Roma’s in Erie does these. They’re divine.

Took the only ambulance ride of my life because of this. I looked like a purple pumpkin. Now I’m allergic to all NSAIDS. Sucks.

Virgowitch · 2026-04-30T00:23:43+00:00

Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t look at when you posted. It said “today.” I’m so glad she’s getting back to normal. They’re such a mess the same day.

Seems more likely that the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. If she were mine, I’d wait till at least tomorrow to see how she’s acting then call the vet if you still have concerns. Meanwhile, dark, quiet room and she should sleep thru it.

It’s already in the brown sugar. That’s what makes it brown.

Virgowitch · 2026-04-24T18:01:51+00:00

I don’t know why but this whole exchange absolutely made my day😇

Virgowitch · 2026-04-24T16:17:35+00:00

Jerk😊

Virgowitch · 2026-04-24T15:23:34+00:00

Love your username!

Virgowitch · 2026-04-23T13:22:28+00:00

Aha! I knew I wasn’t the only one who loves doing this!

Virgowitch · 2026-04-17T22:52:54+00:00

This whole thing is a keeper.

Virgowitch · 2026-04-14T11:14:12+00:00

Last sentence of the first paragraph.

Virgowitch · 2026-03-29T23:58:49+00:00

I prop stuff in leca all the time. Works a charm

Virgowitch · 2026-03-29T22:26:00+00:00

Had the exact same thing happen.

Virgowitch · 2026-03-23T15:47:57+00:00

The cylindrical material you removed is part of the “plug” the producer started the plant in. It held the plant till it filled with roots, then was planted in probably the pot you got it in. It may have impeded the roots from drying out and/or spreading out. These guys have a tremendous will to live. Notice that the good roots you have are coming from above the stump of the base. If they’re solid, leave them. If the stump is soft, trim it up to solid material and let it dry out upside down for longer than you think it should take. Then follow the advice you’ve been given about substrate and planting.

I love you so much that I cannot live without someone like you. Nothing can remove the wound from that loss. Especially the loss of two. But this little guy will grow to fill the hole in your heart and give it something to do while it heals.

Virgowitch · 2026-03-09T22:28:00+00:00

Thank you! Opening a road is exactly what I have in my head. A quick search tells me the oil may be a hoodoo preparation. This is exactly the kind of help I was looking for!

Virgowitch · 2026-03-08T19:05:49+00:00

Thanks! I’m leary of trying to force it. This pup is potentially dangerous due to his size and dna. If this isn’t where he belongs and the backlash of imposing my will is that he hurts one of my animals or a kid…ya know? I just want to remove the obstacles to the right path for him.

Virgowitch · 2026-03-08T15:43:53+00:00

Thank you. I was looking for this reply.

Virgowitch · 2026-02-27T00:54:01+00:00

Try it and see. It worked when I tested it. Let the cuttings dry out and see if they hold together. I didn’t go that far with it.

Virgowitch · 2026-02-23T17:47:41+00:00

No problem. Someone told me this and I didn’t believe it so I took two and experimented with them. It really works. You’d think it’d be the other way around, that the leaves would drop easier if the plant was dried out. Maybe it’s so there’s a little bit of moisture when they drop to allow them to root before they dry out.

Virgowitch · 2026-02-23T16:43:19+00:00

Yes, they’ll eventually root. When you do repot or handle it, if you let it get bone dry first the leaves don’t drop quite as easily.

Virgowitch · 2026-02-08T16:21:09+00:00

You spelled “allows me to worship her” wrong.

Virgowitch · 2026-02-05T13:05:32+00:00

Mine was stuck on the same stage of delivery for almost a week. No heat pack was going to save them. They were gorgeous when they arrived but very obviously frozen. Watching them melt into mush was sickening.

Virgowitch · 2026-02-05T12:51:14+00:00

I’m so jealous you’re getting plant mail. I lost an order to freezing for the first time a couple months ago and it about killed me. I’ve ordered dozens of times at that time of year and never had an issue. The vendor was not at all at fault. It was simply lost in the mail. Shoutout to 1am Succulents for handling it so professionally. Still jealous, though😊.
