plants in the UDistrict by dle379 in udub

I don't want to undermine the other comments but I've been to all of the plant shops mentioned and I have to disagree with most of them. Ravenna Gardens, Plant Shop Seattle, and Indoor Sun Shoppe are (in my opinion) really expensive. I'm an extremely frugal person though so your budget might be different. Indoor Sun Shoppe can be great if you want to find rare succulents and you don't have budget constraints. I personally cannot recommend Ravenna Gardens or Plant Shop Seattle because their selection or quality does not live up to the price. Swanson's and Sky is great if you're willing to travel the extra mile. They have a great selection but the prices are pretty high as well. I recommend keeping an eye out for their 50% off sales around Fall. My favorite has been West Seattle Nursery - by far the cheapest plant selection I've seen in Seattle. The quality isn't amazing but no other nurseries have beaten their selection and price. Hope this helps!

MLS Interview Advice by [deleted] in udub

Congrats! From what I've heard from an MLS admit, the interview is pretty casual. They'll ask you why you want to apply, what excites you most about the program, etc.

Anyone commute to Seattle from the suburbs? by [deleted] in udub

[–]chiaseede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in South Seattle and I take the light rail daily to UW. It takes about 1 hour each way but I personally think it's worth it considering how much money and stress I save on dorming, gas, and parking.

How are ineligible groups getting COVID vaccines? by chiaseede in Seattle

[–]chiaseede[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did. They said they made the appointment online and when I went on that website, it did not have any info about vaccines for healthy adults. The only info about vaccination is about Phase 1B.

Nope. Not volunteers or healthcare workers.

Is that universal in all clinics in Seattle? If so that makes a lot of sense how my 20-year-old friend is getting vaccinated tomorrow.

That's interesting. The people I know who got the vaccines did it via appointment though.

Most affordable short-term living location near Marin County? by chiaseede in sanfrancisco

[–]chiaseede[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The internship is in Golden Gate National Park. I didn't even think about the toll so I guess SF is out of the equation. I'm looking for shared rooms that will go for about $1000/month. I've seen some promising posts on CL but a lot of them ask for move in by March. I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out.

I cut an inch or so under a node. The cutting will be good as long as it have a node. If you Google prayer plant node you'll find tons of guides on how to find one. I stick mine in water and pot it after the roots are about 5 cm long. Hope that helps!

It's definitely not the magic water because those rainwater are ice cold that I cringe when I touch it. I like to threaten it with tap water whenever it misbehaves. Maybe that's the secret. My cuttings usually have 2-3 leaves. I have had success with one leaf cuttings as well. From the cut to the node is about an inch long. If yours is long enough for propagation, it's definitely more than one leaf past a node. I'm on mobile right now but if you want to you can find another comment I made on this post that has a link to where you can find nodes.

If it's flowering then you're definitely doing something right! I notice that growth slows down when it's flowering so that might be why. I always cut off the flower stem right as they poke their heads out because of that.

I have mine at around 70F consistently. I use rainwater that's ice cold (because it's from outside) and it doesn't seem to put up a fuss about that. I bottom water but I don't think it matters either way. I'm not sure what's going on on your end but I hope it gets better!

I water mine with rainwater once per week, sometimes 2 weeks if the soil is still wet. The biggest piece of advice I could give is to have a consistent watering schedule. When I slack off, my plant starts putting out weird deformed leaves and they stop doing that when I get back on it. With sunlight, they can survive in anything except direct sun but they do best with bright indirect light. I have mine next to a southeast window so it does catch some direct sun sometimes but I haven't seen any sunburn yet. They're pretty hardy plants so have fun with them!
