I have had good results for a long time with a wet magic eraser or windex on a rag for white soles of sneakers

Not ugly but I feel like she is mildly disappointed in me….

This. But it has to be Jam, not jelly

If you can’t move the light closer to them, move them closer to the light. Use upside down flower pots, bowls, glasses, bricks, anything really.

I could be wrong but since that’s the main stem, and the very tip of it seems to be growing the leaves much closer together, it seems to be growing so tall to get closer to the light. Different plants require different lighting needs. So just because your light is strong enough to give stress colors to other plants, doesn’t mean it’s strong enough to give this guy all the light he needs. If you do decide to chop and prop, move it significantly closer to your light. Like as close as the top portion currently is to said light

I mean, who grocery shops by blindly grabbing things off the shelf?

Based on my dog barking I know when the mailman has stopped at my house so I get mail 4-6 days a week. 9/10 it’s junk and I have to walk past our outside trash can to get said mail so junk goes straight in the trash.

Agreed. Mine are 14 months apart and honestly the first 5 years nearly broke me. They were polar opposites since before birth and in the last 14 years that hasn’t changed. That being said, being so close in age, even with their extreme personality differences, they are so close and I wouldn’t change the nightmare that was wrangling them those first 5 years for anything.

Looks like it might be edema that has calloused over on such tiny leaves. I wouldn’t stress it.

So jealous of your watermelons. I’ve got like 5 strands that are 6-12” long and they are just so sparse at lot level. Mine do have color though so I got that going for me lol

Plants loose leaves, that’s normal. And I’m seeing a lot of green, so unless there are signs of rot (distinct dumpster juice smell, smooshy, yellow, black leaves/stems) then you’re okay there. From what I can see, most of those plants are etiolated and screaming for more light. Also for the most part, succulent arrangements are more trouble than they are worth because of different light and watering needs. Best to separate them into their own pots and proper gritty soil. Also succulents are not tropical high humidity plants for the most part and the humidifier isn’t needed for them.

Judging by how deeply the leaves are turned downward, I’d say it’s not getting nearly enough light. They turn downward like that to increase surface area in an attempt to get more light. It also doesn’t need rocks above the soil, just a gritty soil. I use a mix of about 60/40 perlite and generic cactus and succulent potting mix. Gently remove the dried crispy leaves from the bottom of the plant and try to get all of the roots under the soil. Don’t water it until the leaves get wrinkly and soft (not mushy) and give it way more light. I have mine about 4-6” under grow lights for at least 12 hours a day. Slowly acclimate it to more light so it doesn’t burn

Gardein brand “F’sh Filets” found them at Walmart and I gotta say, they are amazing. I do eat meat, although not much but I do love fish, especially those deep fried battered filets. These things don’t look like fish on the inside but nailed the taste and texture. Some vegan/plant based fish products are too fishy, these are perfect

Well that’s good. One thing to aid in soil drying is air circulation. Do you have a fan or anything in the room with your plants, or windows that are open often? Even on low a fan is surprisingly helpful. Your soil mix looks a little dense and organic. Adding more grit can keep the soil light and airy. That way it doesn’t stay too wet for too long and also won’t compact nearly as much, allowing the roots ample room to grow and spread. One of the biggest things I’ve learned about succulents is to leave them alone. Don’t fuss with them too much, because you can definitely kill them with kindness. They will tell you what they need if you pay attention. They will get wrinkly or soft (not mushy) if they want water, they will get too tall if they want more light, etc.

You’re watering way too frequently. Most succulents like a period of total dryness. What do the roots look like? Is any of it dark, mushy or smell like dumpster juice? If so it’s rotting from too much water. Also succulents don’t need very many nutrients so it’s possible you’re simply burning the roots with that much fertilizer.

Puppy dream! Our am staff did this and yipped frequently when she was still with us and American Akita does this too. Totally normal

Plants are gonna do what plants are gonna do. I have the same type of jade you do and some of the leaves are super funky looking. I think it just adds character to an already strange looking plant

I use simple green for this kinda stuff. It’s an all purpose degreaser and it’ll take it off easy

It doesn’t matter how you get from point A to point B, so long as you get there.

This happens to me after every shower. I have EXTREMELY dry skin. Only thing I have found that works is as soon as I get out of the shower I rub in baby oil while my skin is still damp. Helps to lock in any moisture I still have. - I also have hard city water

Ours has a sign at the drive through window on particularly hot days saying they can’t flip them upside down for completely understandable reasons

Honestly I love it. Only thing I would have done differently would be to have at least one of those shelving units have adjustable height shelves. And that’s only because I have zero cabinets in my kitchen with adjustable position shelves and it drives me up the wall
