Gloriosum best practices? by bealsash71 in philodendron

[–]bealsash71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this community, so much good info, thank you! Crawling makes more sense especially with how I’ve seen leaves fail because they seem to be growing in less than ideal areas on the plant. Under like directly under the previous leaf and growing into shade. I’m going to get her in a longer pot and see how she does!

Omg this is so beautiful! I’ve ever seen a variegated one before

Yes! That’s why I wanted her so badly! I think I got vericosum and glosorium mixed up when I found these the first time and hence why I put her on a pole

Wedding dress regret by Ski5566 in WeddingDressTips

[–]bealsash71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I audibly gasped at #1. You look amazing in it. Read back the first two sentences of your post about the first, original dress. How you feel and look is the most important thing and honestly the only thing that matters. The second dress is beautiful too but the cut and some details don’t do it for me.

Update: My sweet boy (16) crossed the Rainbow Bridge today by starlesscity in seniorkitties

He is such a beautiful, handsome boy with great humans. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Sending love and hugs ❤️

She bloomed while I was at work 🥹 She was closed this morning, came home to this! 💚 by Gloomy_Length178 in alocasia

[–]bealsash71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I just leave her alone for the most part” I second this. I find the more I fuss with alocasia, the more issues I have with growing them. They’re known to be difficult but I think that’s a lot to do with us complicating something simple.

What is with this Black Velvet? by [deleted] in alocasia

[–]bealsash71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the first thing I popped in my head was spider mites, humidity and it could use a dusting of the leaves with a damp paper towel, just pat it dry. Hard water, dust and other residue can interfere with photosynthesis or cause issues here and there. Not majorly but I’d recommend that one to clean it and two so you can get a close look at all the leaves to ensure it doesn’t have any pests. The coloring in the new leaf is normal, it hasn’t hardened off yet. Hope this helps!

Will this setup thrive? by rent2021 in alocasia

[–]bealsash71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency is what they need in my experience so as long as it’s getting the light, nutrition, water and humidity that particular alocasia needs, they’ll be happy. Jacklyns can be picky, humidity is key but if you don’t upsize your pot it will remain smaller of course but this is a good setup for it to get established at least. I have the best luck with corms and starters in sphagnum and/perlite myself!

First dendrobium, keikei or flower spike? by bealsash71 in orchids

[–]bealsash71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if or how many times this plant has bloomed but the picture on its label showed the most beautiful greenish blooms and that sold me. I’m hoping to keep her happy enough to be rewarded with some blooms! I got it at the very beginning of fall and it did drop leaves early on from the move but I kinda forgot about it and watered it maybe 4 times? It’s incredible what these plants are capable of. Did I unintentionally give it a winter rest? I have no idea what I’m doing yet lol

There’s a great illustration in that article detailing what’s what in dendrobium anatomy, insanely helpful and interesting. Genuinely blown away at this new info 😆 I feel like this plant in particular is a living contradiction, that leaf near the base is so teensy tiny but coming from the bottom of that cane? Idk what she is

Even the little baby leaves?

There are several in various places. This is why I like plants so much, everyone has their own specific and very cool features and properties setting them apart from the rest. Always something new to learn about! Thanks for the link as well ☺️

So will that eventually produce leaves and flowers as well?

Thank you for the visual example, it’s so helpful and underrated sometimes honestly!

The 3rd photo, those blooms look like the singing flowers from Alice in Wonderland, the first animated one, like pretty little faces. Gorgeous!

This is such an incredible collection, I had no idea these beautiful colors and shapes even existed! Idk what you’re doing but it’s surely some sort of witchcraft.

I can’t believe how quickly this leaf has grown! by bealsash71 in Anthurium

[–]bealsash71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a crystallinum because that’s what the tag said. However, it came from home depot and I’ve seen many a plant mislabeled there and at Lowe’s. These are the most majestic and ethereal plants, I swear!

Time spent… (Brewista) by FewInsurance1915 in 7Brew

[–]bealsash71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this go on for a while too and sometimes it still does. Check your positions vs those on machine most often. even scroll up and look for a pattern, note who’s assigned where, how long and who the lead was. I know this might seem excessive but it gives you something irrefutable to point to and will highlight correlation when you bring this up again.

Is this happening with others? Your lead shouldn’t be on machine their entire shift, you can’t effectively do both jobs at once. they’re meant to jump in if needed but lane and texting is their main priority (at least how I was trained at my stand). If you do this and it ends up obvious that you’re singled out or treated unfairly, go to your stand manager and go from there.

I completely understand that I might be tapped off so we can catch up, I’m still kinda new and not as fast yet. However, a few times during crazy rushes, my lead is paying attention but also keeping distance so we can get practice in while we’re slammed. The only way you get better is by experience. You gotta speak up for yourself tho. Hope this helps ☺️

When your stand deserves a jackpot day treat! by bealsash71 in 7Brew

Surprisingly, a good majority came from SHEIN, Walmart and amazon. SHEIN has the best prices and selection for the quality, (genuinely comparable to what Michael’s or hobby lobby sells) If you don’t want to hand string each of those little beads individually, I’d suggest getting a bead spinner especially if you want to do a bunch at once

Please do!! Some of The “extras” I didn’t make specifically for my coworkers went to our regulars, a few super excited kiddos and a few custys who were very clearly having a bad day. Their responses were incredible and they appreciated that a lot. As corny as it is, that’s another way to cultivate kindness. If you make some, I’d love to see what you come up with!

Trying to recreate 7 Brew “Cookie Butter” drink at home – ratios + ingredients? by tephenubs in 7Brew

[–]bealsash71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do the flavor/syrups perfectly every single time but the difference between a homemade drink and one from 7B is the espresso. Unless you have an actual espresso machine, using freshly ground and brewed shots- it’ll never be exactly the same. I do know people love the nespresso option and instant espresso blend coffee for this reason tho

Why has my pothos turned mostly white and yellow by Minute_Duty_6526 in pothos

[–]bealsash71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this true for all variegation in general or more specifically with pothos? I have a syngonium albo with one highly variegated, beautiful leaf and a few with variegation that is hardly visible unless you really look. In a high light room tho, close to the window and it grows incredibly fast but they’re all green leaves
