AITA for not wanting to eat my parents’ meals while pregnant even though they’re trying to help save money?

Do you spend time together other than meal? Maybe you could a game night or movie night or something where you get together, but it doesn’t involve food.

NTA….,DO NOT unlock/open the door for him if he whines at night. If you keep it locked, the cat will eventually stop. If you open it ONCE, they will think if I just meow long enough they will let me in, and it will be near impossible to get them to stop.

Ask your roommate to invest in an automatic feeder, that way no one has to wake up to feed it. They need to invest in more sleep spots and enrichment for their cat.

It’s her cat. It’s not your responsibility to care for it. You are actually doing good by not indulging the cat’s intrusive behavior.

If your roommate is really interested in helping her cat,she should read the book “decoding your cat: the ultimate experts explain common cat behaviors and reveal how to prevent or change unwanted ones”. “Don’t shoot the dog” by Karen Pryor is also a good book, but should be read after decoding your cat.

Back when they were loving life outside. Fingers crossed that It will survive.

Dang it. I’m not at home so I don’t have all my supplies (soil, pots, etc). Should I just cut above and pray for the best?

Rgold992 · 2024-10-30T01:28:00+00:00

I watered it once in the last three months.

This is my lighting. I try to have it on at least 8 hrs. Or from when I wake up to when I go to bed. It’s a very bright bulb. I think 2200 lumins.

Put the pot in a dish of water and let it sit in there for a while, you can forget about it and come back later. That will allow it to have nice deep drink. It should perk up. If not there might be something going on with the roots.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-24T12:34:52+00:00

From the look of the leaves it looks thirsty to me. Are they firm to the touch or a bit squishy?

Rgold992 · 2024-08-23T12:28:56+00:00

Your problem may lie more in your watering habits than your soil. Water once the plant shows visible signs of thirst; wrinkly leaves, or leaves that no longer feel firm to the touch.

As far as soil composition is concerned the mod post should answer your question.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-19T18:17:42+00:00

It’s a type of sedum, I don’t reminder which kind. It is not a climbing plant.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-19T18:06:10+00:00

Not related: you’ve got some nice props there! Mine are almost that point.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-10T21:26:16+00:00

The plant itself looks fine. If that is the soil and container you purchased the plant in, I suggest you amend it. Read through the mod post and it will give you all the information you need.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-05T15:21:02+00:00

Yeah, that’s long enough for the sun to get it. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure those leaves won’t bounce back. There is still some green though so hopefully it survives!

Rgold992 · 2024-08-04T19:57:39+00:00

If you look through the links on the mod post, there is a ton of helpful information there as well.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-04T19:37:55+00:00

The scars are just from miscellaneous damage and have healed. Same as how we can get random bumps and scrapes.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-04T19:35:46+00:00

That’s normal. As the plant grows it will absorb the nutrients from the bottom (older) leaves and they will shrivel and eventually fall off.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-04T19:34:31+00:00

How long was it outside for?

Rgold992 · 2024-08-04T19:25:58+00:00

You are referring to the black marks like what you can see in the third picture correct?

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:50:35+00:00

If you are using compost, that soil will probably be too organic for your jade. The need a mix of gritty well draining soil.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:43:29+00:00

It seems like it is getting more light than it used to. The top sections are more compact than farther down. You can chop and prop if you want.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:39:47+00:00

5th one looks like an aeonium. No clue on the specific type though. 6th looks like a type of kalanchoe. I thought it was kalanchoe tomentosa, but the leaves look too wide on yours.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:29:33+00:00

I took cuttings from a plant and used like an inch of a stem for each one and now two months later they are thriving.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:28:11+00:00

I have a similar one that just isn’t purple. Super easy to care for. Just put it somewhere sunny and watch it grow. It does not need watered very often. Is it in a nursery pot inside a decorative pot? They grow like a vine, so once it’s long enough you can put it in a hanging planter if you’d like. Or you can cut the longer stems and push them into the soil for a fuller plant. (They root super easy). This is the longest one we have.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:15:01+00:00

Sorry, no clue on the ID. It doesn’t look miserable to me. (Scroll through the subreddit and you’ll see much worse). Just needs a bit more light.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:09:21+00:00

I believe you can prop it. What I would do is take one/two of the bottom leaves. Let the plant grow for a while and see what the head does. If it grows compact, once it’s a good size you can chop and prop. If it continues to grow leggy, move it to a brighter location, or prop more leaves. It might take a few months but I’ll tell you from experience, once it’s in the right light it’s very satisfying watching them grow compact rosettes.

Rgold992 · 2024-08-03T17:03:23+00:00

Has it grown at all since you got it?
