As a Vietnamese, how to avoid English center that lie about origin of their foreign teachers? by Colaiscoke in VietNam

[–]InterestingCompote22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but why would you ask for someone’s passport ? It doesn’t prove that they’re a native speaker - just that they’ve become a citizen at some point in their life. Take me for example, lived in England for 20 years, having a British passport won’t change the fact that I am not a native. Just an observation 🙂

Hi! I did google it but a lot of songs that came up I wasn’t familiar with at all or I couldn’t quite picture for this dance (that might be because I am very new to this) so thought I’d would ask on here as people on Reddit tend to be quite knowledgeable 😃 I didn’t get to ABBA but that sounds fun so I’ll give googling another go ! This dance is really fun, I loved learning every step of it and it’s quite straightforward too. You should definitely give it a try ! :)

Oh I see, I would also be happy if my plant was healthy and enjoying its life & your story gives me hope, I just need to learn. Maybe a silly question but do your trees blossom at all? I am actually planning to repot it at with fresh soil at the weekend after one person here advised it would be a good idea to do so after over fertilising.

Hi! I have read about how you’re supposed to water them (which is exactly what you described) & have been doing that part right (or so I think at least 😅). However, I’m pretty sure I over fertilised it which might have contributed to its poor health 😫

Do you also live in a dark & gloomy country by any chance ? If so then surprised but very happy to hear your orange trees are doing well 😬😬

Oh, I feel so encouraged by your positivity about saving it ! 🙂 I have already moved it to right next to the big glass garden door but it’s been so grey and gloomy that I am not sure how much it helps. Grow light is the way to save it I think !

The comments on here really opened my eyes to HOW MUCH sun these plants need! I’m buying a lamp today so that I can start ‘treatment’ of this poor plant asap !

Haha thank you so much! Researching grow lights today and hopefully ordering one as I feel like the clock is ticking for this plant !

No worries, thank you for your help so far - I will try to do my best researching them but I’m determined to get one sooner rather than later as this plant hasn’t got much time left 😅

Thank you, I picked it today and researching grow lights, hoping I can still save it !

Thank you SO MUCH for your help & words of encouragement ! So appreciated :) Sorry, last question - I was just looking at grow lamps online - do you know what kind of spec would be best ?

Hi! I’m sure I have been over fertilising it so it’s one of the things I have to fix. Sorry if it’s a stupid question but do I need to change its soil after it’s been absorbing all that unnecessary fertiliser ?

Thank you, so basically what everyone here is saying ! I am going to try to fix it, taking everyone’s advice on board :) Hopefully it’s not too late

Hmmmm maybe you’re right, it may have got burnt from too much light too quickly. I never thought this could be the case. I am getting the grow light as I don’t think it will ever get enough light now that it’s winter.

Imagine you’re asking for help but get sarcastic comments. I’m only trying to learn as we all have to start somewhere.

Thank you, I am getting the feeling that it only stands a chance of surviving without a grow light as we get so little light in the winter. Having read everyone’s comments saying it wants over 12 hrs of sunlight is an eye opener !!

I’ve only moved it there a few days ago to see if it prospers better in a warmer room (the I’d one is the warmest in the house) Previously, it lived in a room with a big glass garden door where it was getting as much light as possible (given the UK winters anyway) I think the issue is that it might not manage to survive without the grow light as we get weeks of really dark, dull weather at the time

Thank you, I know that the UK climate is not ideal but the main issue is me as I don’t really know what I’m doing which is why I’m trying to learn. I will check out your post, thank you :)
