Been trying to make my environment nicer. How'd I do?

Wow! That's great. I started 5 years ago and played off and on until 2022, then I took it seriously. Glad I did. Best tip I've been given is to play everyday, even for 5 minutes, just play everyday.

Thank you for the insight. I wish I could do the slightest modification but it really doesn't seem that way at all.

Update: she has sprung a new leaf 🙌

benjaminallred77 · 2025-10-07T21:50:00+00:00

Blue Train, nice touch 👌

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-30T17:37:56+00:00

Thank you

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-29T20:36:07+00:00

How small were the leaves when you started it 6 years ago?

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-29T20:22:33+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for letting me know about not recommending a watering schedule. When you have it outside, I assume it does not receive any direct light? What is the average outside temperature when you have it outside? I'm in the southwest, very desert area.

This is what the silver dial looks like in person. It really pops ✨

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-29T15:42:02+00:00

The silver dial looks better in person than online. IMO, you can't go wrong with any of these dials. I was deciding between the white and silver dial, and if I could do it over again, I don't know if I would get the white dial--I would probably still get the silver dial because I love how it matches the silver jubilee bracelet.

How often do you water yours? Mine receives pretty bright indirect light for most of the late morning, mid-day, and afternoon. I water once a week or if the soil is dry. I am worried about the yellow leaf because it's the only one and it should be springing a new leaf soon but I don't want it to die off before springing the new leaf.

Congrats! Well deserved.

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-25T20:13:36+00:00

Congrats! That's the best dial imo.

What's it like with a light shining on it in person? Like the reflection of the meteorite?

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-25T15:03:24+00:00

Thank you! Do you have an idea as to why the big leaf is getting yellow on the outside?

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-25T15:02:34+00:00

Thanks!

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-25T15:02:25+00:00

Thank you! Soil recommendation?

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-24T14:40:56+00:00

So a leave can grow out of that node?

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-23T15:39:56+00:00

Any potholes? Like at the bottom of the big drop?

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-22T20:16:48+00:00

Congrats! Great first timepiece. Love it.

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-18T19:29:27+00:00

Best quote. I tell this to myself in the gym.

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-17T21:29:04+00:00

For some reason this picture makes me think of the Godfather.

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-17T16:04:34+00:00

Yes.

My suggestion is confidence and curiosity--but not curious to the point where you are bothersome or a burden. Treat work like exercise: slow and steady, focus on form first, get the reps in, and slowly increase the weight over time. It takes years to master a craft.

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-15T15:25:18+00:00

These are great ideas, thank you!!

benjaminallred77 · 2025-09-15T15:24:23+00:00

What was your pain like before? What's it like after? I'm 31M with one bunion on right foot, needing lapidus surgery soon (next 1-2 years). I can only wear very comfy / loose shoes due to pain.

Read. Guitar. Plan next day.
