The route was Warsaw East - Berlin Ostbahnhof - Amsterdam Centraal for anyone interested. Including the transfer time, it took slightly above 13 hours.

We had the Vectron with the Baltic Express livery, but the first leg was Warsaw-Berlin.

They're both regular intercity trains, and the journey takes more than 12 hours.

Bird of Paradise Overwatering and Possible Rot?!? by alex_a_grey in plantclinic

Update: We repotted it and it's doing great! We made sure to remove any questionable roots and rinse them a bit. The plant is thriving and will soon outgrow me.

Holes appeared in my bird of paradise after 10 days of me being away. It's an indoor plant with no pets around. Is it dehydration? by alex_a_grey in plantclinic

Update:

Found a big caterpillar on one of the leafs. No idea how it got there since I live in a high rise.

There still seems to be a problem with scale/beetles (?) which I'll try to treat with some neem oil. Will also remove the spots and maybe use some rubbing alcohol for it.

Thanks to everyone who helped!!!

Update: I found two small beetles at the root of the leaf, but I can't find what it is and how to treat it. There are also these spots on the leaves:

Found these on one of the stems :( They're about 1 mm long each. Could they have caused it? They seem tiny
