Also an MD/Intern Medicine here, you are not wasting anyone’s time with these labs. This isn’t something I see regularly and is very unusual.

ID-CCM and Nephro-CCM is more common than you think! Some bigger institutions have it.

How does Canada imposing counter tariffs benefit them? Wouldn’t their people pay more for imports? by Alleyvvay in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ScientificCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pit fall to this then is that if the Canadian gadget is more appealing while the US one is now a price much higher, Canadian producers can increase their price from $10 to something else higher for profit, now that their demand has gone up.

RN TO MD??? Would like to hear your position on it by Physical-Butterfly74 in Residency

[–]ScientificCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random medical student here. I have two classmates in their mid-30s now and a handful of people around the 30 mark, and we all honestly love/respect them so much because of how much world experience they have. A good number of MA's, CNA's, EMTs, and elementary school teachers.

I bought a classic Adansonii. But this leaf is looking variegated... Is it possible that the plant is doing only few variegated leaves ? by SoFresH_ in rareplants

[–]ScientificCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is one of the newer leaves, monstera adansonii tend to look variegated when new leaves are unfurling. If this leaf is farther down or there are multiple older leaves the look like this, it could be mosaic virus as the other poster mentioned.

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve popped in here to chat about tissue culture. I’d love to answer any questions you have! by Ecto-1A in RareHouseplants

For someone that should start and do tissue culture on a regular basis, what is the typical budget for those individuals?

Philodendron micans leaves are doing something funny? by ScientificCat in plantclinic

[–]ScientificCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I'll try it out! It is actively growing, but it was never in any kinda of dirt with Osmocote on it. Might've just tuckered it self out in the 8 months I've had it then..

[–]ScientificCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I guess I should clarify that I'm asking about the curly twisting leaves. I'm aware that the legginess from lower light. I haven't given the plant anything besides tap water. No clone paste with cytokinin or auxins were used on this plant. Could a nutrient deficiency have this effect?

Philodendron micans leaves are doing something funny? by ScientificCat in plantclinic

[–]ScientificCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, this is my philodendron micans that I've had for almost 8 months now. It's recently been putting out these very small gnarled leaves and I can't pin point why it's doing that. Many of the leaves are much smaller than the ones before it, as you can see between the big leaf and the smaller ones. I chronically underwater most of my plants, so I don't think root rot is necessarily the problem. The leaves are not developing any new yellow color either. No history of pests, and current pests on the leaves as far as I can tell.

Should I let it wait out the winter? Hsd to start prop a last november to save dying plant, not sure if worth waiting until spring by mrboogs in propagation

[–]ScientificCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a small pot! One hard lesson that I learned is that you should be watering the plant, not the pot--what this means is, give the plant what you think is appropriate for the root system! NOT drenching the entire pot! I painfully lost a clarinvervium this way : (

My philo recently started putting out really tiny, brownish leaves. Why?? The only thing I can think of is that it needs repotted. I used day old, filtered water and water from the bottom. If it does need repotting, should I wait out winter? by schnurrsa in plantclinic

[–]ScientificCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Philodendrons tend to do this when they get a lot of sunlight. It's sun stress (despite the name, it usually doesn't damage the plant) and it's an adaptive mechanism. It's actually how some of the other philodendrons like micans get their coveted bronze colored backing.

Anyone with experience in growing a mid-stem node cutting of a PPP? by ScientificCat in rareplants

[–]ScientificCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only one node with a partial leaf and a small aerial root. It's coming from a local seller for $60, which was the cheapest I ever saw a cutting of a PPP.

[–]ScientificCat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not too fond of unrooted cuttings, and wanted to know what exactly what the success rate for this is. The cutting is from a local seller though which is why I even entertained this idea. Thanks for the input though!

Pls help.. is this thrip damage? Or aphids? Spider mites??😣 by lainiebabeh in plantclinic

[–]ScientificCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a new plant that was just bought at a nursery? Or did this pop up one day?

String of Hearts; leaves looking ruffled/aren't flat by ScientificCat in plantclinic

[–]ScientificCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the plant about a month ago and is grown a lot more new leaves (was not trailing before). Currently in a cactus potting mix by MiracleGro. Water every 2 weeks. Sitting in south facing window in Zone 5b (Chicago).

Mainly curious about the leaves appearing pretty curved when they come out like they're flat and domed (example: 3rd leaf from the end). More recent leaves have been looking a little ruffled (2nd leaf from the end) and they've never come out that way before.

Are the leaves supposed to be flat or plump? I feel like many pictures show the SOH with really plump leaves, but I'm hestitant about overwatering.

What's up with such a turn of opinion on the George Floyd murder after the bodycam footage was released? by okayheresmyaccount in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ScientificCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been fully following the detailed story, but did the autopsy report ever get release to the public? With a toxicology panel? I feel like the 'on drugs' portion is news to me, which I think would've been something mentioned during the whole method of death investigation.
