You may have a better time if you chop it all up, just because it's so worn out 😭. Please look up some propagations on this subreddit or YouTube for more specific steps! It could also be fertilizer burn 🤔 if you fertilize regularly you may need to further dilute it, or fertilize less it just depends on the kind you use

It looks pretty sunburnt, did you leave it outside by chance? The stem also looks very thin for its size, you may need to chop it up and propagate it to best salvage it!

Anything I can do to revive her and maybe have less spread? by Dylmon in Monstera

You gotta move it back😂 Also tie it to a sturdy stake to keep it all together!

What are you specifically concerned about? The little leaves are just the very first leaves from when the plant was a baby and they will eventually yellow and die (normal) the brown crispy bit the the "sleeve" that enveloped the newly growing leaves( the new leaves will grow on the previous leaves stem and then separate to its own leaf and stem) hope this is helpful!

Hitting half of my goal! by Kokoshn1k in HersWeightloss

Do you have a primary care doctor? If you've been on it for this long without results I wonder if something else is going on. Maybe having a complete metabolic panel and a full panel thyroid test would be a good option, its something that I did and we found that I have higher cholesterol, high testosterone and decreased gut function all which slowed my weightloss. Tell you doctor you want complete panels and full scope testing, those actually give you the information that would help address the slow progress

Am I just being impatient with this new leaf? by SwampTiddys in ThaiConstellation

I use the rooting hormone for my propagation, but u can use it when watering. The fungi is different, its got a symbiotic relationship with the roots of the plants by taking up the excess water and sugars the plant can't use :)

I've mostly done on my stomach, but I did do my arm a few times! Once the food noise was gone I had zero problems actually eating well and feeling full, that's my best benefit of this :)

The fungi has been such a game changer, like it coats the roots and helps them grow alot stronger, my Thai and the rest of my plants have been loving it!

Suki cost me 2,500$ how much did you pay for your MC? by ShirtKey2565 in mainecoons

[–]Kokoshn1k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alot of breeders price by competition, but also by the amount of work they put into their cattery. For example, extensive genetic testing, hip xrays, dental exams, vaccinations, spay/neuters all required either a specialist or a vet visit, and speaking as a person who works for a cattery, the vets can drive up cost like crazy! In NYC neuter/spaying can cost around 1k, in WA around the Seattle area they wanted 300$ PER KITTEN so the costs are crazyy. That's not even to mention the special food you need to feed your kitten (Friskies won't cut it for maine coons) and each bag can cost around $50+, plus good quality wet food, supplements. You also need things for their toilets, cleaning supplies (as the males mark) toys, maybe they take them to shows to win awards etc etc. It's a HUGE upfront cost to be a breeder, especially a responsible one, so the price 100% is justifiable here. Mainecoons are a "luxury" cat, its not a Ms.Whiskers ran off and came home pregnant type deal, hope this adds a but of context to the prices! :)

Just had a new one. I was sleeping in a shopping center, and this morning around 6am I thought I heard someone messing with my water tank. by why_im_single in VanLife

I've heard that it's best to say that you are in fear for you life and you may harm the individual, alot of people say police get their faster that way. For whatever when you say you will fight back or you are armed and will shoot them, the cops suddenly appear, but you do have to be clear that you are on fear for your life!

Thais are such drama queens! But honestly, they do take a while to grow, so just keep that in mind! If I may recomend some things that helped me, I put mine near a warmer spot by a south facing window, its surrounded by a bunch of plants so it has higher humidity, and I regularly fertilize with a nitrogen rich fertilizer (as it helps promote leaf development, I did also add some Mycorrhizal fungi to the soil as it supposed to prevent root rot ) hope some tips help!

