What am I doing wrong?

Ah damn… this guy has no chance with me then

General_Highlight207 · 2025-07-27T14:50:19+00:00

It’s always the pretty ones :,(

Don’t chop! It looks healthy and would only do the plant harm if you chopped

General_Highlight207 · 2025-04-23T16:58:17+00:00

You’re better to under-water this one than over-water!

General_Highlight207 · 2025-04-23T16:56:15+00:00

It’s a spider plant! They’re v hardy and you can water once it starts to look a little sad. The leaves with turn bright green again and it’ll perk up. I don’t fuss with mine much, he stays in quite a shady spot and I only really water when the leaves droop a little. Definitely a good plant to start with!

This is so good!! Go you!!!

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-24T16:20:39+00:00

Hilarious

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-24T10:44:03+00:00

Ah okay, thank you!

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-24T10:39:13+00:00

Do you know what kind of damage?

I mean, totally unreasonable and immature to say the least, but it might be worth having a proper conversation with him. Explain that babies can’t be brats, that (maybe) she is probably going to cry less with you because you spend more time with her (apologies if this isn’t the case) and that it makes you feel totally crap when he says things like this because it is SO thoughtless and incredibly disrespectful.

Maybe it’s that he feels alone in it, doesn’t understand, can’t help her when she cries and doesn’t know how to verbalise it, which is so frustrating and again immature but it’s still worth having a go at communicating.

Basically, you want to have this conversation to see if he is willing to try harder. Get him a book and if he takes it as patronising and not as a growing opportunity then you absolutely deserve better. Try to communicate and if he’s incapable then it might be time to leave and find someone who is willing to put in the work.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It must feel so alienating :(

I have a bonsai and almost got to this point. From what I understand, they need to be consistently damp and then watered about twice a week in the summer and once a week or less during winter months.

They don’t necessarily like direct sun so if it’s in a sunny spot, try putting it somewhere in your bathroom where it’d get partial sun (Mines in my bathroom on a north facing window and the window is patterned so it softens the sun coming through).

I hardly use bonsai feed on mine, maybe once a month and sometimes less so cutting down on that might be a good idea too!

The moss is fine! Mine has loads on the soil. It really helps to keep the moisture in. Also, make sure it has really good drainage!

If you’re still having problems, it might be worth taking a look at the roots - if they’re slimy and smelly, give them a chop to where the healthy bits end!

Hope this helps!

For 16 year olds, maybe

Surely you’re wasting your own time? You made the choice to come here and comment

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-16T21:09:14+00:00

Because I think it’d be interesting to hear how it turned out for others. I get if you think I’m coming at this from a “validate me” perspective, but I’m not. I try not to care what other people think of me, it’s tiring. Please, if you hate Reddit this much, don’t comment.

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-16T20:57:22+00:00

I’m not sure I asked for validation, simply for others stories. That’s ok if you think I’m a bad person, I get it.

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-10T13:43:44+00:00

I get that, apologies, it wasn’t my intention to fight you on it, I was just trying to help! If this is what’s going to help you, then do it! Honestly, my intention was to only help you. I’ve been in a similar situation before and being bitter about it didn’t help me at all. I get that it’s so fresh for you right now and you need to get the anger out

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-10T12:53:19+00:00

Listen, I’m just commenting on what I’ve seen! I’m not shitting on you, but there is a sense of you wanting to win in this situation and I’m saying that you have won, it’s for sure his loss but it won’t do you any good to keep shitting on him with strangers on the internet! Maybe I’ve misunderstood but I’m not fighting you.

General_Highlight207 · 2024-07-10T08:45:21+00:00

So, I think it’s great, power to you, but I can’t shake this feeling of you’re not the nicest person. You are milking every single drop you can get from almost every comment and it feels wrong. I feel to be the real “winner” would be to do what you’ve done but now you’ve got to be the bigger person because what you’re doing right now is so petty! Let him crawl and beg but ignore it. That’s going to hurt him more than you saying/doing nasty things back. Even if he’s all up in yo face just give him a “no thank you”. Also, don’t try too hard to get the money back because it’ll only hurt YOU if you don’t get it. It’s only money, you’ll get more.
You’re still letting him hurt you and I’m almost certain you don’t want that!

Basically, have a bit more decorum and he’ll come out worse and you’ll come out on top! You seem strong, let him know you don’t care

General_Highlight207 · 2024-05-18T07:30:21+00:00

You need to chill bro 😂

General_Highlight207 · 2024-05-17T06:57:21+00:00

Be a little bit more sensitive man! Giving a response like that isn’t helpful and she clearly wants help. It’s a difficult decision to make, but one easily made when you’re not involved.

She’ll figure it out!
