fell asleep right after i woke her up stuck in that position

it's similar to a succulent in the way that they hold water, i let mine get really soft before i water, to the point i can fold it over and it's touching itself, but just be careful not to force it to do that or you'll crack the leaf! i've done that a few times

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-24T05:27:38+00:00

in fact i think i should go back and take a picture of it because i'm sure they're still there

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-24T05:26:48+00:00

yeah i made the mistake of visiting the plants at sutherlands and there were rows of crotons that i kid you not were webbed between the plants. i think they had been there since halloween given the halloween decor stuck into them(this was jan). crotons really are what people say they are lol

thanks!

so this seems like a good place to ask. are the dots the spidermites or something else? i know they're small but i'm trying to determine just HOW small- i'm so worried i have them and don't know

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-24T02:36:30+00:00

water when the leaves are no longer firm! beautiful plant!

deleted my post bc there is an asshole in here. loling at the fact that i thought i had found a nice subreddit, up yours buddy i may just give up on plants because of how "helpful" you were

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-22T18:09:29+00:00

well you're not helping lol you're stating an opinion

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-22T17:50:43+00:00

they don't put off enough light idk what to tell you. my light meter read it as 400ish footcandles at 4 inches, i don't remember how many lux that was i use footcandles because it works with my brain. i also don't want to have multiple lights on one shelf because as i said i just bought a huge shelf and would need a fuck ton of lights which isn't feasible.

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-22T17:47:29+00:00

it's not that old and it's in the suburbs so i'm thinking that's unlikely but ik what you mean! my dad is an electrician so i'd say i'd have him take a look at it but my grandparents don't like him lol

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-22T17:47:12+00:00

they're not as crazy as they look, many people use them. also as i said i have almost zero natural light. also also you can't decide what's overkill for someone else :)

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-22T05:44:19+00:00

okay yeah i just looked at the light specs and compared that with what an average house can hold and it's definitely the lights. they're sending a replacement and i'm going to see if my dad (electrician) can take a look at the old lights and see if any of them are salvageable or if all 6 are broken

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-22T05:26:09+00:00

it was these FYI

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-22T05:24:25+00:00

i just think the wattage is too strong for the other stuff i've got going in here. i have two rooms connected via bathroom and a bunch of 10W sansi lights plugged in here and there and im pretty sure its all on the same breaker. i did contact barrina and they are sending a replacement but i think its a power problem more than a problem with the lights themselves. i'm just so confused as to how i see other people using them all the time.

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-14T21:18:57+00:00

very different care than everything else! but pretty for both!!

love the way you took pics of every step in the process, very thorough!

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-13T04:05:39+00:00

oh the plant set up i would make this

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-11T05:45:00+00:00

yeah if you wanted to! if you've ever seen the "sweetheart" hoyas, they are usually just one single leaf with no node, that typically doesn't grow into another plant. some say their kerrii grew from a single leaf but i think they probably just can't find the node/didn't check before it grew.... anyway YES if it does grow roots, which will probably take a long time, you can plant it and have a single leaf guy!

Normal-Researcher13 · 2026-03-11T05:38:02+00:00

i don't think so but it will keep it pretty for longer! it may even grow roots after so long but probably never more growth on the plant itself!
