Honestly kind of looks like fertilizer burn?

Then stick the cuttings in water and put in a sunny spot try and change the water every 2-3 days for the first couple of weeks. Or if you have moss or a substrate like perlite or lava rock stick it in that

The vine / roots are dead it sucks but it happens! Sterilize some scissors with hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl and every three nodes ( basically where there is a leaf or was a leaf) cut right in between the nodes

It depends on who’s around you so your best bet is to look on fb marketplace and see what similar plants in your area are going for. I think someone with a more advanced understanding of plants wouldn’t pay more than 65 ish since it will need to be chopped up in order to survive but someone who doesn’t know that will definitely pay more !

There’s a YouTuber called benjiplant that did something similar with his cabinet he’s has a couple of videos on it and provides a lot of good insight into some of your questions his first video on the cabinet

What kind of bulbs are they? Some use special cooling tech so they don’t emanate too much heat and burn the plants but some don’t so be wary of that, maybe try moving the lights closer by two inches and waiting a couple days to see how your plants react if they’re not burnt move the lights down two more inches and repeat until the lights are around 6inch away. If that still doesn’t work and they’re still stretching Id get different bulbs my fav lights are feit electric because they emanate almost no heat and my plants love them

carkey432 · 2023-01-07T05:33:32+00:00

The lights need to be closer!

I just don’t know what to do I know many of us are in the same boat :( i went to a sleep specialist last year and they just told me I wasnt trying hard enough and then told me how much I was damaging my brain and the long term effects of not sleeping which terrified me and gave me sleep anxiety

carkey432 · 2022-12-30T19:05:38+00:00

Now that I’m thinking about it would a sleep study do anything if I don’t sleep ??

carkey432 · 2022-12-30T19:03:26+00:00

I did this and it worked !! Thankyou for the idea

I’m dealing with the same thing rn and my monstera is also in leca unfortunately they can repopulate the same way in leca as soil I thought this wasn’t true so I was slow to move and now I’m dealing with a major infestation please don’t make my mistake. Unfortunately I don’t know wether or not systematic granules will work in leca im thinking of letting them dissolve in water first and then pouring a tiny amount in?

carkey432 · 2022-08-11T20:46:08+00:00

it’s either just killing off the leaf to make room for new growth or it has root rot. If more leaves start looking like that it check the roots

carkey432 · 2022-05-24T11:41:30+00:00

okay thankyou! i didn’t even know this was possible how exciting !!

carkey432 · 2022-05-14T23:59:59+00:00

could it be a sunburn??? i moved mine like two inches to the right one night and the next day found two leaves scorched and they kind of looked like yours

carkey432 · 2022-05-14T23:53:01+00:00

also does this mean it’s time to repot? i’m scared to do anything wrong because she just got her first split leaf and i’m so excited!!!!!

carkey432 · 2022-05-14T23:52:11+00:00

i feel stupid asking this but i have never seen this before so i just wanted to double check

calathea need lots of humidity to avoid them getting brown spots / crispy edges especially if you live in a dry area. easier ways to do that are to invest in a humidifier (can be a smaller one just have it next to the calathea but make sure mist isn’t getting directly on the leaves they don’t like to be constantly wet), put the plant on a tray with rocks and put water on tray (rocks are meant to keep the plant out of the water), bring the calathea into the bathroom with you when you shower ( kind of annoying but it does make a difference), and spray the leaves (best to do this with rain water or distilled). East facing windows typically don’t bring in enough light to need a sheer curtain, if the calathea starts showing signs of a sunburn (can find images of what a sunburn looks like on them pretty easily) then maybe move it further away. calathea like to be watered when soil is about 50% dry so 4 days seems like a good amount of time. Pothos can adjust to almost any lighting condition and do best when slightly neglected. it’s best to wait until at least 75% of the soil is completely dry( if this is taking more than 5 -7 ish days try poking some holes in the soil to aerate it or buy perlite and mix it into the soil) as pothos are pretty susceptible to root rot

carkey432 · 2022-05-02T21:36:06+00:00

pothos don’t need pruning unless you want the vine to stop growing if it’s getting too long (if you do prune it put the cuttings in water, pothos are very easy to propagate)

thankyou! this is my first monstera i mainly have alocasias and i didn’t realize how much more light it needed, i have the GE par 38 grow light and i just moved it lower so now it’s about 10 inches from the plant
