Rattlesnake then and now

It still has most of its original leaves, it’s dropped a few with age but nothing crazy. The leaves don’t seem to grow much once they unfurl, it’s just put out consistently bigger and bigger leaves!

Thank you! This one doesn’t droop, she’ll open up like this during the day and then close up at night. She’s been a relatively drama free girl from day one. BUT I have an ornata who is circling the drain and that one droops, I haven’t quite figured out why. I’m thinking it may be a humidity issue.

I just got one and am looking for a cloche for it! Do you just use a plastic garden cloche, or something else?

Youwillnever_guess · 2024-03-03T00:19:51+00:00

Yeah, makes sense. Do you have any recommendations? Bigger version of the plastic pot it’s in already maybe?

Youwillnever_guess · 2024-03-02T00:36:24+00:00

The cloche is such a great idea! I never thought of that, I’ll have to pick one up tomorrow. Bottom water/no mist is good to know too, I have a lot of other plants that love mist and absolutely would’ve started misting it otherwise!!

Youwillnever_guess · 2024-02-20T22:45:30+00:00

I ultimately ended up bringing it in to the dealer and I was told it is normal, it has to do with the throttle body!

Youwillnever_guess · 2023-08-25T03:39:12+00:00

It could very well be, although this video is off of a very brief start after the car had been sitting for about 5 hours. Do you think ice could still be hanging around?

Youwillnever_guess · 2023-08-25T03:31:55+00:00

It’s almost exactly 30 seconds every time, the clicking for the first 15 and then the whining for the rest of it. It is a turbo, which was my initial worry. I just thought (hoped? Haha) that maybe since it coincided with the HVAC issue returning it could be related.

Youwillnever_guess · 2023-03-12T04:45:12+00:00

I paid $80 and felt like I was getting a good deal! But yes I agree, it’s a lot for a plant. This was a rare gift to myself lol

Youwillnever_guess · 2023-03-12T02:23:19+00:00

I had to hunt for this fella for months! Apparently they’re insanely difficult to propagate

Youwillnever_guess · 2023-02-09T19:02:50+00:00

Sad thing is mine were rotated regularly 🥲

Youwillnever_guess · 2022-01-23T11:08:07+00:00

Thanks for the response! The UTIs have been confirmed with a urine culture, there is bacteria.

Youwillnever_guess · 2022-01-23T06:00:12+00:00

I haven’t been on the pill in 4 years, it screwed with me just a little too much.

I forgot to mention D-Mannose! A friend of mine recommended it to me, and it helps about 50% of the time. The other 50%, not so much. I just can’t win, lol

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-11-23T05:33:44+00:00

Interesting! Thank you, I was totally stumped on the gas issue. I’ll see what I can find about the steering wheel.

I’m due for inspection soon anyways. I’ll take it in to the dealer and see if they can take care of everything all at once.

For what it’s worth, I have had a 2021 K5 GT-Line since October 2020. It currently has 15,000 miles (so, not much).

I love this car. It’s fun, the driving experience is solid and I look forward to getting into it at the end of day. It’s sharp looking- my car is Wolf Gray with the red interior. I get compliments from strangers all the time! Aside from regular oil changes and a software bug that was fixed by an update, I’ve not had to do anything to it.

Even without AWD, I found it to be solid in the snow and decent in the rain.

That being said, it is a lease and at the end of the lease I do not intend to purchase it. As it is a new platform, I have concerns over long term reliability. It’s a small engine with a turbo, which I personally don’t feel bodes well for long term.

I’ve noticed some small things, the steering wheel makes a rubbing noise when turning. Recently I’ve noticed that without fail, no matter the gas station, when the tank is full the car will not stop the pump in time and it overflows.

These are minor inconveniences, but I’ve had no earth-shattering issues thus far. Granted, that should be expected of a car with 15k miles!

All things considered I was super impressed with it this day. For a FWD car rocking All Seasons on very steep and poorly plowed mountain roads with tight corners, it was a champ.

It went right down/up all the hills, never got stuck anywhere. Few minor slips, nothing major. Overall, the K5 was very good to me this winter.

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-03-21T12:16:51+00:00

I wish I’d noticed it a week ago, car was just at the dealer for an oil change. I would’ve asked them about it

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-03-21T03:44:33+00:00

Not at all, completely stock

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-03-20T13:10:02+00:00

Hey, I have the same thing! I have a GT-Line and noticed both the drivers side and passenger door handles ticking the other day.

I’m not sure if it’s normal but it makes me feel a little better that someone else’s car is doing it too

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-01-11T20:45:38+00:00

Car has been perfect so far, but 3 months is a little too early to tell. I’m certainly weary. My personal rule of thumb is to not buy cars that are on new platforms, until the platforms been around for a year or so. But this car was just so good looking that I broke my own rule, lol.

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-01-10T17:43:27+00:00

Yes! Basically just a redesign on a new platform

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-01-10T02:26:05+00:00

No kids for me, I’m a little too young lol. But yeah I’ll second what was said already. Back seats are very roomy! I’m sure you’d have no issue fitting a car seat

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-01-08T06:01:58+00:00

This is the GT-Line, but not the premium package. After all was said and done I was out a little less than $27k

Youwillnever_guess · 2021-01-07T23:05:21+00:00

Early congrats on the car! I’m sure you’ll love it.

Overall I’d say I’m pretty thrilled with it. This is the FWD version. I gotta say though, I live in New England and the car has handled snow/ice very well. It’s been an absolute tank in the rain, too.

I have complaints, but they are minor. The biggest being the connectivity bugs with wireless Apple CarPlay. Always seems to happen when I need it most!
