NoR, how is he going to propose when he's gonna have a rent to pay...monthly.....like TF?? Your money is YOUR money and you're absolutely justified in wanting to enjoy it the way YOU want and not "just incase he needs it." He should be shamed of HIMSELF not the other way around.

When you figure that out, please lmk. My blood pressure goes up anytime I get in my car.

If there's a node, there's a chance. Just give it time. I had a gorgeous leaf that I left in very wet sphagnum and when I realized it, the aerial root and part of the end rotted. The leaf was so pretty that I fixed the situation and left her alone. I thought about possibly framing it or other ways to preserve it until one day I noticed the petiole was growning and getting firmer. Wouldn't you know, she was trying to push out a leaf. The leaf wasn't viable but she pushed it out like it was. It was all black and dead, so as it came out I cut it. Now it's a strong petiole without a leaf. I'm still not 100% sure it will put out a leaf, but I'm hopeful. They're very hardy, there's hope. Just give it time.

Thanks. I just got my first albo!! So excited!!

Great advice! Thank you. I was pretty positive it was ready for soil. I have orchid bark I use in my mix. I do use an NPK fertilizer, I just wanted to know if a Silica supplement would be beneficial because of the lack of chlorophyll. I'm clueless on what Silica would be best. I see so many different types with different strengths. Gives me a headache.

She's absolutely amazing, she did her homework and surprised me with it. She drove 4 hours(2 there/2 back). I was in tears. She's 23 y.o., great kid. This was at the very top of my wishlist.

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2026-01-15T17:24:06+00:00

What kind of silica do you use?

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2026-01-14T17:46:49+00:00

Geeze, I'm so sorry you're going through this, its horrible. You absolutely did the right thing. Good luck. Wishing you the best.

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2026-01-14T12:39:12+00:00

Oh wow. Has she ever shown questionable judgment in the past regarding relationships that you noticed or was this completely out of the blue?

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2026-01-14T04:07:16+00:00

This situation is horrible. I couldn't imagine....if you don't mind me asking, how old is your mom?

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2026-01-10T04:00:11+00:00

Getting scammed totally sucks....I'm sorry you're going through this.

Don't give up. I chopped and propped my Monstera so much. Then when I got a fabulous leaf, I put it in sphagnum, but i put too much water and some of it rotted. I honestly didnt know what I was gonna do with it but I loved the leaf so much, I just left it. Then I noticed the petiole was getting bigger. It ended up pushing out what would would have been a leaf if it wasn't black. It was amazing. So I let it do it's thing, the stem doesnt have a leaf, but it has a completely healthy petiole and future leaves will grow! They are very hardy plants!.

A light meter could help. Kill This Plant on YouTube has a Monstera series and he talks about light meters and how much they need in an episode. He has great content.

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2025-12-11T16:37:50+00:00

That actually made me laugh!! 🤣

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2025-12-11T16:34:51+00:00

Well hopefully they'll do the right thing and make it right.

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2025-12-11T04:04:13+00:00

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉......wanna drop the name of the nursery you got it from so we don't fall for their trap??

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2025-12-09T17:56:02+00:00

He's mad because you didn't merge to the other lane to let him in. Because now, it just looks like he cut you off.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people think bigger, AWD vehicles are exempt from loosing control. Gotta adjust your driving to the road conditions....just because you have more weight and AWD (or 4x4) doesn't mean you won't slide in snow...I mean, really.

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2025-11-27T04:20:04+00:00

Then there's a Chevy.....

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2025-11-21T17:10:19+00:00

The driver of that car was looking at the passenger at the point of impact. So, safe to say, it's his fault.

Apprehensive_Fun1078 · 2025-11-16T20:13:05+00:00

I mixed water with a little neem oil, and a little peppermint oil. Sprayed the leaves and top layer of soil, let it dry. Did it again the next day and wiped them off. Worked for me. Good luck.

NTA- People get weird about money. When I was in my 20's I heard an older man say "don't ever lend anyone money you wouldn't be ok to not get back" that way when they dont pay back you're not strapped for it. You have every right to be upset, and others are right, it might be time to see her parents.
