    CreativeTwinsZoo's journal of self sufficancy

    When I pulled it out of the original pot the roots were packed pretty hard, so I'm startin to think that might be what the issue is possibly (still pretty new to all sorts of growing) I snipped off a few lil bits and gonna try to get new cuttings going cause of the questionable status of the plant

    @sumi That was a pretty good read! I dont know how old the plant Is entirely, i know at least 5ish months that I've seen it around (before it wound up in the trash :( ) and am quite intrigued it only blooms at night! That will make for a quite interesting experience if I ever see flowers on it~

    Soap from used cooking oil

    Agree with others, might want an added smellys, lard has a 'porky' and bacony smell from experience but not sure if corn oil would smell corny or like what was cooked in it or nothing lol

    Soap from used cooking oil

    If its filtered good afterwords don't see why not? Would be similar to lard or bacon fat I'd assume and plenty of folks use that once they've cooked with it. Probably would want to run your recipe through a lye calculator though and go from there
