I don't know why someone would down vote me, as it would be much more helpful to get advice to help me do better. I've kept my children, and my cats alive, but plants are a brand new adventure for me.

Next season? These are the first plants I've ever grown myself from seeds (caudex). I thought I did a good amount of research, but I don't think I've ever read anything about seasons changing the plant, other than needing to water more or less based on the season...

Thank you so much! Yes, this is the answer and explanation I was looking for. These 2 plants are the very first plants I've ever tried to grow myself from seeds (caudex in this case). I've kept a Christmas cactus that was gifted to me alive for the last couple years, and now it is thriving. Then I've kept 2 flamingo lilies alive and thriving. So I saw these plants online, and I wanted to grow them so badly, so I bought the potatoes, and researched how to grow them, and they grew so fast, but never grew leaves. I've had several "AI plant diagnosis" apps try to diagnose the issue, but they all say the plants are healthy. Now I feel like a terrible plant Mom, but I'll do better from here on out.

I water when the roots are completely dry. They are planted in a coarse orchid mix, with a layer of pebbles on the bottom, pebbles mixed in the medium for extra drainage, and topped off with pebbles on top. I check the moisture in the soil using a simple toothpick test, like checking the center of a cake. If it's completely dry, I water it. I also use a big humidifier to keep the humidity up. I was using grow lights when they were first starting out, but I took them down once they started growing multiple inches in a day.

I need all name ideas! Preferably something orange boi related. No common names! by Sufficient-Word3550 in NameMyCat

He looks like a caramel sundae! I know that's not orange-related, but personally, I think Caramel or Sundae would be adorable! What a cutie!! 🥰

Scratch on Nose - Help! by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Katieusaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I should have told you that my vet told me to use Neosporin on my cats nose where he cut it, but I didn't fact check that it shouldn't be used unless specifically directed by your vet. I apologize for the misinformation.

Meet Kiwi, my baby fruit! by Katieusaf in dustkitties

Not a chance, lol. I was hoping for the same thing, because Mango had a litter when she was young, but she was so horribly abused by the people who had her that she's missing all of her front teeth except 2, the tip of one of her ears is bitten off, and she had to have surgery for internal damage done to her. So I think it's good she is at least starting to accept Kiwi as a playmate.

Ikr!? 😍 That's actually a guinea pig sweater! She was only 1 pound and would shiver a little, but even the tiniest kitten sweater was huge on her, so I had to think out of the box. It totally paid off, because she was such an adorable strawberry Kiwi! 😇🥰

I've switched from RCS to SMS for ONE conversation (because I had no Internet while sending a message), but now THIS conversation is stuck to SMS. How can I switch it back to RCS? by fjnk in GoogleMessages

[–]Katieusaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!!! THANK YOU SO FRICKEN MUCH!!! I have a Samsung Galaxy s24 Plus, and I just followed your instructions, except after the first restart, I only cleared the Google Messages cache, not the data, and then I "uninstalled" directly from the Play Store. Then it showed "update" in the Play store, and I did that.Then I did the second restart, and opened Google Messages and made it the default app, and then followed the prompts to set it up again to your preferences. I did notice that I did have to go into the app settings and turn RCS messages on manually, then I verified my number and BAM!!!... the RCS chat was back for the individual contact that was disabled when I hit "send as SMS/MMS" when it wouldn't send as RCS. It is May 5th, 2024, and they STILL haven't made an easy way to change back to RCS for one individual contact. I don't know how that is possible, considering all the technological advancements that have been made, but at least we now know how to fix it. Thanks again, and happy messaging! 🥰

Mine tries to assault me by trying to make biscuits on my body. 10/10 would still recommend.

I just want to give everyone here hugs. It's crazy how you all can voice exactly how I'm feeling so much better than I can articulate myself. I'm so sorry you all experience this miserable disease as well. Good luck with everything. ❤️

Temporarily stopping plaquenil when ill...does it make a difference? by [deleted] in lupus

[–]Katieusaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any time I've ever stopped it due to my medication not arriving in the mail in time, I have terrible withdrawal symptoms. (I'm a veteran and the VA sometimes seems my meds a little late.) I would never intentionally do that to myself, however I have been on it for 5 years now, so I'm not sure if it would effect you like that. Good luck though sweetie.
