Is there anyone else out there who uses a tweezers to pull little weeds out of their CP pots? I know I do. I particularly can't stand to see something growing up out of the crowns of my plants. It really irks me.
I see... you're not anal yet you use a tweezers to get moss out when it gets too thick Interesting. I'm thinking this is the pot calling the kettle black
Uuuug, I am a little better now. I used to trim my VFTs of black material constantly. Now I just am anal about all the DOG HAIR that gets in some of my pots. It drives me up the wall, and the thing is that it isn't in just plants that are outside on the deck, it's in EVERYTHING without a lid. Let's put it this way: if I had easy access tweezers, I'd be using them. As it stands, I'm picking up hair with bonzai clippers, usually works, though sometimes I end up just chopping up the hairs, and it's needless to say that I can think of at least one experience where I made an accidental "cutting."
Yes! I use tweezers to pick out moss and dead insect parts, and a turkey baster to water so don't drip or spill the RO water anywhere but where I want it. I have to force myself NOT to start fussing with the plants every time I get home and see a dead trap on a VFT or something.
I constantly remind myself that I am more likely to kill the plants by constantly fussing with them!
I find that I do the same thing. I get in there with my tweezers and pull out any unwanted weeds or moss that may be trying to grow in there. I do not like the looks of the moss getting out of control plus if it gets to thick I feel that it can potentially block the plant for getting oxygen to the soil. The roots of the moss may not go really deep but if a good green carpet is there, it can surely create a pretty good mass of roots.
