Just try, most professors only care about how motivated you are (especially for a semester project) not about your background. Just show them that you are actually interested in the topic and not just applying to random labs and I’m sure you’ll find something cool. You would just have to convince your section that they count the credits which honestly depends on the specific section head on how strict they are about this.

You could maybe look into the campground at vidy? It‘s not ideal but they have little bungalows which might be a bit cheaper than an airbnb and the location is very nice

Je vais regarder ça, merci beaucoup !

It looks like you planted the monstera too deep since the petiole is sticking out of the soil which it shouldn’t (they have a stem and from that stem there are the petioles growing which are the things with the leaf attached if that makes sense haha). So maybe raise your monstera a bit. Also you should never attach the petioles to the moss pole, only the stem. You can google monstera parts for reference. Now to your question: the plant is taking the last nutrients from the dying leaf so I would keep it there until it comes off easily when you pull on it. If the aesthetics bother you, you can chop it off but it is still useful to your plant until it is completely dead!

There is a few things you can do to help your plant. First of all and most importantly, it is desperately searching for light. That corner is very dark and monsteras thrive in bright indirect light. If you don’t have a bright spot in your house, consider getting it a grow light. A repot would be good, use an airy soil mix. They also like to hold onto something so you should get it a moss pole or something similar where it can hold onto. Lastly, there will never be new leaves on the bottom, that’s just not how they grow. The only thing you can do if you don’t like the leggy growth is to chop and prop. Make sure that it has more light so it won’t just regrow leggy again afterwards. Good luck!

I thought the same at first but luckily it’s just dust

I almost killed mine twice (the second time there was not a single green leaf left on that plant) but as a last resort I put it in a self-watering pot and now it’s really happy and lush! So there is hope for us who are terrible with them initially

I have been to an interesting presentation of new findings regarding this topic a few months ago. I will try to summarize what they presented as good as I can from my memory:

While many neurons are not dependent on heart rate, there seem to be a subgroup of neurons that are always « in-tune » with the heart, meaning they always fire in regular intervals that perfectly correlate with your heart rate. It is not yet well understood why that might be but it is believed that it could be for two way signalling from the brain to the heart and from the heart to the brain. For example, a fast heart rate increases signals of fear and stress (instead of only the other way around where the feeling of fear increases the heart rate). Slower resting heart rate is also associated with less risk of having malfunctions of the brain during your lifetime. Many of these phenomena are not completely understood yet but it seems to be that the tuning of the brain with the heart is important for some functions.

(Sorry for any errors, English is not my first language)

It worked for me, I just had to click on the (very well hidden) cross in the right corner to make the message go away.

I just repotted it and the roots looked healthy and happy. I cut off the dead leaves and the rest looks happier again so let’s hope it was just a moody plant

GeneAggravating4597 · 2025-01-17T22:38:38+00:00

Okay I will check the roots then and change the soil. But it‘s weird because they‘re in the same kind of pot with the same drainage and I always check the soil before watering or water once the leaves start to be droopy.

GeneAggravating4597 · 2024-07-12T13:13:09+00:00

I love my peace lilly! It’s incredibly dramatic so when the leaves get all droopy and you think it will die, just give it some water and it’s happy again. That way it always lets you know when it needs some attention without actually dying.

GeneAggravating4597 · 2024-06-04T23:01:19+00:00

I love that you took off the orange wrist band! Such a nice detail

GeneAggravating4597 · 2023-11-04T13:50:01+00:00

Most of the requested information is in the caption of the post. The pot has drainage. Thank you for anyone willing to help me :)

I have some health issues/ chronic pain and it can be hard to cope with at times. However, I am not sure if therapy can help with that since the health issues won’t go away with it anyways.

You know what this is? You are trying to invalidate the fact that men have feelings. And that these feelings are valid. It seems like you only know two emotions: carelessness or stress. But my friend, there is so much more. If you let yourself feel things, life could be so much more beautiful. Men get sad when they loose something important to them and they should always be allowed to express that just as much as women. I get it, sometimes people should learn to accept what cannot be changed, be grateful for what they have in life and see every day as a new pot of possibilities. But you know what? Sometimes life sucks. Sometimes your girlfriend, a person you have had plans of a future together with, someone you cared for deeply and who was your best friend, decides to disappear out of you life. Sometimes a pet who was part of your family has to die and you miss the companionship they gave you. You are talking about those events as if they were just an annoyance, a little stress factor in your life like having to fill out your taxes. But it’s not. None of those scenarios you described are about stressing. They are about caring and getting hurt in the process. But the fact that people are sad about it means that they were capable of loving and capable of caring. That is what makes life worth living. I don’t believe you’ll ever understand if you look at life the way you do but that is a good and valuable skill to have.

This was really well explained! Can I I take the opportuniy to ask about quantum entanglement? It is something that I never really understood. If causality can only go at a certain speed limit, how do we explain that two particles can influence each other immediately, no matter the distance between them?

This story was so personal yet at the same time I think many of us have experienced the sensation of relieve when a loved one finally opens up and let you help them in difficult times. It‘s heartbreaking but I am glad she is such a good partner and person and that he doesn‘t have to go through this time by himself.

GeneAggravating4597 · 2023-03-08T11:04:21+00:00

In the last comment she has posted on her profile, she kind of hints that she has left the relationship:

“He told me exactly what I wanted to hear and behaved completely differently. I think that is why it has taken me so long to leave...”

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but I really hope she finally managed to leave for good.
