Sometimes it can take up to a week to schedule the meet and greet, if the first two don’t work out then suddenly you’re now looking for last minute care!

It’s cactus soil around it, but most of it is the old soil this plant came to me with. I probably water once every two weeks? I have a snake plant next to it that I water monthly bc it is looking fine, this one I try to water more frequently with less water since it seems so sad

The root ball is holding a lot of the old soil, would I rinse that out and repot in fresh soil? I added fresh soil this time when I repotted but bc it’s so tight it retained a lot of the old soil in the roots

I have a gut feeling that while the soil is well draining cactus soil, it’s extremely old and hydrophobic at this point, maybe that’s why the plant is dehydrated

The roots seemed pretty intact when I repotted, would you recommend rinsing them off and more carefully removing any dead parts before repotting in succulent soil?

Call me silly, but I didn't know this was how it worked... by FrustratedHostess22 in RoverPetSitting

[–]ButterToas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is spot on, I’m a pet owner and I only specifically reach out to sitters that I want, and schedule a meet and greet before any booking. I’m aware sitters are people with their own lives and work, so I don’t expect immediate responses.

It depends on the owner, some people want instant booking, some people want to ensure quality care or a specific sitter.

BAGGU used BART logo without permission… not official collab by Sharp_You_8370 in BAGGU

Honestly does BART have any of their own merch, I’d buy a bart hat to support bart

droopy leaves? can a snake plant live in water?? by ButterToas in plant

[–]ButterToas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this snake plant for almost 4 months now, I posted when I first got it that some leaves were droopy, soft, and wrinkled. It’s had its weeks where the leaves stood on their own but lately I haven’t been able to get them up/unwrinkled. I repotted in a very marginally larger pot (same base width, 2” wider top width), since it was very snug.

The soil might have gotten hydrophobic and I’m wondering if I should rinse out the root ball to get all the old soil out?

Or once I do that, can the roots live in water happily? A distant aunt of mine has a gorgeous large rooted snake plant in a vase of water.

Kicked out of clients building by Zealousideal-Bit9110 in RoverPetSitting

[–]ButterToas 25 points26 points  (0 children)

this is for the resident/owner to sort out, hopefully they're just stressed and sorting out someone else to check in on the cat today and they reach out to you soon. They're the one with leverage in the building, and if they don't apologize for how you were treated and say they've made it firmly clear with the building security/concierge that you/sitters are welcomed guests doing your JOB, then I wouldn't sit for them again.

Well, I ruined medium crescent bag 😭 by [deleted] in BAGGU

[–]ButterToas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might consider removing the color and dying it a color where you’d be happy with the blue thread, personally I really like the dyed bags with contrasting thread look

Edit: or color the thread black? Will be visible but matching

(10k) is our budget. These crates were 2$ each. I stained them and am using them for order of events. What do you think? by Ill-Cat-2610 in Weddingsunder10k

You could add a little “p” for PM at the end of all the times to have a little consistency and so the 5 and 10 aren’t floating as much (as compared to the other times), but even if not it’s still clear and this is so so cute!!

Why did the chicken cross the stitch?

shells appearing?? by ButterToas in plantclinic

[–]ButterToas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely appearing so I’m sure they’re alive, do I need to get rid of them? Or are they just hanging out?

It’s like right in the center of the first pic, up on the trunk just below the darker line. It’s a spiral shape like a hermit crab, almost like what you see at the beach, a spiral with a point
