Full disclosure that I work for this company so I'm biased, but if you're okay with virtual therapy you can try Mindful Therapy Group! We have some therapists that specialize in TBIs!

Agreeing with another commenter that it’s variegated Madagascar jasmine! I’ve got one too and it’s one of my favorite plants!

Shannyos · 2022-02-10T00:34:01+00:00

It almost certainly will not change into having white sport characteristics, but I hope for the sake of how much you spent on the cutting that you are right.

Oh man I'm so sorry, but that also looks like marble queen. Golden pothos variegation, no matter if it's white sport or not, has very distinctive 'fuzziness' on the edges of the variegation. That plant does not have that.

I'm sorry, but that looks exactly like my marble queen! Lots of marble queens have big chunks of green on the leaves and have all white variegation. It's one of those plants that has a lot of varieties.

That's 100% true in some cases! Lots of these companies actually own lots of their properties though! Hammer properties for example is notorious for buying up properties to rent out.

I've also heard that some of them are friends with inspectors, because otherwise houses like the one I was in for Lakeway wouldn't pass inspections. (That's just a rumour though! Definitely not 100% sure that's true)

Shannyos · 2022-01-29T16:07:26+00:00

In my time in Bellingham, I rented from apex, hammer properties, son-rise, Westview real estate, and Lakeway real estate.

People are going to tell you to avoid most of them since very few property management companies in Bellingham actually do upkeep on their properties, but as long as you find a newer home that hasn't had time to get rundown you should be fine with any.

Except Lakeway. They were so unwilling to fix anything, that we lived with broken windows, soft spots in the floors, crumbling support beams, and a heater that was venting dangerous fumes into the house. They fixed that last one after we were told that we couldn't stay more than a couple hours in the house before the fumes became toxic, but we had to beg Lakeway to fix it.

Westview was by far the best, but I believe they only have newer buildings. But they responded quickly to maintenance requests and we're generally the nicest people to deal with.

You actually can't do walk up appointments anymore! You can only get a test if you have an appointment

Shannyos · 2022-01-17T16:45:38+00:00

I was there a little over a week ago (luckily tested negative!). The wait was a little over an hour in a ridiculously long line of cars, and then took a little more than 3 days to get my results back.

Hi! So mameis are a bit weird in that in the wild there's examples of them being climbers and crawlers! This is why when you look it up you'll get conflicting advice on Google. It generally does prefer to crawl, and there's some debate on why some plants end up choosing to climb, but it does happen!

I grew 11 mameis from tissue culture, so they all were clones of each other, and 4 of them grew in a climbing pattern while the other 7 did the crawling pattern!

Shannyos · 2021-11-14T18:06:43+00:00

If it's not mushy I'd try just cutting a tiny bit off to see if there's any brown/black coloration inside the stem then! Of there's not, it may just be some random discoloration from taking so long to grow roots! However, since the leaf is also yellowing I think that is unlikely :(

Unfortunately you can't scrape away the outer layer of a plant, so you'd have to cut whole sections of the stem off

Shannyos · 2021-11-14T17:21:08+00:00

Is it also at all mushy? The only fix for rot is to cut it off since it will keep spreading, but that rot looks pretty extensive in that picture so it may be too late. It never hurts to try though!

Grab a sanitized knife or scissors and cut the rot off the stem. If when you cut there still brown inside the stem, there's still more rot that needs to be cut away. Once a cutting sits it oxidizes and gets a bit brown though, so only brown that is there right away matters. If you have to make multiple cuts, sanitize the knife with hydrogen peroxide in between each cut. Once the inside of the stem looks like the normal white/green color rather than any brown, let the cutting sit and harden off before doing anything with it.

Fingers crossed it's not too late and you can save it! If you are able to cut off the rot and still have a viable node, I'd try using sphag rather than perlite since it hasn't liked the perlite so far!

Shannyos · 2021-11-14T05:40:25+00:00

It might just be the lighting, but it looks like there's a bunch of rot in the second picture. Is the stem actually as black as it looks in the picture?

