Aisling has eaten three consecutive weekly meals with no refusal, so today was the first short handling session. She's a sweetheart ❤

y’all know what this is?!
it is a clump of jewelweed seedlings!
common jewelweed (impatiens capensis) is native to north america and likes to grow along waterways. in the summertime she grows lovely little orange flowers.
but my favorite thing about her is her sap! it’s great for topical use on irritated skin. i make salves out of it and other happy-skin plants every summer. AND anD if you apply the sap to an area of skin that’s been exposed to poison ivy, it can prevent the rash from developing.
OMG there’s a poison ivy preventative!? well. . . no. this is a more of a “i am in the middle of the woods and have no soap and water but i DO have this plant” situation.
the thing is, you have to have to apply the jewelweed sap almost immediately after exposure to urushiol (the itchy juice in poison ivy), and if you’ve been in contact with poison ivy for more than a few minutes – which most people are because they don’t recognize/notice it – then it’s DEF not going to work. urushiol is absorbed by the skin too fast.
it’s still a cool plant and it DOES reduce itchiness and irritation from dermatitis and bug bites. 🦟

Carnivorous terrarium! 🌱
Step by step below the cut 💕
How I used keep my plants previously
Substrate used is mostly sphagnum moss with a little bit of perlite. Aquarium rocks are used as drainage and a mosquito net is put between the rocks and the moss to avoid it slipping in deeper and rot underwater. I use the chopped bottle to pour water for the plants.
The branch is an aquarium decoration. Specifically because they are water resistant and don't get mouldy in a humid environment like a normal one would.
I'm not sure about using non aquarium stones for a carnivorous terrarium since they carry minerals and they kill the plants, so I stayed safe and bought a bunch of these.
I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out you have no idea how long I waited to make on of these lol this is my first ever terrarium. I'll decorate further later!!

Two years ago at the lake. It won’t be as lush this year after the drought but I look forward to being there soon!
