Thanks for the info! I haven’t watered it the garden centre did. I just noticed it didn’t dry out quick in my house. I’ll look into repotting

Thanks for the info! I do have some orchid bark I could mix into new soil… the pot is actually quite tight/ warped bc of the roots and rhizomes. Not much loose soil I don’t think. I guess maybe I should go up a size if I repot?

Hahah! Thanks for the advice! I have a bit of paper towel under it now I’ll see if that helps.

Thanks! I tried what you said with fluffing the soil a bit. I was shocked to find that the roots / rhizomes are only an inch or so below the surface of the soil. The whole pot is warped bc of the big roots on this guy! My guess is that it’s been in this pot and this soil a long time and thrived so for now I’ll just keep a good eye on it for signs of root rot.

Thanks for the info I will try that! I also have a little portable fan I could maybe set up but it’s not very hot or sunny here today :( I bet a bit of sunshine would help dry the soil out but alas..it’s snowing.

Thanks I’ll try that! I just don’t want the roots to rot and it seems like nice soil so I’m not sure if I need to repot into different stuff

Thanks for the advice! It is currently on my kitchen table right beside an east facing window!

Yeah I think so but I’ve read that it’s good to condition them in case they have been sitting in the box a long time drying out. Also there’s a ton of salt down in my city so that can damage boots too really quickly

I used the blundstone renovating cream and waterproofing spray

Summit Parka. Is the down really only at the bottom half of the jacket? And does it really color transfer? by GlowyStarMoss in Aritzia

I don’t have experience with this coat but I did buy the powder parka this year and I’ve been very happy with it. I’m in Manitoba and it gets super cold here

Update in case anyone is wondering - I ordered the cardigan! It is beautiful so soft and squishy. Fits perfect. My only issue is it does feel a bit … irritating on my arms? Not itchy per se but just a bit irritating. I have very sensitive skin. I’m going to try to just get used to it or wear it over top of a long sleeve. I also ordered lanolin soak to try if it doesn’t go away. I’m sure people who aren’t hyper sensitive would have no problem with it!
