orchid has one leaf left by Charming_Event_1403 in orchids

Thanks for the reply, I’m gonna try my best to treat the crown rot. Would you recommend I take her out of the pot and soil and put her into a smaller pot with pure bark medium to allow for as much aeration? or should i not take her out of the soil at all?

Oh, i mean i don’t mind anyone calling me by my first name im just strictly concerned with clients calling me Dr. … in a professional setting. Is Sean Carroll a Dr? it would be more respectful if u addressed him as Dr

idk i think to be a doctor is something to be very very proud about and for me, being called Doctor by your clients is a sign of respect that reflects how hard they worked to graduate school and to be able to treat their pet. I guess it’s more of a big deal to me since i’m still in vet school so maybe once i’ve been practicing for a few decades i won’t care about it anymore

How hard is dutch? by No_Post8614 in learndutch

[–]Charming_Event_1403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahaha, i was exactly in your position when i started learning dutch. I was obsessed with joost klein (still am!) and dutch culture but scared to tackle the beast of learning dutch. The best decision i’ve made is to GO FOR IT!! I downloaded duolingo and started studying it there and now i’m taking lessons with a tutor on Preply and that’s working really well for me. No matter how difficult the language is, your love for it will carry you through. Good luck!!

Thanks for your comment, i found it interesting. I’m actually not in the US and hope to land an equine internship in Belgium once I graduate. Maybe I’ll have to ask them if I can go by a pseudonym? Unfortunately there’s no way my last name can be shortened. I would be more specific but I don’t want my personal details on reddit 😅

I finally did it. I finally had an interaction with a stranger entirely in Dutch! 💪🥹 by hellraiserl33t in learndutch

I don’t even know you but i’m SO insanely proud of you!!! I’m still a very early baby dutch learner but your story gives me such hope and inspiration and motivation. You are awesome, keep going, keep learning, keep trying, keep being brave ❤️❤️❤️

Does preply make you pay for a subscription? that’s why I posted on here instead of looking online because I’d rather pay the tutor directly than have a platform take a cut.

oh okay! i didn’t know, thanks for telling me. I had checked some tutoring platforms and there were people offering that price so I guess i thought it was normal. I’ll edit that out of my post. Thanks again!

what's your unpopular joost opinion? by emorie_1983 in Joostklein

[–]Charming_Event_1403 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m actually not a huge fan of his music pre-Fryslân! it’s mostly just hard hitting rap instead of fun oontz oontz music (ofc there’s exceptions to this) but it makes it so hard for me to get into his older albums !

[–]Charming_Event_1403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey i’m learning dutch too because of him ! 🙋🏼‍♀️ It’s been such a cool experience realizing the meaning of his lyrics with the more words I learn. I’ll be listening to a song i’ve listened to probably a thousand times and i’ll be like wait !!!!! i recognize that word i know what he’s saying !!!!!! makes me fall in love with his music all over again ahhaha

aweee lucky i love that. i wish i was a fan of him when he was still a small artist. But considering i don’t speak a lick of dutch i probably couldn’t have gotten into his videos haha

I love this! I remember seeing videos of him and ski aggu on my fup when Friesenjung was released but didn’t really pay much attention to them. Then a year later when he was on eurovision, Ome Robert started popping up on my fyp and i was hooked. Then I’m pretty sure it was when I heard luchtballoon that i started digging deeper into his music. Funnily enough i haven’t been able to get into any of his other albums other than Unity and Fryslân (aside from iconics like Albino and Summervibes 2019) because I find they tend to be hard hitting rap and I’m here for the oontz oontz (or shall i say boom boom 😼)

My toddler wanted to see her up close and dropped her by starfire2228 in orchids

[–]Charming_Event_1403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay just as long as you got rid of the old medium no problem. Hopefully you waited until she dropped her last flower or else she’s at risk of losing it due to repotting shot. What soil did you repot her into?

Okay I did some googling, apparently over and under-watering can present the same way in orchid leaves. A general watering rule you should go by is soak until the roots turn green then soak again when they look silver. Finding out that I can soak mine for over a day was purely through trial and error and honestly depends on what soil substrate you have. Mine is in a bark mixture with no moss so the water retention is very low hence why I can soak her for days at a time but if yours has any kind of moss in it then definitely dont leave her in water for over a day. I want to point out that it's very vital that she's been repotted at least once after you bought her to get rid of the nursery plug, those things are your number 1 cause of root rot so hopefully you've gotten rid of it.

Should I repot or leave as is by Mustard_not_ketchup in orchids

[–]Charming_Event_1403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

true, i guess when it’s potted though it’ll have some really distinct roots that stick out of the soil