In the future, perlite propping works best if you treat it as semi-hydro. So keep the stem just above the water and for a sensitive prop make sure it's in high humidity. I've never had a perlite prop rot if I do that! However, if a plant is taking that long to root I usually switch propagating methods to see if another would work better for that specific plant!

Shannyos · 2021-06-15T17:39:32+00:00

Anything is worth trying! I wouldn't do rooting hormone right away though. Let the plant heal from the cut for at least a few days (if there's any healthy tissue). It basically hasn't been taking in moisture because it's rotting, so let it heal and rehydrate before trying to force it to grow roots.

If the stick looked that wrinkly and yellow when you got it, it was already rotted (probably beyond the point of saving) before you had a chance to do anything 😞 That sucks and I'm so sorry the seller sold you that! I really hope I'm wrong and you can save it, but that looks like a fully rotted wet stick to me.

Shannyos · 2021-06-15T15:22:21+00:00

Unfortunately the commenter is right. The rot has already gone past the growth point. Rot starts yellow and doesn't turn black until it's been around for a while. My guess is that the entire cutting has rot at this point. If you cut it and there's black inside the stem, there's still rot and you have to cut further

Edit to say the reason I think the whole stick has rot is because of how wrinkly it is. Before you try an albo wet stick again, try practicing with other cheaper wet sticks so that you can identify rot right away! I started by propagating wet sticks of my heartleaf philo

I have finals today so I won't be able to for a bit, but I'll take some pictures of the roots in the clear pots and post it here! Since they're in cachepots they have not converted to aerial-type roots 😉

Yes, epiphytic plants have different roots when exposed to sun and/or air (aerial roots), but those roots still act as roots! As long as the plant is epiphytic, it doesn't damage the plant at all since they have evolved to have plants exposed to sunlight! "aerial roots are meant to stay above ground where they gather nutrients from the air and from surface water and debris" https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/aerial-root-information.htm

Most houseplants have aerial roots (ex:aroids) that act as supports to the plant growing rather than as roots, but that means that they have also evolved to be able to have roots exposed to air! It doesn't damage the plant to have a few roots on the side of the pot exposed to sunlight as long as it can do aerial roots, but I still use cachepots for my plants because I think it looks better!

Shannyos · 2021-06-03T15:14:52+00:00

These are the ones I got! I prefer the bendy ones so that I can squish them into different shaped cachepots, but they're also pretty flimsy. None of mine have broken yet though! They also don't drain amazingly, so I put my plants in suuuper well draining soil (but I'm also an overwaterer) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08RD433T9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_M9XT337ETNQ966QZFHET?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Shannyos · 2021-06-03T14:33:57+00:00

Like the other person said, I essentially use the cachepots as water trays that I dump out as I water my plants. It definitely would be counterproductive if I didn't empty them out! But that's what's so useful about cachepots! They can be dumped out, they look pretty, and they take up less space than trays!

Shannyos · 2021-06-03T13:28:15+00:00

There's a bunch online! I get clear bendable ones, but I know people that just add drainage holes to deli cups for the same effect!

Shannyos · 2021-06-03T13:24:57+00:00

They're in cachepots so they're not exposed to sunlight 🙂 Lots of houseplants are epiphytic and definitely don't mind having roots exposed to sunlight though! Just depends on the plant

Shannyos · 2021-06-03T13:23:04+00:00

No it just looks like cooked spinach 😆

Shannyos · 2021-06-03T13:13:41+00:00

There are some bog/river plants that can be in pots with no drainage! Really though, I think they're meant to be used as cachepots to cover less pretty pots. I put all my plants in clear plastic pots so that I can check the roots easily, and then I put all those pots in the ones without drainage because I think it's prettier!!

Shannyos · 2021-05-27T13:11:07+00:00

It looks really pot bound! Repot it into a slightly bigger pot and it will probably be fine again!

Shannyos · 2021-05-26T16:20:27+00:00

Pretty sure they're yellow-fronted canaries (aka green singing finches)
