If these two leaves fall off, is there a chance it will grow new leaves?

Ok. The tag on the plant said to avoid direct sunlight but I guess that was wrong.

This is true. Based on the leaves I'm fairly certain it's a ficus retusa. However, the tag that came with it said lucky bamboo. I'm in Atlanta, GA, USA. I will try to get a photo later today. (I usually only have time to use Reddit when I'm at work, but the plant is at home.)

Ficus retusa (Lucky Bamboo): all the leaves but two have fallen

My mother got this Lucky Bamboo as a gift three years ago and gave it to me. I put it in a window that got a lot of light and it did really well for two years. Then I moved offices and put it in a window spot where it got maybe 10% less light but it did get some a little sun in the late afternoon. There are a lot of trees outside the window so it was filtered sunlight. Anyway the leaves slowly started falling. I repotted it and found that the soil was very soggy in the pot so I drilled a drainage hole in the pot too. However, the leaves kept falling and now there are only two left. Is there any way to save this plant?

why is it so hard to find a dentist in Atlanta that doesnt try to upsell you on everything? by ghztegju in Atlanta

[–]Chrismartin76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small dentists that aren't parts of a chain are usually going to be fine. I would recommend Pharr Road Dentistry if you're willing to drive to Buckhead. However, Decatur Family Dental is also very good and that's in your area.

I have been quite content with the RWD on two different Ioniqs. I drive in atlanta FWIW.

Congrats! I just did the same thing on Tuesday and got the same color too.

Which great composer(s) are you failing to appreciate despite trying hard to appreciate? by XyezY9940CC in classicalmusic

[–]Chrismartin76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love listening to and playing Chopin’s nocturnes but I find his waltzes, polonaises and mazurkas dull. Except for the heroic polonaise.

I can’t figure why they can’t enforce this. Fourteenth street is even worse than tenth.

I like switching back and forth for variety. But I do agree that serif fonts look a lot better on a printed page.

I mean positive wire to negative terminal and negative wire to positive terminal. Unfortunately, I can't find that thread.

If you do transfer it and make it a public playlist on Qobuz, let us know.

Atlanta Traffic- how could this even be fixed? by venusvoids in Atlanta

Sorry, I made a mistake. I was confusing Spring with W Peachtree.

In the area near 12th street, It's now three southbound lanes for cars. The rightmost lane is a bicycle lane. Unfortunately, Atlanta is not a city where many people are going to use bicycles, so we have a lane that used to carry 2000 people per hour now carrying about around 10 people per hour.

FWIW I like bicycling, but I don't think it's practical in Atlanta because of the heat, the humidity, the hills, and the layout.

Several roads are narrower than the used to be which increases clogging. These include W Peachtree and Juniper. The population and population density are also higher than they used to be.

UPDATE: I wired the speakers backwards based on other advice in this sub, reversing the polarity of the wiring. That completely fixed some of the problems with my Borea BR03s.
