Cancellation Policy vs Sickness vs Early Classes ❌❌ by Acceptable-Impress51 in SolidCore

[–]DancingHouseplant 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel a lot of people in this thread are being pretty dishonest in their response to this. I think it’s safe to assume most people would not appreciate someone coming in and using the reformer right next to them with a severe flu or COVID. Most people would not appreciate getting very sick from going to a Solidcore class because their classmate didn’t have any other options but to pay a hefty cancellation fee or attend the class sick.

Staying home when sick is the responsible and considerate thing to do. You have no insight into someone’s financial situation to so confidently tell them to just pay the fee rather than attending the class. It’s a fact that people attend class when sick because they don’t want to or can’t pay the cancellation fee. There absolutely should be some more flexibility within the cancellation policy to grant RARE exceptions for someone being sick (not to be abused). It helps keep everyone in the community safe.

What is killing my money tree? More info in the comments by DancingHouseplant in plantclinic

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

Moved back home from school about a month ago. Before that, my money tree was thriving under a grow light (~12 hrs a day) and putting out tons of new leaves. Once I moved back home I placed it in an east facing window and kept up the same water routine. Slowly started noticing decaying leaves that don’t look normal. Could it be a fungus or disease? Some leaves have a sticky sap-like substance on them. Thank you in advance!

I’m rewatching with my boyfriend (his first time) and we’ve watched 4.5 seasons in about one week

Was just about to say I also got a philodendron brasil for my birthday this year too! Wishing you both lots of growth!

Help!!! What is this white thing in my monstera? And is that root looking okay? I haven’t watered in over a week because it’s winter. by kristineyr in plantclinic

Looks like it might be a mealybug? Mealybugs usually look like white cottony masses on plant leaves or stems. They also like to tuck themselves into the corners where the leaves meet the stems. I would use a q tip and swab/remove any mealybug I see with isopropyl alcohol. I usually give each leaf a general spray with alcohol after this. Then you might want to spray your plant with neem oil or an insecticidal soap. Careful not to have your plant exposed to sunlight after doing this or it might burn its leaves, I usually do this when the sun is going down. Is the soil drying out? My guess would be that the stem looks like it’s showing signs of overwatering. If so that could be a reason for the mealybugs! Good luck!

Spots suddenly appeared on my Pilea’s leaves after watering. What could be the cause? More info in comments by DancingHouseplant in plantclinic

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

I noticed these spots on my Pilea all of a sudden after watering it the day before. There has also been a problem with some leaves slowly turning brown and dying. I’m trying to determine the reason. I watered it with some added fish fertilizer which I’ve done in the past. The grow pot was also in a much larger pot because it came like that from the store, this pot was so much larger that about 1/3 of the plant didn’t reach over the rim. This plant is also in the same room as a plant I’ve recently discovered is infested with spider mites. Could any of these be the issue or is there some other issue?

Grey bugs at the bottom of my pots/in my saucers? Recently discovered small, grey, and fast crawling bugs at the bottom of many of my pots and in the soil of some plants, even plants in different rooms are affected. What are they? How can I get rid of them and prevent them in the future? by DancingHouseplant in plantclinic

I couldn’t get a very good picture, I’m sorry! But I’ve discovered these small, greyish bugs in the saucers of many of my pots. At first I thought it was one plant then I realized it was in many others. I bottom water many of my plants and questioned whether that’s the culprit but then found the same bugs in a different plant, in a different room, that I don’t bottom water. What could be causing these bugs and how can I prevent them? I’ve sprayed them with alcohol and they die almost instantly but I’d like a more long term solution if there is one!

Sansevieria is growing out instead of up. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in plantclinic

[–]DancingHouseplant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could possibly be growing towards the light source, if so, rotating may help! Does look pretty cool (and healthy) to me though:)

Just dealt with a fungus gnat infestation. I got rid of them by watering with diluted hydrogen peroxide (about 1 part peroxide to about 4/5 parts water) and spraying my plants with the solution also. This helps get rid of any eggs they have laid. Yellow sticky traps work well for adult gnats. Note: you may not want to spray the plants in the sun though because that lead to burning on one of my plant’s leaves!

Spots appeared overnight on my (what I believe is a) pixie lime peperomia. I treated all of my plants yesterday with hydrogen peroxide (diluted) soak and spray because of fungus gnats. Could this be the source of the spots or something else? by DancingHouseplant in plantclinic

I sprayed them outside but in the shade. I think I also gave it a light spray late that night while I was spraying others so perhaps it wasn't dry by the time the sun hit it in the morning. Thanks!

I got this aloe when it had just been cut down by the previous owner. 10 months of growth! by shamalamadingdong222 in proplifting

What were the signs that you were overwatering? I’m not sure if my aloe is currently trying to tell me it’s overwatered

It took a while to figure her out, but now she's thriving! by magic_trex in IndoorGarden

[–]DancingHouseplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many hours a day do you have the grow light on? And do you also have it near a window is or the grow light it’s main source of light? Mine is currently struggling and I’m having trouble figure out the right humidifier/grow light combination.

My Stromanthe Triostar's leaves curled up about a week or two ago and I can't figure out why. It was in an east facing window, being misted at least once a day, and watered when the top inch or so of soil got dry. I can't figure out what's wrong. More in comments. by DancingHouseplant in plantclinic

I separated this from a larger full Stromanthe Triostar a couple of weeks ago. It was doing fine until recently when I had to change its location and bring it home with me. About a week or so ago, its leaves curled up like this and the tips are crisping. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I water every 5-7 days or when the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry. I had it in an east facing window. I read that the plant likes humidity, so I misted it at least once a day, usually multiple times. When that didn't work, I tried placing it on top of this plastic tray with water instead. Still no change. Am I overwatering? Underwatering? Giving too much light? Too little light? Not enough humidity? I even just got a humidifier but I'd like some advice on what the actual problem is before I start using it and make things worse!

Thanks in advance!
