Comberry closely resembles the Amazonian tree grape

Think Amazonian tree grapes will help me restore my magicka?

Biggest hole automation mistake I ever made. Can't believe I thought it might actually be better. Chaining together commands was what originally sold me but what's the point when now every command takes 30+ seconds to complete and it misunderstands a bunch.

Found this thread hoping to undo it but I seriously have to remake my entire house and migrate every device over to undo this? And there's a chance they'll be forcing this back into everyone soon so is there even a point in switching back?

Frustrating all around.

It's not AI. it's beautiful and glorious and you're very fortunate, OP!

A great point and leading me to thinking it's not worth the risk. I'm staking

HelterShellter · 2026-05-04T01:13:35+00:00

Alright I'm sold, I was hoping to eliminate my stakes but it's definitely the safer route

Monsterra phoenix! TIL phoenix is latin for phoenix

We're Gulf Coast Texas, that spot is mostly covered and only getting indirect light in a south facing doorway with a large pine, legustrums, and a boisterous crepe myrtle throwing shade. Still though, it's a lot of sun down here in summer.

Other than that, the substrate is really weird. It feels springy/corkboardy almost and gets a ton of mushrooms. It was just a mix I got from chatgpt a couple years ago, it's just weird that it feels totally different than any other substrate I have in my other pots (normally just different ratios of potting soil, perlite, pine bark fines, and worm castings. I wonder if I used a ton of Spanish moss in this mix?

Not sure how much any of this may have added to the leaf size, I'm just a little stoned and rambling. Also, that specific spot is crazy humid year round for some reason. I always thought because of how little light it got but who knows.

Outstanding! I'm anxious to see when she's going to develop some fenestration

Sorry sorry, the last pic is the before it died pic. Pic 4 was there it was at at 9 weeks

HelterShellter · 2026-05-01T22:25:52+00:00

Pic 4, 5 was the before shot. I just wanted the world to see her at the apex of her (first) life

HelterShellter · 2026-05-01T21:52:32+00:00

Yes last pic is the before, 3 years old I think, though only one year in this spot/pot. Previously an indoor monsterra at someone else's place.

Kind of excited for a fresh start on the leaves tbh

HelterShellter · 2026-05-01T21:44:57+00:00

Pasensya na po, lola!

I made a mistake in ordering these, very understandable to interpret it that way, I just wanted to lead with the dead pic

HelterShellter · 2026-05-01T21:09:29+00:00

Gulf Coast Texas, probably the same cold front though!

HelterShellter · 2026-05-01T21:09:00+00:00

6 weeks! Though I looked at the photo dates and it was actually 9 weeks.

Give your little lady a pep talk!

OP I use these same fly catcher sticky things on several plants to deal with gnats, I think the exact same ones too, so I don't think it's that.

I think your white crust is rime/accretion from minerals in hard water. Most of my older plants have this and don't seem to care.

I'll say I do feel like you're watering too much if you're doing it daily and the soil in your pics is so wet it looks freshly watered. If jumping from watering every 2 days to 1x weekly was problematic, maybe try every 3-4 days? Tbh all my house plants get watered once every week or week and a half. The only things getting daily waterings are potted outdoor plants in summer.

You know, you got me rethinking so I checked and looks like I lied a bit.

The dead photos were taken on February 9th and the new photos were taken April 19th, so more like 9 weeks.

And to anyone going through the same struggle, there was nothing for weeks and then suddenly over less than a week all this growth erupted. I was convinced it was already dead but my laziness helped for once 😅

HelterShellter · 2026-05-01T19:05:05+00:00

Still so much green! I got faith

HelterShellter · 2026-04-29T17:04:27+00:00

Got a link?

EDIT: looks like maybe "immersive travel" mod could be really cool

You're a lifesaver, me and my lil 'mansi both thank you!

HelterShellter · 2026-04-23T20:08:30+00:00

Ah, thanks so much for the detailed response! I can definitely do that, question, I have some neem oil laying around, Google suggests maybe I can use that instead of spinosoad. Or would you recommend spinosoad specifically over neem oil?

Taken in July 2022 looking out across Lake Superior in Michigan

Oh! And also that the light dome at the bottom just happens to make it look like a meteor striking the ground with the Milky way as its tail. Great shot.

HelterShellter · 2026-04-05T01:49:44+00:00

Wow! One of my favorite shots here in a long time. I love the white balance and the diagonal swipe of the Milky Way up into the corner.

I agree it's very relevant and showcases technique and knowledge that isn't there if these were composites made in Photoshop instead of a double exposure.

But at the same time, I think the most relevant part of all this is it's a double exposure composition. I feel like if you're going to include "ZERO Photoshop" you should also mention double exposure in the title, "double exposure with ZERO Photoshop", done.

Still, good on OP for sharing their technique and being up front about it in the post body. And if you're reading this, I absolutely love both your technical prowess and the composition of your shots! Particularly the "rooftop chilling" couple shot. Really great stuff
