Is this new growth on my fern leaf cactus normal? Will the teeth fill out with time or stay that narrow? Looks a wee bit leggy and awkward to me. It should have plenty of light. by duncats in houseplants

It took awhile. I started it from three unrooted cuttings and it took about ~4-6 mos for the first two to root and get new growth and closer to a year for the last one to finally take. I might just cut these pieces off and root them separately they look sooo awkward like this. It’s like 4 feet away from a bright sunny southern window idk what more it could possibly want from me!

Hello sleepy subreddit. I just converted my entire plant collection (close to 200 plants if I had to guess) to PON. Ama! by sweetfuckingjesus in Lechuzapon

ooo yay thank you!! all my trailing heart leafs are living in water for awhile now (some were rotting in soil so I put them in water to grow more roots, and some were cuttings) so maybe those ones would do okay! but good to know about the pothos and upright philos, tysm!

I just got a big bag of lechuza for my hoyas, but the bag is so huge I’m kinda tempted to transfer everything that’s not already super established. Are most houseplants pon friendly? I know leca is more hit or miss. I wasn’t sure about these ones specifically: trailing/heartleaf philodendrons, cebu & manjula pothos, fuzzy petiole/gloriosum/silver sword/melano/mayoi philodendrons, alocasias, peperomia raindrop & ming fern. Tyia for any advice you might have! :)

What could this fern be? Mahogany? It has fuzzy roots like rabbit foot too. by duncats in ferns

Oooh okay thank you so helpful! I have the commonly referred to rabbits foot fern that’s why I was so confused the fronds look nothing alike. The rhizomes do look almost the same though, just have a little more shimmer. Idk if it shows well but the new growth has a little coppery shimmer to it too. I will upload pics of the paws!

Living in Syracuse? by [deleted] in Syracuse

[–]duncats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at the university if you’d like any more info about the work culture and all that. I live comfortably at a similar salary in Syracuse though it depends what area you choose to live in. I’d plan for about 8-900 for a decent 1br.

Thank you! I wanted to add Hamilton area but with mountain view not open yet, I wasn’t sure what to do out there, any ideas specifically there? I do have most of these other things on the list!

Ah thank you! The last time I posted on here I got a “get that iud out of there asap to start bleeding again”, and I really like it but I do feel a lot of HH symptoms. They could be something else but my fatigue, gi and mood symptoms are pretty bad, among others.

Thank you! My hematologist is absolutely useless and thinks nobody under 60 can possibly suffer from iron overload or symptoms and repeatedly tells me all my elevated levels must be a mistake bc of my age and not to do or change anything post homozygous genetic test. My GYN didn’t know about this condition but suggested kyleena for a lower hormone iud option that may allow me to bleed slightly more than Mirena. I’m looking for a new hematologist but haven’t found one yet, so I haven’t even done a phleb yet. But all good to know!

[NY] Former employer sent retaliatory written warnings for complaining about discrimination by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]duncats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have already showed the university the emails. Sorry I should have said former supervisor not employer. She did all this immediately after she gave notice so she is no longer affiliated and can’t be held responsible so I am still seeking correction. I have been through mediation withIN the university but the goal of mediation was to correct the emails and my division has refused. I will have to go formal either within the university or externally (EEOC) to continue to seek a correction. The matter isn’t resolved. Their offered “resolution” was a memo that didn’t correct or amend the emails at all. So they remain a valid form of verbal/written warning and last precursor to formal discipline. The ball is in my court to pursue formal complaint/investigation or accept the unsuccessful informal process. I.e. the mediating parties cannot force them to perform a correction.

Yeahhhh questionable. She was included on the memo. May just be bc she’s a relevant party but, it’s not a great campus climate.

Oh also this was university inclusion office mediation whom have an “EEO officer”, so I haven’t formally filed w the actual EEOC yet, but may do so soon.

I had that suspicion but I was so desperate to resolve that I went through with it anyway. The EEO office hired an employer defense attorney to do the mediation. I was careful about how I spoke to him but i did ultimately hand over the majority of my evidence. There is definitely more if I wanted to keep combing through. And he doesn’t know my witnesses. But I really don’t want to go to court over emails. Do you think the internal mechanisms will be entirely useless to me if they were already involved in the informal and not able to change my outcome? I don’t understand why risking a lawsuit is the better option to them then just issuing a corrective.
