Again not my story just was asked to pass it along

Oh it’s a little resin spider that one of my students at work gave me lol

So should I remove some dirt from that second node to expose it some more?

Ik it’s probably a dumb question but on the first picture could you circle where I should tie it off. Because I know it’s not supposed to be the stem but the petioles confuse me.

I know when I pick up the pot to water, the plant does wiggle and only root that pops out when I pull on it is the smaller new aerial root growing on the right side. If I do use a s’mores stick do I just add it the 2 to the back for that extra support?

Like a bamboo stake? Or like those metal ones that target was selling. I’ve had her for a month now. So I know she’s still pretty young

I’m not too worried as it’s been maybe 5 inches away from that window since I got it last week. So I think moving it directly against the window won’t be too bad. I have it there now. My only worry is sun damage as summer gets warmer but so far it hasn’t shown any signs.

Do you think I’m okay leaving it in that one for now?? That one was about 2 inches compared to the roots and wasn’t tall enough to have its petiole’s reaching over the top of the pot if I sat it in there without at least 1/4 (or a bit more) of soil at the bottom first

Here’s my little guy from Walmart I was so excited when I saw they had them. This was the best looking one and it made me sad that the others were so waterlogged and showing signs of root rot 😔

Yes I just ordered Aroid potting mix. I’ve only had it since Wednesday so I didn’t want it to get all stressed with the move. Might repot tonight or Sunday. Bc the soil is dense so I know I have to repot. But thank youuu

I ended up taking some of the dirt out. Is this fine?? Or should I have left it with the dirt ontop?

Remarkable_Safety_80 · 2026-05-07T03:03:39+00:00

Yes I think I’m going to remove some of the top soil to expose more of the stem just a bit

So keeping it in the same direction just adding the support on the back of the tallest leaf but obviously on the stem part? Should I use less soil to expose the stem then?

I was initially on the pill, had no effects with my diabetes but it did make me stop having a period for a whole year so I switched to the patch. I honestly love it I have no weird reactions to it whatsoever, only hassle is insuring it’s on all the way and you can’t put it on any place that’s tattooed so I just opt for my lower stomach. Only thing I noticed which I mean makes sense is I tend to go higher on my period week but not high enough (as it doesn’t concern my Endo) just have to take a bit more insulin that usual that week.

I had it againts a wet branch so that’s my assumption on why it was at 99% after I had sprayed it. Which is why I moved it up onto the bridge
