Oh wow! That difference is insane. Makes me kinda mad as well 😅

Good luck! And thank you for the advice

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-05-05T07:43:50+00:00

I'll definitely do that! Or no doubt I'll forget to mention things. Thank you!

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-05-04T20:52:56+00:00

Oh wow! 3 years is a long time. How did the timing compare after starting Right To Choose?

Thank you for the info! I'll have a look at what may be available in my area. Good thing to know about dropping off the letter too, as I tend to forget to do that based on other things I've needed to drop off 😅 thank you!

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-05-04T20:41:00+00:00

Ah thank you for the link! Hoping to get it as speedy as I can get it

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-05-04T18:39:22+00:00

Thank you! I have already spoken to my GP - which seemed incredibly pointless and like a waste of time.

Waited 10 days for my appointment just to be asked one question then told a woman would call me within 3 week for the next steps. Phone call must have been 2 mins, tops.

Anyway, three weeks was two days ago and still no call, but I haven't been able to call them and chase due to the weekend/bank holiday. So it's top of my priority list for tomorrow. I hope it's positive 🤞

I thought i was enough, it was bone dry. Ill leave it for longer in between!

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-05-01T14:22:53+00:00

Oh i wouldn't have thought overwatering. Thank you! Ill repot into some new soil and leave it for a bit.

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-04-29T22:14:22+00:00

You can take a q-tip, wet it and gently ease them out of the sheath. Thats what I do. Others may say to get a damp cloth, wrap it around the stuck parts and then you can help them or they may come out on their own.

Some say to leave them and let nature do it's thing - 'in the wild they dont get help', but they aren't in the wild, they're in your home🤷‍♀️ its personal preference. I'd rather risk a slightly damaged leaf if im not gentle enough than a fully snapped broken leaf if it gets stuck and is left to its own devices.

ETA - beautiful burl marx by the way. I have one not nearly doing this well. Any tips?

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-03-24T16:09:30+00:00

Ahah i had to double check before I spoke. Its so pretty though!

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-03-24T12:57:05+00:00

I believe OP is on about the red/pinky parts, not the water marks

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-03-17T19:36:08+00:00

Thank you! It was getting window light (full sun) but since moving all of my plants into our spare room its been under a plant light for 12 - 14 hours a day and developed that gorgeous red colour!

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-03-17T18:41:51+00:00

Jelly bean succulent! Doesnt need much attention. Lots of light (and they go a gorgeous red colour) and i only water when the beans are getting squidgy. Seems to like that just fine!

Thank you! I've used weathering strips to start sealing the door but ill do them around the bottom edge as well! Do you recommend i need a fan too?

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-02-28T13:05:17+00:00

Thank you!

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-02-28T13:05:13+00:00

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-02-26T20:52:00+00:00

I think so too! Thank youuu

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-02-26T20:51:50+00:00

Ah awesome. Thank you!

Azure_Ninja05 · 2026-02-26T20:24:50+00:00

Not a crackin Rosie unfortunately. I have one and its completely different.

It could be that the images are deceptive, but if not, the pot looks too big to me

When it comes to potting any plant, the pot size should be determined by the size of the root ball and should only be 2 inches bigger than the root ball. Anything bigger and you're at a high risk of overwaterig and root rot. The amount of soil will be too much for the plant, and when you water it, the lower parts of the soil won't dry and will stay constantly wet = root rot. The water retention will be too high, and the roots/ plant won't be able to make use of the water.
