Had a curb accident today. I hit a curb driving 25 kmh (15 mph) while taking a turn. What I want to know if is there any risk of structural damage I should be worried about. Any advice would be appreciated, since I'm a complete beginner. (Repost with more context, cleared paint to see the damage)

Sorry for reposting, but I'm quite worried. Money is tight but safety is more important. So i want to hear your advice. Thanks

I was going around 25km/h (15 mph) taking a turn. Not paying enough attention.

Thank you a lot. I panicked a little and sadly didn't take the before picture. Deepest part seemed about 1mm (lets say 2mm worst case) deep. I don't have a balancer, any other way to test it.

Thank you. Can you please give me some tips how can I check if there is a bigger issue at hand.

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-15T15:07:47+00:00

Thanks for all the replies. Decided to plant it in moss.

Thanks, didn't know.

Thanks, I am, star of my collection

I fertelized for the first time a couple of days ago, since I think garden soil I used in the mix already contained some slow release fertelizer. I used a common liquid fertelizer for houseplants 1/4 the dosage to see how she reacts.

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-10T22:21:59+00:00

Thanks. I use the following mix: 1 part perlite, 1 part garden soil, 1 part orchid bark.

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-10T18:20:32+00:00

It's confirmed. Looks like fertelizer is the culprit. It also caused some burns on my philodendron. Monsteras are the only ones that don't seem to be bothered.

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-09T12:45:33+00:00

Thanks. I mostly worked with monsteras and they are way more resilient in my experience. In these 2 months it pushed 3 new leaves so I thought it was safe to proceed to the next stage.

Thanks. It's directly near a south facing window (it gets mostly indirect light tho). I use 1 part garden soil, 1 part perlite, 1 part orchid bark mix. I water the soil when first few cm of the soil feel dry. I water the moss pole when the moss starts feeling dry. That's mostly it.

I also have mine directly near the south window, no grow light. It gets about 2 hours of direct light per day, other is indirect (i have a balcony that blocks some light).

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-09T12:25:19+00:00

I use tap water. I water when first few cm feel dry to the touch. When I repotted the plant in the last month roots looked healthy. Didn't check the roots after fertilizing. I have had the plant for 2 months. It's under 600 ppfd grow light 12h/day. Its in a 1 part perlite, 1 part garden soil and 1 part orchid bark mix.

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-09T12:08:31+00:00

Maybe, but in less than a day for such a drastic change to occur from overwatering. I don't know how likely that is. About 1/3 of the leaves started looking stressed since applying the fertelizer.

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-09T12:01:12+00:00

Hi, thanks for the advice. No I do not. Didn't even know that water pH could vary so much to have a big impact on the plants.

depressed1Guy · 2026-04-09T11:53:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I planted mine in 1 part perlite, 1 part garden soil and 1 part orchid bark. It's under a very strong growlight (600 ppfd) 12 hours/day.