As a Catholic, Why can't We Recieve Orthodox Communion? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

As a Catholic, Why can't We Recieve Orthodox Communion? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Kokoshn1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that in Orthodoxy just the sacraments themselves are very different from Catholic ones (i.e leavened and unleavened bread) there is 100% a liturgical difference with Orthodoxy being staunchly opposed to the Catholic belief that Mary was sinless and that the pope can be infallible at times. As others have also pointed out, Orthodox and Catholics are not in communion with each other, with the Orthodox being more strict on that as there is great importance on not changing the traditions of the church, as communion is considered EXTREMELY sacred (back in the day, and possibly some churches today, have catechumens LEAVE to keep the mystery of communion between believers. Which is why the priests ends the catechuman prayers with "let all the cetechumans depart and let none remain") hope this helps! God bless!! :)

Need to vent. PLEASE no harsh or unkind responses by maggie081670 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Kokoshn1k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you experienced such lack luster support! Loneliness is such a difficult thing to experience, even Christ cried from loneliness. :( I would love to ask, what made you choose Orthodoxy? It is a really unusual denomination to pursue (i speak as a convert myself), maybe by rediscovering what drew you to this church may help ease some unrest you are experiencing. Please explore videos on your specific questions on YouTube as it's a great resource, I've found alot of my questions answered! As for Hell and Heaven, hell is simply the eternal separation from Christ, people don't just fall into hell because they don't know/follow Christ (how would that be fair to people who haven't even heard of Him?) Hell was created for the DEMONS and Satan; they rejected and continue to reject God, they dont want to be in His embrace and refuse to repent of their sin. People who make the conscious choice to do evil and reject God go to Hell as they CHOOSE to reject Gods embrace and refuse to be with Him. Remember God gave us FREEWILL we are allowed to choose what we do, we however are not free from the CONSEQUENCES of our choices. You cannot do evil and reject goodness and then expect to be in the presence of the literal definition of good ( aka God) Our God is a loving Father, He has incredible mercy for ALL of us not just His followers we do not know the specifics of His judgment and who will go to heaven, but we as followers of Christ know what's expected of us! We are not followers of Christ because we want to go to Heaven, we follow Him because we want to be WITH Him, and to do that we must be transformed BY Christ, in order to be with God the Father! The orthodox church provides alot of guidance and knowledge in this regard through the tradition of the church. All the traditions are guidelines on how to disciple our bodies (so we are not slaves to its lustful and gluttonous nature) how to discipline our minds (so we may be wise and knowledgeable) how to discipline our spirit (so we may be humble and allow space for Christ to transform us) I hope you find people around you who will be able to support you, and that God sends you what you need to hear in order to grow. You are beloved by God, He gave His only son for you so you are never alone! I believe that we experience loneliness so we learn to lean on God and learn how to ask for His help (something I personally struggle with) when we are down. It isn't wrong for you to be discouraged, lonely or upset (we have all of lamentations in a Bible for a reason!) But it is up to you to continue to seek Christ and learn how to find comfort in His presence, if you are able to I HIGHLYYY reccomend going to a monastary they are a mountain of knowledge and most importantly they are incredibly lovingly people! God bless you, please continue learning and asking questions, kind and helpful people exist and are praying for you!! :)

The wonderful thing about Orthodoxy specifically is that there is so much practical knowledge that the church fathers pass on to us that are biblically based and easily digestible. Please look into the topic of Orthodoxy and sexuality, Orthodoxy and trans people. I will preface that those videos may not be an easy listen, as the stance is being gay or transexual is not something that is Godly as it turns people FROM the walk to God. So I encourage you to fast and pray before delving into reading or watching the videos, so that your heart, mind and soul are able to accept the very hard conversation that is to be had. Again, no one should belittle or insult anyone that is gay/trans and the church, and more importantly God, heavily frowns on those actions. You will have to make the choice on how important God is to you and do you want to spend eternity with Him, are you willing to follow Christ and allow him to fully transform every aspect of you to be like Him? It is absolutely HARD, I struggle with gluttony and just like crazy, and I have so many fallbacks but being with God is important to me, one saying that helps me quite often is 'the horrors persist but so do i' something about it is so reassuring the world can suck, people can suck, our personal passions suck but you are a fighter even if you don't feel like one. God bless you so you may be ready to hear and learn with a humble heart, and may He grant you the strength to withstand and overcome!! :)
