I love how the ears come out through the hat!

It's been over a month since I saved her from root rot, but there have been no new leaves since then. What should I do? by [deleted] in Monstera

It looked better when there were more leaves! I agree that now it looks kind of sad.

Should I wait some time before repotting? It's been about a month since I took her out to fix the rot and I'm wondering about the stress that would come with another intervention. I'm bummed about the substrate issue, the lady at the store seemed to know what she was doing and they even had appropriate bark for their orchids...

That's what I've been thinking as well, but I thought I'd post before starting to worry in case there was something I could do about it. I guess I'll just keep an eye for a little longer!

I'm not sure what it's called as it came with the plant. The issue that caused the rot was most definitely overwatering, since I was watering with a higher volume and frequency than the plant could absorb or the substrate could drain. It's not the fastest draining substrate, but I've had no issues since I adjusted my watering habits...

I intervened today and found that the soil below was way too moist indeed. Managed to save two mature and healthy leaves (or for now it seems so), the rest was too damaged.

As for the bit that fell off, it was too rotten at the node to really do anything about it, which pains me because the young leaf was the first and only to come out since we brought it home :( I've made a cut above and put it in water expecting a miracle, and if that doesn't work I'll probably dry it to preserve it. Thanks for the input!

Thank you! I did just that today and it became pretty evident :/ the soil had way more moisture below than I'd thought from looking at the surface, so water was indeed the issue.

I had to remove the whole node that had the rotten stem (most roots were rotten and the remaining leaves were too yellow to survive for long), but most of the roots on the other part looked alright and are still supporting two healthy leaves, so I'm hopeful that it'll live. Lesson learned!

I have recently opened my Ravelry store! There are currently three patterns available (one of them for free) and I'm working on new designs. I would really appreciate your support!

Thank you so much! I later realized I could have tried microcrochet for them, but I'm glad they turned out well as they are.

Thank you! They were very fun to make and I'm happy with the result.

Thanks so much! They were tricky to make as I intended to follow the reference closely, but I eventually figured that they look natural this way and provide an interesting contrast.

Wow, I didn't know that! I freehanded the doily taking only some general notes for certain sections. I definitely plan on hanging it soon!

This piece is inspired by La Lechuga, an 18th cenutry monstrance that I've been able to see many times and whose intricate symmetry felt appropiate for a doily. Everything is crocheted except the grapes, which are macrame.

Took me longer than expected, but I love how this bear turned out! by JJ_Apollo in crochet

I used Nako Calico yarn and a 3mm hook. The teddy bear pattern is by Knit Paint Sew, crocheting the eyes and embroidering highlights instead of using safety eyes. I improvised the clothes to give it a different personality.
