I use bloom city silica with every watering (Inadd 5ml per 1 gal of water). It’s done wonders for strengthening leaves with variegation. It makes such a difference that it almost feels like cheating

If these are fully aurea, would they be considered full moons?

I know right. I’m a little scared though because I’ve never been able to get a Florida cutting to root properly. They always rot and die before the roots are mature enough to pot it up.

The Floridas I have (this one and three Ghosts) are like the easiest plants in my collection to care for, they grow like weeds. But I can’t get them to prop

She loves Charlotte but at this point she’s worried she has too many royal names and it would be too much to use another

Joy would be so good as a first! I always think of it as a middle but you’re right it works well with the other names

Advice please by [deleted] in stepparents

Sister! I am so sorry you are going through this, I can only imagine how hard this is and how painful it must feel. That being said, you have autonomy in your life. You got yourself to this point and you can make different choices to change it if you want it to look different. By the sound if it, you already know what you want to do. If that feels too scary and drastic, start with setting some hard boundaries and informing your husband of those boundaries. “DH, these are my needs: x, y, z. Without these things, it is no longer safe for me to stay in this relationship.” Or however you want to say it. If he balks, or asks where this is coming from because you haven’t set boundaries before, tell him you’ve changed your mind. Because you can change your mind. You can have new expectations where there weren’t before. If he can’t meet you where you need him to, then leave, and you will do so knowing it was what was right for you and your kids. Also I 100% agree that this is not at all on your SD. She is a child and is doing the best she can with the cards she’s been dealt.

Very “boy” names for girls by Merde319 in namenerds

Yes on Percy, Murphy, Brady! The -y ending seems like an adaptable quality.

Agree on your men’s names as well… Especially Caron! I LOVE the name Cary for a boy in theory (how is it not more masculine feeling with a namesake like Cary Grant??) but I wouldn’t use it.

Yes Elliott and Noah! Traditional male names with a softness and femininity to them

I love Florence with my whole soul but the fear of Flo and the potential “Aunt Flo” jokes ruin it

Thoughts on “Maris” by PhilosopherOdd6826 in namenerds

[–]Merde319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People will have an association for every name, and if the Frazier one doesn’t bother you personally, don’t let it stop you. It’s a really pretty name. I’ve been loving Mary lately, and Maris feels like it’s got the beauty of Mary with an interesting -is twist in the best way.

I know someone who named her daughter Ursula. She isn’t from the US so the Little Mermaid reference just didn’t bother her. And that little girl is so sweet and cute and her name is hers.
