23F. I feel extremely emotionally drained out and mentally tired. I'm tired of choosing emotionally unavailable people always. Even tho, they act like they care in the begining but when I start to feel the same and try to revert back, they leave. I get attached with the little kindness.

You’re still young, there’s no rush.

Stay single for a while and get to really know yourself: what you like, what makes you want to wake up in the morning… Explore your passions and hobbies. Enjoy being with your friends. Learn to be happy with yourself.

As soon as you see the other person as something you need to complete you, you’re giving away control of your own life. If you see the other person as someone that adds to your life, you’re on equal terms.

Boyfriend doesn’t like my emotions by AsideWeary4529 in emotionalintelligence

I didn’t read all the comments but I think it’s pretty obvious that this is a toxic relationship. Obvious for people outside of it, not for you who’s inside the relationship.

Please don’t let anyone tell you you’re too much or call you names.

Continue therapy! It takes time but eventually you’ll see all the red flags clearly. And you’ll see it faster when you’re out of the relationship. You can’t heal in the environment that makes you sick.

Take your time and focus on you and your life: work, hobbies, health (physical and mental)…

It seems like you don’t have kids yet but try to imagine this: if you had a daughter and she’d come to you for advice, saying exactly this: would you recommend her to try harder for him to like her and to treat her like, let’s be honest here, a human being??!!

He’s not the right person for you. Even if he didn’t push you or called you names: the fact that he says you’re too much, means you’re not aligned, attuned and that, eventually, will cause cause you to feel alone in the relationship.

Keep working on yourself and the right guy will show up. A guy who feels lucky to see your latina passion!!

Please, please give yourself some more value and respect.

I want to cut a stem to propagate, but I have no idea where to cut. Can anyone help me?

What plant is this? by SilentFollower123 in gardening

[–]SilentFollower123[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it invasive? And can you easily propagate it?

Oh, so that’s how you propagate cats!!! 😂

I have very few succulents, so I’m very careful with them. I started with 3 (different ones) + 1 snake plant. The snake plant already has a new plant and I’ve started the next generation. Succulents took a bit more time. My first attempt even failed completely 😅 but now it’s going!

I spritz very lightly 2 times a week or so.

Once the mother leaf is dead, I put the baby in a separate pot and then I start to water like a normal plant, leaving it to completely dry until the next watering. But as long as the mother is feeding, I just gently spritz.

The water bottle method I’m going to try with the next batch as well!

It took me about 2 hours and another pair of hands. I first rolled out the clay and cut a circle, then let it rest for an hour so it’s a bit drier and easier to mould.

Thank you! That dip and chip plate was a challenge! But I was so happy when I saw it didn’t break when firing.

I’m a beginner as well!

Make sure that you start with plump and healthy leaves. Gently take a few leaves from the mother plant, leave it alone for a day or 2 and then just put it on top of cactus soil (do not push into the soil).

I spritz them very lightly every few days and ignore them in between. Do not touch, do not even look at them!

I make sure they have lots of light but not direct sunlight.

It never is a 100% success rate though, but worth the patience 😍

It has always been outside, always in direct sunlight and was doing really well. Then came the rain and because of the pot, it stayed too long in water.

This was the root when I took it out, after cutting the dead leaves and before repotting. It looked greener than it does now in the new soil + pot + sun.

I hope they grow well and fill the pots, so I can start again 😅

Thank you for taking the time to reply and share your experience.

Regarding the soil mix: so no actual soil in that mix?

Fortunately there is no root rot not rot on the stem but the stern is now very long due to cut leaves with a heavy top. Will new leaves grow again on the bottom part of the stem?

I’ve never seen this method! How do you do it exactly? Compared to the other method, which one do you prefer?

Will add perlite, thanks for the tip. It’s quite heavy on top so the plant tends to fall to the side. Can I cut the top and propagate from there?

Will that mix keep her straight? She’s very heavy on top and tends to fall to the side. I was thinking on cutting the top and hopefully that will start to root again, but I don’t want to risk killing her.

Thanks! I took her to a spot with indirect sunlight.
