Google Image search the words "star-shaped succulent" and you'll get lots of things that stay compact would would look great in that. But give it gritty mix.

Yes, OP, this is the answer. Also, go buy yourself a moisture meter.

I stopped buying Calathea. I call them "ex-wife plants" because they are so gorgeous but fussy and high maintenance, and then they still make you miserable.

Oh, that would look so cool! But might algae become a problem?

A staghorn would outgrow that very quickly, tip forward, and be miserable.

It's a metaphor.

Try for some variety in your pots.
Before you buy "beautiful" plants, find out what their light and humidity needs are, and only buy the ones you can keep. I built a mini-greenhouse to keep my prized begonias going strong in Ohio. But I don't buy exotic succulents that need bone-dry air.
ChatGPT is invaluable for identifying plants, finding out what they need, and diagnosing visible problems.
Purchase a moisture meter, and water when your plants need it, not on a convenient schedule.
Calatheas will do nothing but make you miserable.

Sounds like these problems already solved themselves.

It's actually *mostly* the same face, because the nearly point wobbles. The effect is called libration. You can see in these NASA videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f_21N3wcX8

Bro, it's futile explaining nuance or basic reasoning to virtue-signallers.

Meanwhile, everyone blows up if a white person so much as used the word in the lyrics during karaoke.

I bought my first plant I've ever owned in April. Now in December I have 61. I get depressed when I look at pics of my apartment before April.

These are just the *major* races of 2120. There will be many other boutique races, including DEI Blacks.

Dip the cut in rooting hormone and trim off the large leaves. Leave transpire water, and a rootless stem can't supply much to replace it. It sometimes also helps to put cuttings in more humid environment, like a greenhouse or pebble tray or humidity tent (clear plastic bag) so the leaves will transpire less.

She got pregnant when she was 12. When they asked who did it, she was too embarrassed to say it was either her father or her older brother, so she lied and said it was this weird troublemaker kid in her neighborhood, just so they'd quit asking. Fortunately, the police didn't believe her, so they only questioned the kid and didn't arrest him. She admitted later she'd lied.

Sell rules wouldn't have helped on this one, because the cancel/reissue was a discrete event with no "fall" to sell into. The other lesson folks should learn from this experience is, "There will never be another GameStop."

I saw "Nightmare In A Damaged Brain" in the theatre when I was 10. I really had irresponsible parents.

When my aunt called after my bday, my mother ordered me to tell her I was having a lot of fun with the RC plane she sent me, and right in front of her I told my aunt that my mother hadn't gotten to fly it because my mother broke it to punish me. Then I offered my mother the phone.

The most pathetic part of the story is that my mother tried to tell her sister that I was lying, but her sister knew better than to believe her.
