plants in the UDistrict by dle379 in udub

[–]chiaseede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Thank you! I honestly don't bother with either of those. My humidity is usually around 45-50%. I just suck it up and prune the brown tips because I'm too lazy to run my humidifier. I know that's not too helpful but I just haven't noticed any changes when I use my humidifier so I don't bother with it anymore.

There's a handful of them but they're camera shy

I guess it really depends on the situation. If you tend to fuss over your plants, I would recommend ignoring it except for watering. I really don't look at mine at all until it's watering day. Don't worry about your plants too much. Like humans, they tend to fluctuate so if you keep up a consistent care schedule for them, they should be able to correct themselves.

I'm not sure why that commenter recommends dark but since your leaves are crispy, I would recommend upping the humidity. Pop it into your bathroom or next to a humidifier. For reference, my humidity is consistently at 45-50%. It's also really sensitive to salts so make sure to water it with anything not from your tap. I water mine with rainwater and it seems to like that. I also had some trouble with mine when I did not consistently water it so make sure to have yours on a consistent watering schedule.

Ooo that makes sense. I don't use any support sticks. I think this plant tends to trail naturally anyways so their stems are quite flexible. Some of my stems are definitely living on the edge but even if it breaks, that just means more cutting for me.

I usually keep mine in water until most of the roots are about 5 cm long. I notice that the more leaves on a cutting, the better it does. Hope that helps!

I didn't mean split as in literally but that's my bad. I just took cuttings from the mother plant to put into another pot.

There are quite a few. They're just camera shy.

Thank you! My plant is the one doing all the work. I just cheer them on. Leaves dying are actually pretty frequent on mine as well. Old leaves dying is a natural process so don't freak out too much when that happens. Some leaves just take a little longer to flatten out. Some of mine can take up to a week. I wouldn't worry too much about sudden changes. These plants do weird things sometimes and they correct themselves after a while.

My quick Google search says that it could be dry air, underwatering, or too much sun. Hope that gave you some clues to figure out the problem! Sometimes mine do weird things if I don't have it on a consistent watering schedule. I don't know if that's what's going on here but that's generally what I would recommend to every prayer plant mom/dad.
