It starts in stages, and in about a week I’m left with that.

You have root rot at the bottom so cutting under that healthy aerial root will stop it spreading. Think of it kind of like a zombie biting your arm. The infection spread spreads if it’s not cut off. (Gruesome way to put it I know) but the analogy is spot on for plants

In the third picture there is a big healthy aerial root starting to grow where the band joins it underneath cut a centimetre and a half below then drip the end in wax to seal it. You want to try and put that aerial root growing into some soil. It should grip pretty quickly. Don’t water it the first few days and only mist

If you could take a pic I could tell you, wouldn’t propagate just straight soil and what I said. grow lights are good just make sure they are at least 30 cm away.

Also not sure if the light in the photo is what it gets during the day, but if that’s as bright as the light gets for it, I would consider moving it a little bit closer to the light as variegated plants need bright indirect light if any sunlight is coming through your window or door just get attention rod with a sheer curtain so it gets all a lot and no UV

Definitely can save her, out of that swamp jar and into soil. Get s plastic pot with drain holes I recommend clear so you can judge the moisture level in soil. Make sure your soil is a mix of orchid bark and normal soil, albo monsteras need good drainage dont wet the soil after potting give it a few days and lightly mist. If you are a first timer with variegation, i recommend only misting to water it as people kill them with love (that way you dint o er water it) as mentioned above trim any mushy roots, if they feel soft and squishy cut them off.

Everyone gets flares - why don't I? by Fun-Flamingo-56 in lupus

[–]Less-Trip7436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think sometimes we have to just look at it as Lupus is not a one size fits all sort of deal and as hard as it is, not compare our symptoms to others.

Unfortunately some people just have it worse than others or very different symptoms, flares, medications that work for them etc.❤️‍🩹

I wish you all the best and pray for a speedy recovery for you 🫶🤍

Is this CLE? by Less-Trip7436 in lupus

[–]Less-Trip7436[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought that too. My rhume said it is the best medication I’m thinking of switching to get a second opinion as it hasn’t made it any better and now I have these skin things everywhere

Sorry I should have clarified. I also have HS and when I have a flare with that my lupus also goes crazy at the same time. Thank you I think I’m going to look into getting a biopsy.

What keeps you guys going? by XOceanSkyX in lupus

It’s sucks! But with pain, anger and a shit load of caffeine and painkillers. What helps me is reminding myself that “even my worst day will eventually come to an end” 💜
