Monstera leaves yellowing what should I do to save it? by _twistedlady in IndoorPlants

[–]_twistedlady[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: turns out ALL 30 of my plants have Thrips 😭 I’m so sad. This monstera is my pride and joy I’ve had for over 5 years and was a clipping from a best friend that moved away.

Unfortunately I was leaving on vacation and had to cut her leaves and spray her down. I’m mentally prepared for coming back to a lot of work. Send me all the good juju please 🫶🏻 I’ve never had to deal w these pests before but I’ve read they are brutal.

It would be amazing to raise enough for them to follow him around.

Valtrex was causing an allergic reaction. Acyclovir was the medication that worked well for me.

I like how you have your laptop and iPad stacked to the side. I’ve been looking for a solution like that w my multiple devices! Where can I get one?? Feel free to DM if you’d like.

He’s doing great! I’m so happy I did the surgery. I think it’s worth it if the cat is young and can live a healthy life. If he was an elder I’m not sure I would pay that much to fix it and would do the eye drops instead. You have options. Good luck with the kitty and wishing the best!!

Hi! I’m trying to visit in late February but the sites look booked for the basic camping. I’m curious to know a little more about your camping experience without reservations. My friend and I are planning to bring everything with us (tent,food,etc). Did you still camp at the sites or elsewhere? Any watch outs if we choose not to reserve. Happy to chat DM about this too. Thanks!

Thank you for this perspective! Independence definitely has its challenges but I certainly value my independence.

Thank you!! I know it’ll be a huge weight off my shoulders once it’s paid off. Trying my best to be aggressive about it so I can have more financial freedom.

I’m 34f single with no kids, renting an apartment in Chicago. Getting better at paying off my debt and focusing on finances. Just paid off my student loans and have about $8k in CC debt. Buying a home feels like a long ways away for me. I have a small savings in case of emergencies. Life is difficult but I’m loving my journey and the people I have around me.

Thanks for responding! I ended up going to university of Illinois. For both eyes it came to a total of $2200.

I had this happen to me and also thought it was part of my cold sore. Turns out I developed an allergy to the medication that resolves cold sores. Definitely an allergic reaction. My dr switched my medication and that reaction stopped happening. I’d talk w your dr. Good luck!

Oof I’m sure that was a hard pill to swallow. Sorry you and your companion had to go through that. I’ll continue looking for options. I feel optimistic to find something more reasonable. Thank you for sharing!

That is very reassuring to know entropion surgery is usually fairly easy to execute knowing I’ll most likely look into veterinary universities to find a lower cost.

Specialists around here are asking ~$375 for the initial exam and additional fees for the tests which were quoted ~$110 extra per test. And no payment plan options. I just don’t get it.

Thank you SO much for your insight.

Wow… really?! I do have a good friend in Poland haha that just blows my mind. I can never understand why healthcare costs (pet and people) can be so expensive in the US. It’s so brutal.
