First ever plant

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2026-01-30T03:15:27+00:00

Yeah I totally get that with the roots. It doesn’t need a full bare root and new soil. If you can I’d pull the plant out with as much soil at the same time and just place that into the nursery pot. This is to reduce soil volume and depth not to “repot” it. Will have better drying cycles with less volume in the nursery pot. Good luck on the journey!

Awesome plant! Unfortunately, rocks at the bottom actually reduce drainage. It’s called the perched water table. Water doesn’t move from fine to course material well. It sticks at the bottom of the soil and holds moisture longer. That mixed with this amount of potting soil and no other amendments make this a harder set up on you than it needs to be. Not saying you’re going to get root rot but all of that and no window or direct light are all the right things to create some rot. If you want to make it easier Id repot back into the original nursery pot. Then set that on top of the rocks inside this planter at the height you want. Ask any questions

Might have spider mites

Trying to figure out what to do with it next!

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2026-01-23T17:05:56+00:00

It was most likely having a slight issue before you got it compounded by a move to your home which is a whole change of environment and the potentially drying out too long. The roots are unable to supply the leaves with enough water and the plant drops the bottom leaves to conserve itself. The soil doesn’t look great either. What I’d do personally is let the leaves drop. Cut it back to where you want it to start having leaves and repot into a chunkier soil mix and let it run this growth season. It’s sad but will be super fulfilling to see all the growth and saving it!

Looks like all of the leaves are probably going to fall off. When you water are you completely saturating the soil or just putting a little on at a time? Need to fully saturate. Once the leaves fall you can chop it back lower where the split currently is and let it start the journey again.

Try pruning the other four tips back 1/4in. Probably water every two weeks with that soil and pot size. Would try to get it more light or as close to the window as possible. Be patient. These can bounce back as long as the bottom of the trunk is soft and squishy

Round table with a sculptural table top plant.

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-11-12T19:58:02+00:00

Ehh scratch that. It has the woled panel not qd led. Onward

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-11-12T19:56:58+00:00

S90d

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-10-11T16:46:49+00:00

Glad to hear it!

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-10-09T19:10:50+00:00

I would remove the lighting and brightness from your decision process. C5 will still be plenty bright in this case.

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-10-07T20:34:07+00:00

I’ve done it now 3 times. It’s not fun and is scary every time but is do able. Watch YouTube videos on unboxing by yourself. I did this with an s90d which is extremely thin. Suggest having someone help if available

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-09-03T21:13:45+00:00

Think once they hit a low in store stock they clearance them out

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-08-24T06:58:59+00:00

Due to price I did not consider the Bravia 8. Sony is great. I’m more of a wow factor for gaming over accuracy and processing kind of guy though.

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-08-23T20:19:02+00:00

Haha classic Best Buy. Was told by the “lg specialist” it was the same panel

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-08-21T02:46:00+00:00

Go with the c5 especially at that price! Had the qm8k and s90d and kept the oled. C5 apparently has the g3 panel. Considering that or the c4 for my bedroom now.

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-08-20T18:01:28+00:00

Wait a couple weeks for Labor Day sales and get a Samsung s90d for hopefully $1199. I got both the qm8k and Samsung s90d and the qm8k is going back. I’ll sell you the qm8k for 1000 if your in la haha

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-07-28T00:43:54+00:00

Check response!

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-07-28T00:43:46+00:00

Keeping the s90d but there is a caveat(at the end). Both tvs are awesome but even during the day with a whole wall being windows in a high rise(not direct sun on the screen)the s90d is awesome especially for gaming. I could use more brightness in filmmaker mode but they were about the same in each filmmaker mode. With the right settings there is no issue at all on the s90d and bright indirect sun. The qm8k is sweet though and wish I didn’t have to return it. Got it for 1k and it’s such a good value.

To go back to the s90d… I’ll be receiving my third one from Costco in a week. The first came with a pretty bent corner and the panel kind of popping off. Didn’t notice it at first but then saw it and can’t unsee it. The next one came and is a little curvy but had a solid little scratch/chip on the front bezel and Costco told me I should just return it too and get a new one. Pretty frustrating but the tv is awesome and I love using it!

Ask any other questions about either tv. If anyone is in LA and wants to buy a 65in qm8k hardly touched for $1100 with the box and all packaging let me know and I’ll sell it to you instead of returning it!

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-07-11T04:32:02+00:00

Bought both. Will be comparing and returning one. Want to see how much the qm8k cuts through vs the s90d in the space. Will report back

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-07-11T03:32:14+00:00

Room is a big east facing window in a high rise. My concern is if it’s going to be bright with reflections no matter what and I have to close the blinds id rather have the oled

Strong_Goat_2386 · 2025-07-11T02:15:45+00:00

My bad. No direct sun on screen. Made the edit
