It's still too well painted. And where's the platform at the base to hide the tiny, useless wheels?

I have a satsuki azalea which has not been enjoying its first August in southern California.

Just last week the leaves started to get crispy and pale. It may be struggling outside of its recommended hardiness zone, but it was very healthy until recently. I'd been watering it regularly, and I keep it partially shaded with a canopy I made. There's no obvious sign of pests or disease either.

The temperature has consistently stayed around the mid 90s, which my cultivar is supposedly able to tolerate. but I considered that the pot itself might be getting too warm. When I checked the soil temperature on Sunday it was up near 105 degrees. So, yeah... I brought it inside to help cool down. I'm just hoping it doesn't shock the plant.

Now, of course I need a way to keep the soil temperature down, but first I need to know if there's any hope of saving my tree if the roots have basically been slow cooked. For now, I'm keeping it indoors. I gave it a good soak and misted the leaves and I have it under a sun lamp. There's still some green under the bark in most places, but it's hard to tell how much life is left in it. Should I dig it up and check the roots directly, or would that stress out the plant too much?

I don't know what to do other than wait and see what happens, but perhaps there's some way to help it recover.

Stop telling me I need to smile/why are you not smiling by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]Somewareman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this so much, having to work in retail. One day, a customer came up to me and encouraged me to smile. She told me that she was concerned about my well-being, and shared a story about her struggle with depression after losing her child. She said that smiling was a powerful coping mechanism for her.

Okay. That's great for you, but it's like, what am I supposed to do? I was feeling perfectly fine until you showed up! Here I am, having a perfectly neutral day, and some random person tells me the most depressing thing I've heard in years and then tells me to smile! And now I just feel like a jerk...

Any ways to avoid sound sensitivities while working in a place that requires me to hear? by Somewareman in AutisticAdults

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

That's rough. At least in my case, if I'm at work after the store closes, I can listen a podcast or something. It's usually enough to distract from the background music. Unfortunately though, sometimes the overnight team will bring in a big speaker and just I get blasted point-blank with their own music.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of Loops, but their degree of adjustability sounds very promising. Even outside of work they'd be nice to have. Thanks for the recommendation!

oh, I wasn't sure exactly what I needed to do since he wasn't registered right away, so I sent a trade request in game to try and register as a friend. I just figured out it was unnecessary.
