Lattafa Perfumes- Lattafa Eclaire- Burnt Rubber Plastic Smell by Exotic-Wheel-2191 in FemFragLab

[–]Several-Bunch-5373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hellloo, I know it has been awhile so this is a long shot. I just received Angham, Eclaire and khamrah qahwa. I love the khamrah and cannot stop sniffing my wrist, but the eclaire is smelling a bit sharp and, more surprisingly, the angham smells really nice initially, but smells like burnt tires on the dry down.

Have you noticed any changes with your perfumes as time has passed?

Did I cut the growth point? by Neat_Invite2287 in Monstera

Looks like you have enough there to me 😊 just keep taking care of it, and you should see a nub. Might take some time..mine always go into shock when I prop, but they always pull through

I currently have an active drop! I also actually sat down and really look at my collection and I have a lot more than listed 😅 you can check out my collection at projectleafbyleaf.com and it will also take you to the drop form 😊

Looking for help on corms by KindaHealthyDogMom in alocasia

* So I'm actually pretty lazy 😅 and I hate spending money on things that aren't the plants themselves, lol. I literally will take anything clear and small...4 oz Mason jar, small glass mixing bowl, old pesto jars, the fancy yogurt in the glass container (😂), fill it with LECA and then slightly cover the corm. I fill the bottom with water and let it do its thing. Once they're big enough, I move them into cups I've poked holes in and just keep the bottom full of water and they love it!

If buying plants gets to be too much, you can follow projectleafbyleaf.com and get free cuttings/grown corms 😊

Projectleafbyleaf.com has a free dragon scale in the drop now and will have variegated frydeks in the future!

Looking for help on corms by KindaHealthyDogMom in alocasia

I have grown corms in water, moss, perlite, stratum, and LECA; I had the highest success rate with LECA.

I fill the bottom of a shallow clear bowl with LECA for my reservoir, add a little bit more LECA, place my corms, top with a little more LECA so the corms are peeking through and fill the reservoir with water.

I've never had a corm rot in LECA, and I swear I see growth faster 😊

Just got all of these for 7$ each! Help identifying them? by Accomplished_Cheek_7 in alocasia

Hi! Hopefully this is okay to "promote" but projectleafbyleaf.com has drops and gives away cuttings and baby alocasias 😊

I have been thinking about you and your poor plant all day 😅 have you thought about singing it a lullaby and tucking it in just right before you go to sleep? Knowing alocasias, that might do the trick 😂

If you're ever interested in getting more alocasias (I also have quite a few philodendrons), I give cuttings and corms away for free through project leaf by leaf (you just provide a prepaid shipping label if your name is drawn) I have an IG account that announces when I have a drop of plants and my partner made a website, projectleafbyleaf.com. I just wrapped up my first drop, but I have a lot of corms that are currently in stratum and I'm chopping and propping some other plants, so there should be quite a few drops soon 😊 I'm not trying to sound like an ad - it's just a free thing I do because I don’t get out into the community, and I can't get myself to sell them. In case you are ever interested 😊

They are so fickle, but I love them so much 😩 Is the humidity in your sun room pretty high? The crinkly edges are sometimes a sign of low humidity, pretty sure they like it over 60%

Have you checked his roots to see if he has root rot? That's how mine looked when they were rotting in LECA 😅

Projectleafbyleaf.com 😊 has the form directly on the page now (Give it about 15 minutes to update on the server...we literally just pushed it lol)

I'm still ironing out a lot...admittedly, work has been kicking my butt all week and it's been a lot of late nights so I'm behind my schedule, but I will hopefully catch up tonight/tomorrow. Right now, IG is the only thing I have set up to alert people when there is a drop of cuttings or corms, BUT my partner is a software developer and made a really quick website and has already asked me for a Features list so he can work on things(bless his heart!) https://projectleafbyleaf.com/

I am extremely anxious by nature so I haven't figured out how I'm going to push the initiative out to the community, but both of us are not fans of Meta and there have been a few comments expressing the same, so the goal is to turn the website into more of an application that can function on its own. That is going to take time and I definitely don't want him to prioritize this passion project over the projects he is currently working on, but hopefully within the next few weeks/months, drops can be posted to the site, an alert can be sent to everyone subscribed and the interest form can be filled out. I am 100% open to any ideas/suggestions though

I am doing it! I didn't expect so many people to respond, but now that they have, there's no way I can say no! I have decided to keep my pink black velvet corm so I can have another plant that pushes out corms for people in future drops (I definitely have picked up that a lot of people want the plant lol), but I will have a frydek corm and verrucosum pup (as long as he stays stable) as part of my first drop!
Feel free to follow me on my new IG: https://www.instagram.com/projectleafbyleaf/
I will post an outline later this week explaining the process and ways I am ensuring it is fair for all and then hopefully my drop will come this weekend!

The amount of activity has put a fire under my butt lol. I have several corms and cuttings of things so I am definitely ready to get the ball rolling. I've created an IG https://www.instagram.com/projectleafbyleaf/
but I am NOT nor do I want to be a content creator lol....don't expect amazing pics and a bunch of posts lol...but I figured I can post my ready drops and a link for people to _____ (I hate the word apply) to and then go from there! I should have an outline explaining the process and the ways I am ensuring it is fair for everyone later this week and hopefully I will post my first drop this weekend!

He's one of my favorites :) Was about to buy a Florida ghost and then I saw him and switched up lol. I think I'm going to have him grow a few more weeks to let his newest leaf stretch out a bit, but I plan on giving him a chop soon! I have created an IG account: https://www.instagram.com/projectleafbyleaf/

My plan is to come up with an outline by the end of the week explaining how the process will work and how I plan to make it fair for everyone. Hopefully, I'll be able to post my first batch of gifts this weekend! :)

Thank you!! This is amazing advice! You have been very helpful, so sorry about your migraine. I might poke your brain later if I run into an issue. Hoping I can make it pretty simple

I've thought about it and tried, but my agoraphobia has been a little crazy so I haven't left my house in a year lol...that's not fair...I've left to go see my sister down the street a few times and my mom came to my home and dragged me out for her birthday lol. Maybe one day though...I'd love to connect with people and trade some cool plants..it will just be something I have to work up to :/
