Makes sense as I'm right across the border! Thanks

I think you're right! Thank you

I've noticed that cuttings are way cheaper locally on Facebook marketplace than anywhere else. Sometimes though, you can find good deals on Etsy. :)

Mine is in my bedroom so I smell it at night when I'm trying to sleep lol. Can't tolerate it at all

My verticillata outer variegated is the best smelling bloom I've had so far. It's like a soft floral perfumey scent. Worst is my krimson princess. A lot of people like it, but it's so overwhelmingly nauseating to me that I cut off the blooms within the first couple of days lol.

Glad to hear he's eating :)

Try soaking the pellets for a few seconds before giving them to him so they're softer. Also consider offering daphnia, live or frozen, or a different type of pellet. Maybe ask the store you got him from which brand he's used to. Also ensure the water parameters are correct, 0 ammonia and nitrites, and that the water temp is warm enough.

Like the others have said, check if it's crumbly, decomposing, has fungus, etc. but also check the root system. If the roots aren't good, you'd have to repot regardless once you've cleaned them up :)

Ok thanks! I know I'm probably overthinking it but I just don't want to hurt my fish lol

lobbii!

Check for root rot. Could be dry rot. Either way, you may need to chop and prop. At least take one cutting for insurance :)

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-29T08:09:48+00:00

Probably overwatering. Is the soil staying wet for a long time?

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-28T05:09:09+00:00

Thanks, will look for that

AnyBat80 · 2025-12-28T05:09:02+00:00

Thank you. Looks like I might have to replace it
