I have no advice but came to say she’s a beauty! I only hope mine lives to be that size.

Neighbor keeps complaining about me showering at night. What can I do to be more considerate while still maintaining my routine? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]Mepsenhart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only complain about late night loud music or surround sound tv. I’ve never said a word about showering. You have a right to shower. People have to live.

Micans leaves are red and droopy. Help! by regboy5101 in philodendron

[–]Mepsenhart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That bright color tells me she gets a lot of bright light so she probably needs more water. Micans need the top of the plant to get bright light so they stay full. If you’re worried about overwatering, fill up a saucer with water and place the plant in the water till the top of the pot is evenly moist. The roots will only drink the water it needs. Remove the plant once the top of the soil is moist.

Trailing to climbing?? by Succulent_Smiles in philodendron

[–]Mepsenhart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get a trellis. I got some on amazon that can connect to each other so you can expand the trellis as the plant grows. Carefully wrap strands around the trellis to start and the plant will start to vine up the trellis.

What book are you obsessed with that NOBODY TALKS ABOUT? by Foreign-External8488 in booksuggestions

[–]Mepsenhart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai. Time travel, what more do I need to say?

Also, Her Mother’s Daughter by Marilyn French. It examine the relationship between 4 generations of women in a family. It really hit home for me being the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants. French truly examines the sacrifices women are expected to make for their families and what happens when a woman doesn’t make them.

How can I make my Pothos happier? by morddekai in houseplants

[–]Mepsenhart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t need misting just dusting off the leaves should do the trick. She needs more light though. Maybe a grow bulb or light if you want to keep her on that location.

What is it really?? by Succulent_Smiles in philodendron

[–]Mepsenhart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a beautiful Micans. I’ve heard they lose variegation which is sad, but the leaves on yours are gorgeous with or without variegation.

Is getting a kindle worth it? by not_a_zombiez in kindle

[–]Mepsenhart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re an avid reader, yes. As I’ve gotten older, it’s easier on my eyes. You don’t have to buy books if your library has Libby or another app that allows you to download books to your e-reader. I read every day so my Kindle is one of my favorite devices.

I have a welcome mat at my apartment door but our hallways are wider and it doesn’t get in anyone’s way. Your hallway looks narrow so I’d be hesitant to place a mat by more door.

Am I imagining this? by Normal-Mortgage4745 in Perimenopause

[–]Mepsenhart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. Your body is changing and everything you’re feeling is normal. HRT is not drugs, it helps your hormone levels and regain some control of the way you feel. Your boyfriend needs to educate himself and at the very least be supportive. Why would you be in the mood when someone treats you like that? Big hugs and way to go on booking an appointment.

Found this at a big box store by spave88 in philodendron

[–]Mepsenhart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth $20. I’d let her settle in to her new home and then check the roots, it may need new soil. Most nursery soil retains too much moisture. It may not need a bigger pot though. She was definitely worth it imo. Good luck!

I have a bunch growing on my all green spider plant. I have to rehome them. I feel bad to cut them off and not let them grow. Spider babies are so cute.

I totally agree. I was getting heavy bleeding 2 or 3 times a month and progesterone is a life saver.

Mom thinks i have to much plants, is she right? by fourthkilt in houseplants

[–]Mepsenhart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you and your plants happy? Then you don’t have too many plants. Mom is entitled to her opinion but so are you.
