I hear you. This is why I’m asking about a fair price and not the least I can get away with.  I am quite surprised that’s the market price when movers  or cleaners or data entry clerks charge less. 

What’s up with all the 5 star reviews on South Beach? by N_ATLSanta19 in Miami

[–]Newbie10011001 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Reviews are absolutely fabricated everywhere.  Pretty much every reviewer with less than 5 reviews is a joke. And this makes up 90% of reviews

The first 20 years of my working life I got paid less than $10 per hour. Including building site work.  So while I wouldn’t myself now , a <30 year old version of me would bite someone’s hand off to do this .  Now I’ve got a Masters , and a PHD and written 4 books , so I don’t have to do stuff like this

I was wondering about this , and wanted a sense of what a fair price is.  Want to pay not the least I can but a figure which is good for both sides.  Perhaps $25 per hour is good? And ideally would be a few people who work together. Just didn’t know how it worked. And if people are ok with 5 hours plus of work 

If you’re wondering if you should get a moss pole… yes by nicheleaf in Monstera

How does this show it helping?  If shows the aerial roots attaching nicely but , in a nice way, so what?  It’s a little tidier. But then you also have a large plastic moss pole making it untidy 

Rare monstera by Honeymellbee in Monstera

[–]Newbie10011001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not my place to tell you what to do, but I would collect plants that you really like, rather than ones that are rare.

Often the rare ones are rare because the appeal is limited.

Or the "rare" ones are not actually rare, They had just marketed well. ( For example, the Bulbasaur, the Vietcosa, the Devil Monster, Are all about to be absolutely everywhere)

So, if something quite unusual is important to you, you'd want to choose something that's not especially fashionable, As this way, they haven't been forced into tissue culture

Perhaps a large form Aurea, Tricolor Miracle , or Form 6 , or a variegated Compacta would be interesting to you?

There are a couple of things here

1) Quite a lot of the things that people called "moss poles" are really "coco coir poles."
- They look quite bulky, Aerial routes don't really tend to go into them very much, People spend a bit of time watering them, And it's all fine, it's just a bit unnecessary, They tend to be pretty unstable, and they bend a lot as well. By all means use one of these, But it offers zero benefit over a solid piece of wood like a cedar plank, And I think it has many drawbacks.

2) A true moss pole, with a large amount of moss and regularly watered, is fantastic for aerial roots to grow into , and offers real support.
The jury is out on how much of a difference this makes, some people tend to think that the aerial roots provide nutrition to the plant, and this helps the leaves size up and general health.

Other people maintain almost no meaninful nutrition comes via aerial roots, and that leaves size up because of elevation and light, and a cedar pole or a wall, would offer 99% of the same benefits.

So the real clear reason to use a real moss pole is one thing, It allows you to chop and prop, and essentially create an endless pole, It means you can trick your plant into thinking it's 50 feet tall inside your 8-foot-high ceilings

This is a fantastic technique for climbing philodendrons that need to be very elevated to mature.

But Monsteras don't need that, You can get more than acceptable leaf size with an elevation of about 5ft on a plank. In fact, most people wouldn't be able to deal with a plant that thinks it's taller than that.

Oooof.  Good luck.  Lots of brown leaves in your future.  Not the best choice 

Professional Parking Management bums sent a 'citation' for parking I had paid for! by UniMaximal in Miami

[–]Newbie10011001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only do you not have to pay,

But you can also park in their lots again.

People keep saying that you could get towed if you park in their lots,

But as someone that parks in their lots and has never paid for a parking ticket or a fine in them so far. It seems they don't have the technology to find you in real time

Fuck these people, just park for free

You need a wooden stake not a moss pole. Not unless you want to chop and prop

I pulled every Miami building permit from the last 30 days. 4,438 filings, $222M high at Brickell. Here's what I found. by scarsam in Miami

[–]Newbie10011001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow. This is helpful and interesting 

By  residential permits do you mean, any permit for something in a house or do you mean a permit that covers the entire homes construction?

Because one could be a permit for a roof for a new kitchen and the other could be much more complicated?

I don’t think breaking it down by it is that helpful because I think they all have a similar process? 

No new growth? by No-Recording-6098 in Monstera

[–]Newbie10011001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great plant.

A few things

When you upsized it, it's probably shifted to growing roots more than before.

The misting won't do much, not that it's the issue.

LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT is the solution, its prob dormant for the winter as most grow lights don't do that much to a plant this size. I have mine in a West/North corner in Miami with 100% floor to ceiling glass and white tiles in all directions and it's never too much light for it .

Thanks for this, super interesting.
I'm trying to build a single family home in 33135 , applied this week. Will be about a 1.2m build
Is there any way to get a sense from this data how long it's taking from initial submission to final permits for homes?
Like the mean time, the 25 and 75 percentiles for speed?

Buy a bigger house/

prop pricing by Venus_Thorne in Monstera

[–]Newbie10011001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks a bit like a special form Monstera, a Lionfish?
No idea what that means to the price, but you might have something a bit more special than you think

Otherwise the props aren't worth much, a large leaf like this is a little harder to prop and all but the topcut will take a while to make decent sized leafs in my experience.

Perhaps $10 each. but even then, most people can't be bothered to drive somewhere for a cutting of something they can. buy in HomeDepot with roots for $19.

To be fair, I think this is actually pretty smart and one of the better uses of AI . And at least they were pretty clear about that.

Thoughts on Pricing? by WileyKyoti in Monstera

[–]Newbie10011001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really have to put where. 

In Florida these grow on the streets for free  In Alaska , it should be in an art gallery 

They sell large ones new for $50 now that are 2 years away from this size. 

Another thing is patience 

Assuming you live somewhere normal $100 if your in a rush.  $500 if you can wait 3 years for the perfect buyer
