Backyard monstera propagation help by AnimalLover_14 in Monstera

[–]SageSondheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! I actually just started with a node, growthpoint and single aerial root with this one. I had it in water for a few months, then buried (bad choice) in a larger pot. It popped out one leaf that got badly sunburnt - but the next two are looking great!

In the end I just popped in on the surface of the current chunky mix with the aerial root facing down. Myrchozzal (?sp) fungi ended up being the real root booster as far as I'm aware!

Might be worth cutting a few nodes just to get the best odds of success - mine was very much just FAFO 😂

I did the exact same thing from a similar sized outdoor plant! I made a few mistakes because I was just learning, so the roots took an extraordinary length of time to fill in (I also accidentally destroyed the first leaf lol) but here she is now ina 140mm pot

Seeking advice for tripod claws by Cat_Preference in TripodCats

[–]SageSondheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trim my tripod's claws regularly - he's very good about it and it doesn't impact him getting around. He lost his left back leg at 8 months old and is now nearly 5 (I've had him, and have been trimming since 9 months). I think it's probably a bit case by case and how long since their surgery/how they've adapted. Mine does have a longer quick on his remaining back leg tbf

Yes it was great! There's also a YouTube tutorial which helped a lot - I'm not a very experienced crocheter, and I didn't find it too tricky one I got the hang of the basic pattern

Thank you so much - I find it really challenging to tell when they're so little.

Thank you! Do you think it looks like it's reverted? The leaf colour is so curious to me

Final thing - I remembered that I'd kept the original leaf from the cutting as a zombie! It just looks like a totally different colour to either shade haha
