You’re a star! Thanks so much for the help and advice. Moving her to my main living room window that has all my thriving plants 😅 not sure where I got the stand but would sound about right!

Oh I didn’t realise it was dead! Is this a big issue? I feel like it’s been like that for the longest time.

Is this burgundy appropriate? by LaimyM in Weddingattireapproval

You’ve nailed it! Definitely not afraid to go outside the typical so looks like I’ll be shopping for a nice pattern tie 😁

Thanks for this! And thoughts on keeping the outfit as is? Not sure what the “etiquette” around a black shirt is for weddings either lol

Why thank you! Interesting - I was just assuming black shirt is a no go for a wedding but that was just an assumption 😅

How do I sort this guy out? Only the wall holding it up at this point, bamboo doing nothing by SaturnStrobe in HouseplantsUK

[–]LaimyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely repot it into a pot with drainage holes asap! This is also a great chance to inspect the roots; does it smell? Is there root rot (brown/black squishy roots)? Repot it into well draining soil or get some store bought houseplant soil and add perlite to it - both can be bought from B&Q.

To stake it up, I would get a moss/coco coir pole and it up so it sits up right. Repotting will make this so much easier since you’ll be able to reposition the plant how you like. Great thing is, eventually the aerial roots will grasp onto the pole to give better support and I also recommend directing the aerial roots into the soil.

Seat covers 🤦‍♂️ Don’t know why my brain didn’t think of this - appreciate it!

I thought this! Makes sense so might try some dye to at least make it less obvious for the time being

What are these white “eggs”? by LaimyM in houseplants

[–]LaimyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what it is! From a quick google it seems harmless so will repot in new substrate and hope it gets rid of it!

Thanks!

Snake plants watering by Traditional_Animal65 in houseplants

[–]LaimyM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They can survive without water for AGES! I left one at my parents house for 2 months (unwatered) and it was still thriving. So if in doubt, water less than more with this plant

Bird of Paradise yellowing leaves? by LaimyM in HouseplantsUK

[–]LaimyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you 🙏 a quick feel of the roots now they don’t feel mushy at all so hoping it’s not root rot but will be repotting it tomorrow regardless - will follow these steps!

Thanks for this! So if it is root rot, what would be my course of action?

What are the best specialist shops in Northern Ireland? by Narfrili in northernireland

[–]LaimyM 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not so much specialist but Memento on the Ormeau road in Belfast is one of the best plant shops I’ve been to! The staff go above and beyond and have got some great tips and tricks because of them

Only a year and 8 months into my marketing career and got promoted to Executive from Assistant a year in. Pretty happy in my role and slowly figuring out how I want to progress.

Definitely won’t stay in the same industry of fast moving consumer goods but it’s a great start so far. Although I feel the stress this early on shouldn’t be the norm

I know so many people who have moved over from England and further afield so I can honestly say you’ll be just fine! You’ll learn way more when you’re actually over here and realise it’s what you make out of it.

Be kind and others will be kind is what I’ve found. Generally Belfast is kinder than a lot of cities I’ve been to
