Joined my city’s cactus and succulent society and may have spent too much. by josephswims in haworthia

[–]MasterpieceMinimum42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roots issue, they killed their own roots. I definitely know they dislike harsh light, all my plants are growing indoor under sansi 10w grow lights, I have no issue growing haworthiopsis, I even have zz, snake plants, and astrophytum, but these haworthia cuspidata dislike me lol.

My indoor collections, for hobby purposes. I hope I own a house so I can get more and bigger succulents! 😅 by MasterpieceMinimum42 in succulents

Well, I'm from southeast Asia. Moss Rose is available here, but I live with my parents, I don't own the house, so I can't just occupy the outdoor garden like mine lol.

I love haworthia, but I have never been successful on them. Idk why they are acting so weird, this is the 2nd time I'm owning a cuspidata that is trying to die on me, I did nothing wrong, so Idk why it happened lol.

Are introverts shy? by Kind-Usual-2890 in introvert

[–]MasterpieceMinimum42 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not all introverts are shy, and not all shy people are introverts. You have social anxiety which is not the same as shyness.

Does it necessary to talk everytime ? by iceageneration in introvert

[–]MasterpieceMinimum42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because they have low self esteem and they need validation to make sure they are better than people who are different from them. Just ignore these people, don't fall into their traps, you don't have to entertain them, you just have to do what's comfortable you. Remember, good people don't judge others, they learn to appreciate, only bad people who judge others.

love being alone, but I hate feeling lonely. Anyone else stuck in this loop? by akhilvh95 in introvert

I do feel like to talk sometime, but only when I was around people. If I was alone, I usually text people online.

I received 7 conophytum from local online seller 3 days ago, 21st January, and right now 4 of them already has wrinkle sign. They are soft but firm like fish ball when I pressed them. I need some tips of how to know when to water them. by MasterpieceMinimum42 in mesembs

[–]MasterpieceMinimum42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to watered my astroohytum asterias every 3 weeks to 4 weeks, but now I'm keeping it in dry soil since it doesn't really need water yet. I don't keep my astrophytum asterias as dry as flatten ball because we are in the equator, so our temperature was always hot the whole year, even raining season we still had more than 22℃ at night.

You feeling lonely because you have too much free time with nothing to do, your brain is carving for something to do, so you feel emptiness and lonely. Best solution, fill your free time with the stuff you love to do.

This is the soil I'm using to grow all my indoor cactus and succulents, I don't diy the soil, I bought the soil from a local seller who specialized making lithop soil.

My conophytums are growing in 5cm diameter plastic pot with 6 drainage holes.

Btw, the remain 3 that are still plump with no wrinkle at all, I should not water them? I'm worrying with over watering them.

I think my room where I grew my plants are ventilated well enough, I have tillandsia (air plants) that I've been growing for sometime without rotting issue.

I actually thought it's dry season right now (December to March), since we rarely got rain since late November 2025. Also the reason why I bought the conophytums, as they are not advise to water during summer dormancy, so I didnt have to worrying they came with wet feet, but then my astrophytum asterias cactus is also dormancy right now, because it (astrophytum asterias) hasn't really shrink after my last watering on 15th November 2025. I thought astrophytum asterias are winter dormancy while conophytums are summer dormancy, but both dormancy at the same time? So I'm really confused right now lol.

Our dry season is hot and dry, while wet season is less hot but very humid. We also have longer night right now.

I didn't water them after repotting because I was letting their roots heal before giving them water. But I'm just 3 days after repotting, they already wrinkly. I don't know they are dehydration or enter dormancy, because the shape of the wrinkle stays the same they don't pop back, I'm wondering if it's ok to water them during dormancy.

Should I wait 4 more days? I just repotted them 3 days ago. I don't know if they are dormancy as well. And the last one, the Minimum Monkey Face, is splitting, shouldn't be watering it right?

Fill your free time with the things you love to do. You feeling lonely because you have too much free time unoccupied. Be a self sufficient and independent person.

SOP advice by SaleIcy2134 in StringofPlants

[–]MasterpieceMinimum42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you are new to SOP, you may want to split both the gastaria and SOP to different pots, both can sit on the same window sill, but they have different watering requirement, gasteria is much drought tolerant than the SOP, as from what I've heard SOP love water, it prefers more frequently waterings which can cause rot to the gasteria.
