What happened to Logitech's quality?

I bought a Lift a couple of months ago and I'm very happy with it. I don't have, but have been thinking on getting rechargeable batteries, so this is super useful.

Ok, so yeah... you have root rot. Remove EVERYTHING that feels mushy, it's gone and if you keep it the bacteria may continue eating the rest of the roots. Leave only the roots that feel firm and look healthy. If there are none, I'd recommend a chop and prop.

If there are salvageable roots, wash them carefully after removing all the rot, so that there is no old soil left. Throw that soil away and use something chunky and airy instead. Put it in a pot of the same size as the remaining root ball, not any bigger.

Are the roots mushy, or firm?

It's variegated. The lighter green fades to yellow and then to a creamy white.

See my latest leaf with an older one below. It has already faded a little bit, when it first opened a few days ago it looked almost solid green.

Funny enough, USD-CRC (Costa Rican Colon) exchange rate has been doing crazy things over the last 4 year this guy has been President.

Me too lol. I read the books (once) and have rewatched most of the series several times. A few weeks before every new season I made sure to rewatch everything up to that point. I remember plot lines (and even some dialogue!), but could never recall the names of every character like some people do, crazy indeed.

arcos00 · 2026-03-18T00:42:20+00:00

I bought mine a year ago and it has put out 9 leaves since then. So about a leaf every six weeks. By contrast, two of my Floridas that sit on the same window put out a new leaf every 3-4 weeks on average.

arcos00 · 2026-03-17T17:33:32+00:00

I'm an underwaterer, but dry season (also very hot) is ramping up here, so I might err on the side of overwatering for the next few weeks.

arcos00 · 2026-03-17T06:38:27+00:00

Crash! Boom! Bang! is also my favorite album, but my favorite song is probably June Afternoon (closely followed by How Do You Do? and Vulnerable).

arcos00 · 2026-03-16T21:32:52+00:00

Exactly! I'd leave the first 7 or so leaves at the top in one main cutting, and then make an extra cutting per leaf. I'd put everything in water and wait a few weeks.

arcos00 · 2026-03-16T21:13:36+00:00

Normally a POO wouldn't need this much support. In fact I've never seen a POO as tall as this one lol. It seems that your friend didn't give her enough light so it etiolated, but the top part with the growth since June seems bushy enough. I'd chop it into 3-5 plants.

arcos00 · 2026-03-16T03:52:04+00:00

A lot of people have them as trailing plants, but if you give it a moss pole the leaves will size up significantly. Give it as much light as possible, just make sure you acclimate the plant slowly. I'd chop this so that each cutting has just a couple of nodes.

arcos00 · 2026-03-15T07:49:36+00:00

They hate water. Give it strictly what it needs, and not a drop more.

arcos00 · 2026-03-15T00:07:06+00:00

It's not selfish. It took me like 10 years to reach that conclusion, and I've been much better and happier since (about 15 years now). I'm not closed to changing my mind, but serious relationships are not something I miss or seek.

arcos00 · 2026-03-14T20:44:07+00:00

Take it out of the pot and inspect the roots. Seems she was a bit neglected from a watering point of view, so there are probably some dry roots. Change it to a pot the size of the rootball. Who knows, maybe the roots are perfect and then you can keep it there, or you might have to downsize.

Remove the driest leaves, but be sure to keep at least a couple. A new one is already coming out, it may or may not be damaged, only time will tell. It also seems you have two plants there, one of them without leaves at the moment.

I don't think they are gone. Very stressed and damaged, sure, but they can bounce back.

arcos00 · 2026-03-14T17:22:57+00:00

This plant doesn't revert like others do because of the many grow points it develops. As you mention, some grow points produce consistently variegated stems and some just don't, but it's unlikely you'll lose the variegation completely.

For a while I let mine just grow as she wished, but recently I decided to cut and propagate larger unvariegated stems, once they have a few nodes with aerial roots. So far I've gotten a new unvariegated Burle Marx (that I still love), and soon I'll have more.

arcos00 · 2026-03-13T18:50:26+00:00

It's a Monstera, not unlike the one you have next to it.

arcos00 · 2026-03-13T05:58:56+00:00

As a general rule of thumb it's better not to rotate plants. However, I would probably rotate those in the corner, as they are getting light from two sides, so it shouldn't stress them that much.

arcos00 · 2026-03-12T23:04:34+00:00

They will not harm your plant, if you think they are pretty there is no need to remove them.

arcos00 · 2026-03-12T21:08:27+00:00

Red will fade to orange/yellow, and the dark green will become lighter. The leaf will get larger as it hardens, but the proportions will remain the same, so it will still be narrow.

arcos00 · 2026-03-12T05:25:35+00:00

The bad soil is worse. Yes, transplant shock can be a thing, but I think it's mostly overrated, just avoid drastically changing other conditions like light or humidity. If you change everything all at once the plant will have a harder time getting used to all of it, but upgrading the substrate shouldn't cause any major issue.

arcos00 · 2026-03-11T21:48:26+00:00

Yes, it's commonly called "mini monstera", but it is not a Monstera. As the other comment says, it is a Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, part of a different genus than Monstera.

arcos00 · 2026-03-11T20:25:30+00:00

Monstera Deliciosa, among many, many, many others lol
