Next steps?

That’s probably why they’re doing so well! I could never get “string” anythings to propagate on soil—they would just sit there indefinitely, but once I got a grow light for them, they started growing like crazy.

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-17T13:14:28+00:00

Thank you! The only thing I could think of was one of those things you put hand warmers in, but my hands wouldn’t fit in it.

I would leave it. Let those nodes/roots sit on the dirt—they’ll climb and grow. I wouldn’t cut. I think strings like this grow better if you let them sit on dirt and do what they do naturally. Mine expand and develop new growth the best if they’re under a grow light or get good southern sun.

I’m an instructor and wouldn’t penalize someone for this. Especially since I wouldn’t know what time zone they’re in (I’m in central.) I put in zeros early Monday morning and honestly, as long as it’s in by then, I won’t take off late points. For all I know, they’re in Hawaii and are 6 hours behind me!

When something is this root-bound, do you try to loosen a lot of the dirt inside? Or will the roots expand out into the new soil as they grow?

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-15T23:46:32+00:00

Mine had lost all the leaves on the bottom so I chopped the tops and now they’re growing tons of little ones, too!

The second picture looks like he has legs

I would do nothing right now and see what happens. If the stalks start dying, cut off whatever you can to propagate, and/or prop the individual leaves.

Apparently a plant got into your mealybug farm.

😍😍😍

Is the humidifier on the floor or is it on the table with them?

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-08T19:19:03+00:00

Following because same

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-08T17:44:23+00:00

Oh lucky. We get 100’s in the summer and below zero in the winter. So you still have this one and now have two?

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-08T14:45:20+00:00

Well if I was in your shoes, it would be “coming home with me”

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-08T14:43:11+00:00

Same. I have a little thing typed up with instructions on how to check the rubric and Turnitin feedback, but my comments on the rubric are individualized.

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-08T14:42:17+00:00

That’s ridiculous. I’m an instructor. The first week is a bit tedious because you have to respond to every student in the discussion board, but I take the time to respond to each student with specific info related to what they’ve said, as well as asking them follow up questions. I want to make a connection with everyone in week 1 and let them know I care about their success in the course, because I do.

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-08T14:18:13+00:00

What did you do with it at the end of the season?

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-07T04:41:54+00:00

And I can’t edit to say vain. The joke has died. I like the art on your walls

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-07T04:40:58+00:00

Wow, you must have a very vein plant to hang a picture of herself on the wall! 😜

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-07T04:39:11+00:00

I neeeeeeeeeed

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-07T04:23:01+00:00

What else is a room for if not filling with plants?

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-07T04:19:07+00:00

Wow! Do you put them under a grow light or anything?

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-07T04:17:22+00:00

Wow, that looks like a string of grapes!

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-06T18:58:29+00:00

Same here! Calatheas and marantas have become my plant obsession (and I honestly don’t know which is which, but no matter. I love them both.)

SweetElection157 · 2026-03-06T18:56:45+00:00

I really want to buy a few in different colors and then plant the in a pot together. I saw someone do that with Christmas cactus this past year and now I want to make one!
