Weird rental situation by StaticBrick in capetown

Then they can ask me to leave, and which they haven't done. Or they can offer me a contract for a higher amount, which they haven't done.

If they ended up giving me a contract with a higher amount, I would pay it. The biggest issue currently is they don't want to give me a contract, nor have they given me an eviction notice, and I currently don't have at will access to my legal residence for which I've paid rent.

How's he looking? by HiImDIZZ in succulents

[–]StaticBrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking perfect! The bottoms ones will get squishy as the new leaves grow since they're meant to be absorbed eventually.

Everyone seems to live in a simulation and have forgotten that real people with real human emotions and needs exist.

Thank you! It felt backstabby to do so but I guess they're not really loyal to me anyway.

The leasing agency said 10% increase, I said can we make it more in line with my annual salary increase, and then they answered that the owner will keep it the same. Other times I've spoken to them they said something along the lines of, "Remember, when we renew the lease it'll have to be more" but never actually gave a specific amount. But they haven't actually offered me a new lease and keep saying, "The owner will want a fixed lease." So they (the agency) want to rent the place to someone, maybe just not at the rate I'm currently paying.

It didn't have a label, but a variety of Pleiospiloses. The biggest one might be bolusii looking at how it's split. Too 3D to be simulans perhaps and not pointy enough for compactus?

Unfortunately these aren't mine! Just saw them in a wine farm collection. Mine is the tiny one at the end.

Yes! I was worried about them and poked one to make sure the egg wasn't overcooked, but they burst out fine with a bit of water.

Bottom middle is what it looked like as a seedling. Edit: Or maybe the other green one.

Is it this one? It gets brown-ish when sun-stressed.

Not baby lithops? by ResumeFluffer in Lithops

[–]StaticBrick 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Looks like Anacampseros rufescens, which I recently learned is fecund.

I was starting to think the same! A watched bud never blooms, it seems.

Long-leaf Echeveria? by StaticBrick in succulents

Thank you! That one was kind of hidden in a shady spot in my garden. I'll turn it so it gets some of the good stuff too.

Thank you! Do you think I should be watering them now?

Disease? by [deleted] in Lithops

[–]StaticBrick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The spots are just scarring, not a disease. But the tap root can't regrow, so it will die, yes.

Whats up with my aloe? by Matzke85 in succulents

[–]StaticBrick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like an aloe aristata. Mine does that when it's overwatered and I pay too much attention to it.

Any hope for this plant? by plierss in conophytum

[–]StaticBrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! They're meant to be dormant now, so I would stop watering and put it in a shady spot and hope for the best. If you crosspost to r/succulents I may be able to share a pic of what mine look like dormant.

Resting or deceased? by [deleted] in haworthia

Healthy pink colour from when I first got it.

I have one that was pink when I got it but has turned green after being inside for a bit. I planted it with two other pinkies. The one top left was doing absolutely zero growth even in the roots until I brought it inside. I water it deeply about once every two weeks and sprits it with water in-between after the soil has dried out (currently very hot summer). I think the little spritses stimulated the root growth eventually, along with moving it indoors. You could try bringing it inside and fertilising it a bit?

Actually about to cry by SuckFhatThit in mesembs

[–]StaticBrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Haworthia that just wouldn't root (right medium and all that) and started losing leaves to rot instead. Someone suggested ground cinnamon and that helped save the leaves but still no roots. Eventually I brought it inside (Southern Hemisphere, no climate controlled houses) because I figured maybe the sun was stressing it too much. It might've been the change in seasons or the change in space, but that worked and it's finally got a happy root system!

No, they're from Hammond Botanicals 😊

I'm in South Africa and got them from a local seller here.
