You can get window adhesives to prevent birds from flying into them. I have one window that used to be really bad for it but since we put the bird collision prevention stickers on it we haven’t had a single one smack into it.
Just remember to put the sticker on the outside as it’s meant to break up the reflections on the window.
I need to start sharing my non-hoyas more often lol
Polkirato Houseplants@mander.xyz•Update on my current Pinguicula collection (mostly pictures)English2·2 months agoLooking good! Mine are recovering from their bath the other week lol… Some didn’t make it but surprisingly a few seem to be putting out new leaves!

Well you’re in luck! Hoyas aren’t highly toxic to cats, and depending how much your cats chomp down on your houseplants it’s relatively safe to have one around. The ASPCA lists hoyas as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.
Like everything, quantity matters. If your cat eats houseplants on the regular then it will most likely get some GI upset. I definitely wouldn’t put it in the same league as lilies, which are highly toxic to cats.

it’s a mostly west facing window and gets super bright afternoon/evening light. It’s been in that window all spring and summer and seems to like it fine :)
Update: So I may have gone postal… After doing some searching online a couple people mentioned insecticidal soap. Well, I happened to have some on-hand and figured screw it. Whatever lives, lives.
I’ll leave them in there for a day and see if any plants survived (god I hope so…). Surfaces have all be sprayed with alcohol and all the substrate + nursery pots have been tossed, with the rest soaking in dishsoap.
Here’s hoping I didnt just murder all my new babies. I didn’t see a single mealy on any of them so no idea which plant(s) was the culprit.

Polkirato Anime@ani.social•The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 • Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 2nd Season - Episode 24 discussionEnglish7·3 months agoYay they lived! That was a nice wrap up to the season, this is definitely one of my favourite shows currently. It’d be nice if Jinshi could just be forthcoming about his feelings, I’m still not even sure if Maomao feels the same though I guess she’s not the most in-touch with her emotions. Maybe next season they’ll stop tiptoeing around it. I’m happy to see Lady Gyokuyou become the empress too.
Polkirato Games@sh.itjust.works•Nintendo suggests price hikes for consoles and games are coming to Canada, but Switch 2 escapes for nowEnglish2·3 months agoOh yikes, that’s stupid expensive. Definitely not worth the cost. I think it’ll get harder for me to not buy if they release a new Animal Crossing or Zelda, but honestly even then it’s not worth buying a whole console for 2 games. Probably just have to play them by other means :P
Polkirato Games@sh.itjust.works•Nintendo suggests price hikes for consoles and games are coming to Canada, but Switch 2 escapes for nowEnglish7·3 months agoDoom: The Dark Ages, for example, is CDN$89.99 on Steam currently. Cost of living has gone insanely haywire in Canada honestly, we’re getting price gouged left, right, and centre, and every company seems to be pushing their prices up because people just keep paying up. It’s really frustrating.

I’m not sure, I was looking for something inexpensive and quick to install at the time and the stickers fit the bill. There might be something out there, maybe someone else will have a better answer for you.
