybe get some loaches and rasboras too #and i am literally a month out from graduating- i should not be throwing myself into a money sink like this right now lmao

you know plants and i trust your opinion; i've been struggling to find any information on how to look after bromeliads and was wondering if you had any advice?

Hey my friend! Thank you for your faith in me lol. I will answer your question to the best of my ability, but I do want to preface this with the fact that I don't do a lot of horticulture — I have a handful of houseplants and briefly worked at a garden center, but I don't have authority on the topic by any stretch of the imagination.

I am also limited by not knowing what bromeliads you are trying to care for — Bromeliaceae is a large family, with ~80 genera and ~3700 known species and species across these genera are commonly kept as houseplants. However, I will work under the assumption that you are working with the houseplants commonly referred to as bromeliads* and not, for example, a pineapple or air plant. As far as I can tell, the most commonly kept bromeliad genera are Guzmania, Aechmea, Quesnelia, and Vriesea. Guzmania seems to be far and away the most commonly sold. So let's get into it: how does one care for these buggers?

Something that I think we often forget about houseplants is that these plants belong to a specific ecology, even though they are removed from that context. Our job is to replicate (to the best of our ability) the conditions their wild relatives live under.

So, with that in mind, what does the ecological context for these bromeliads generally look like?

They are epiphytes — fancy botany word meaning that they grow on other plants, but do not derive nutrients from them, as in a parasite (epi = upon, above, over the epidermis; phyte = plant). The plant they grow on is referred to as a phorophyte (phoro = bearer, carrier; phyte = plant).

They are tropical. They are mostly native to the Neotropics (American tropics), except for one species that lives in tropical west Africa and a few in the American subtropics.

They generally are found in the subcanopy, so they receive varying levels of filtered light.

From these generalizations, we can deduce that they prefer a warm, high humidity environment with indirect sun exposure. Since they are epiphytes, their root structures aren't used to absorb nutrients and instead are primarily holdfasts, used to keep the plant firmly attached to its phorophyte. So how do they absorb nutrients and water?

Most epiphytic bromeliads have a central cup, like this:

(via The Flower Bin Gardening Center)

As illustrated in this image, the base of the leaves collects and stores water. This is where you want to water your bromeliad — wet soil won't do them much good without water in their central cup!

Now, a couple sources (1,2) I'm reading say that bromeliads are pretty picky about their water source and that tap water does not a happy bromeliad make. Instead, you want to use rain, filtered, or distilled water.

Since they like a humid environment, you can mist them or run a humidifier nearby to keep their environment within the desired humidity range. This source breaks down by taxon what that could look like.

Thats about all I've got for ya! Please check out the sources I hyperlinked, they have good advice and get more specific than I am able to with the info and expertise I have :)

*horticulture does this thing where a taxonomic name for a group is applied to a subsection within the broader group (OR EVEN species no longer in that grouping) and it is a PAIN and makes life SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT. @ horticulturalists I'm going to kill you with laser beams from my mind if you don't stop this.
