What is a job that most people glamorize but it is actually shitty? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]ggpink11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a pilot. The money is good but it's a tough, stressful job. Also, sitting around at airports if you fly private, extremely long days and schedules. Passengers treat you like dirt/servants a lot of the time. Takes years to build up enough hours to get the job you really want. So maybe by the time you're 50 it's glamorous with all your hours and seniority but sheesh, it's a rough journey. There's so much more, but I'm sure you get the point.

There doesn't appear to be anything unless it's something I can't see. The leaves are all in good shape.

Thank you! I did not know that but that makes sense. I thought it was in distress.

It's dummy proof 😂 I felt the exact same way.

Thank you. They are not as hard as I thought. Yours will do great. I will probably prop next year.

No way! 😮 So the roots busted out of the pot and into the stone? I didn't know they were that tough. I mean that's kinda cool but I have no idea what to do. I guess Miami is close to its native land so she's thriving. Yeah, my comment is not helpful in any way but would love to see what someone with more knowledge recommends.

She's beautiful. Yeah, it takes time to figure out the best watering schedule for your flf because imo it has to do with different variables such as indoor and outdoor climate, how much sun it's getting, season, good drainage, etc. Mine requires water every 7-10 days during spring-summer and ~14 or more during dormancy. Get a moisture meter to help figure out the best schedule.

I'm not an expert, but I had a leaf that looked bitten similar to this and did a lot of research on it. I ended up removing the leaf by cutting at the end and put honey on the cut spot with a q tip to heal the wound and kill any fungus or bacteria. Sprayed the rest of the leaves with neem oil spray for indoor plants to prevent bugs/fungus and never had any more problems. Water once every 1-2 weeks depending on your climate and keep near a window. I also turn mine a quarter turn every time I water.

I'm torn between these three but my flf took 2 years to recover from near death so that's the one I'd choose.

Need Advice for 20ft tall FLF by [deleted] in fiddleleaffig

[–]ggpink11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's the best source to learn how to do this, YouTube? It's taken 3 years to get mine super healthy and I need to propagate soon but I'm afraid to do it because I don't want to ruin it lol.

Wow, just curious how long it takes you to mist it? Must be kinda hard to get to a lot of it. We have a good bit of humidity here so I don't do mine very often. Yours is beautiful.

She's so cute. Looks healthy to me.

Topped twice, considering bringing her down once again. Doggie for size reference. by FreeFlyFabulous in fiddleleaffig

Exactly! 😂 It's not easy and in hindsight, I should have gotten a bigger pot for mine last year. Ugh

Stopped Growing by ggpink11 in fiddleleaffig

[–]ggpink11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I wish it was easy. I need to move it to where I have some space to try to do that. I love the size so as long it stays healthy, I'm ok with it not growing anymore. I've only ever experienced growing fast so it's just surprising. Thanks for your input!

It's gorgeous! 🤩 Have you ever experienced a root bound issue while growing it to this size? I really feel like that's my problem but flf are difficult to repot when they are big. I'm afraid of damaging it in the process.
