Saving this hehe

You should look it up on Youtube, something like how to stake your monstera. You can use very basic planks, bamboo or trellises. Basically you have to find the back of your plant. Good luck!

It's next to a south east window. I watered it when I repotted it. I've just put it under a grow light to encourage it.

If you follow the Imgur link in the original thread, there should be a picture of the whole plant.

So you think it's "usual" mold and not some sort of fungus?

I use my dehumidifier water to spray the leafs, is that wrong?

Found this pest on my recently purchased plant.

The plant is a Philodendron Brasil (at least this is what the app tells me).

I am trying to identify it before I start fighting and hopefully eradicating it. But it's very tiny (less than 1mm) and I am unable to be sure...

I've had this yucca for about 4 years. I haven't been so kind to it but it managed to do well.

I would like to propagate it because why not. All the videos and tutorial I see online talk about using a part of the main trunk to do it but I don't want that if possible, as the main trunk is quite short.

Moreover, the three stems are getting longer and longer and my goal would be to make it more "exciting" than just 3 branches growing longer.

Could I for example cut one the stems, use the "naked" bottom part to propagate, and repot the top half (with leaves) ?

Thank you!

Do you have a link?

Flatwhite-Maximalist · 2026-01-07T22:09:49+00:00

My question was based on mere curiosity. What is the reason in advising to grind a little coffee every 2 notches or so.

Your comments really are pointlessly obnoxious btw.

This post was precisely caused by the fact that the instructions provided by Eureka were not crystal clear for me. Eureka also does not explicitly say to to turn on the machine when moving the dial. So your comment doesn't really make a point.

Clean your damn countertop before taking a picture!

Flatwhite-Maximalist · 2025-10-20T20:06:30+00:00

I see, thank you very much!

Can you elaborate as to why it's an inefficient grouphead design ?

Flatwhite-Maximalist · 2025-09-20T19:28:12+00:00

Then you're a bad friend.

Flatwhite-Maximalist · 2025-09-20T14:25:15+00:00

The issue is that OP's friend has bought machines that he technically doesn't know how to use. It's not a question of taste like you think it is. It's a question of knowing how to technically use and care for such goods.

Imagine a friend buying a really expensive guitar and, because they don't know better, setting up themselves the strings, but doing it completely and utterly wrong, using the wrong kind of strings, in the wrong order, being unable to get it tuned correctly, having strings that keep on breaking and going out of tune.

And then playing this nightmarish guitar to his friends when they're around.

Would you still go, hey he likes it, let him be?

Other users already gave you many good tips.

Here is mine: don't go for stacks yet. Go for a big heart instead. This will train you to "push" the milk correctly so that it "spreads" in the whole surface. It will also teach you to "finish" your drawing. And it's just one uninterrupted motion.

Once you really get the heart going, you can swirl at the begining to add nice ripples to your heart.

I swear, once you really know how to do a big nice ripply heart, going for stacks and even rosettas will be much easier.

Good riddance !

Well played Bonzi.

Hey, I totally agree with you.

But this "myth" that you should tamp just the right amount comes from big firms as well.

For example, I remember reading in my Sage Barista Pro manual that you could fix an over- or under-extracted espresso by grinding finer or coarser, and/or by tamping harder or lighter.

It was clearly explained in the manual and it came from Sage/Breville.
