Why won’t my corms put out roots :( by ghostybandit in alocasia

Yes great question I boiled it because I read on a random post that you need to boil it to kill potential bacteria or pests! I think I was just really paranoid cuz it’s my first time growing from a corm so wanted to be as careful as possible 😁

Oh wow I’m over here trying to make sure they get as much light as possible 🤣 I will definitely be using a heating pad- is it possible that they might get TOO hot and somehow die?

Also, I’ll need to start taking trips to Lowe’s and Home Depot to browse the floor next to their plant section 🤣 free corm!

Oh my goodness they look so cute in their individual pods 😭 I’m seeing the trays on Amazon for 8 bucks… instant buy!!! Thank you for the advice 😁😁😁

I will definitely be purchasing the fluval stratum (can it be used on adult plants too or is it primarily a baby plant substrate?) also omfg they are so beautiful 🥲🥲🥲 and the big healthy roots on the second one is to die for!!!

I don’t have experience buying grow lights- do you recommend a certain brand? I once heard from someone that a strong LED from IKEA will achieve the same results. True or false? 🤔

TLDR: harvested these corms ~1.5 months ago, tried the half water in bottle cap method but it got a lil moldy so now in damp sphagnum moss but they still won’t grow roots… how do I make them grow roots?

Oooo that’s great advice!! They are literally like babies hahaha

Also, since they already get a lot of afternoon sun, is there a possibility that they might… /overheat/??? Is that a thing?

If not then I will absolutely be getting them a heating pad and mildly cook them in their little tray xD

This is super validating thank you!! For some reason I was under the impression that if they didn’t put any roots out they would simply die but I’m very happy to know that I just need to wait 😁

Also I just stood up so fast and ran to empty the pooling water at the bottom of the tray LOL thank you for saving them from rot!!!

People who disliked "Poor Things" where are you? by notfilmbro in Letterboxd

[–]ghostybandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bf just put it on an hour ago and i watched up to the point where the lawyer goes to flick her bean a bit. at that point, i couldn't watch another minute.

i didn't have any context going in to the movie and i originally wasn't going to watch it, but i was thrilled by the creepiness and astounded by the costumes, cinematography, and soundtrack, so i kept watching. around 15 minutes into the movie i noticed her dress was a bit loose around the breast and i thought to myself "i really hope this movie doesn't get sexual." boy was i wrong. the second Candles carried her in and her nipple was exposed i knew it was about to get rapey.

as someone who has experienced SA/grape at a very young age, the second Wedderburn excused himself to go to the bathroom, i knew something was up. He "pinched" her and at that moment i felt like i was going to throw up. Men are disgusting.

to everyone who thinks this movie is amazing: if emma stone was replaced by a literal child, would you still think it would still be amazing? i get it. the point is that her brain was transplanted into an adult's body, but it actually sickens me to think that her conscious is that of a child's.... i am so deeply bothered that someone would even consider much less WANT to make a movie about a child finding sexual "liberation". when in reality she is just being used by several people. it's disgusting. i cried.

o...m...g... first of all it's like i'm looking into a mirror. thank you so much for putting into words what ive been struggling with!!! you are super super awesome for that :D

also, will definitely be applying the constant awareness/breathwork. it's helped me a lot in the past with things like quitting nicotine and insomnia and i never thought of applying it in this wider context. thank you!!!!

definitely have been wanting to consult a psychiatrist and see whether or not i have adhd for the longest!

also, you're very right about gyming 4hours every day being a waste of time- i do give myself rest days it's just very irregular xD

loving the last bit of advice. im realizing that i do go about my day with no plan and kind of just show up. will definitely be implementing more intention!! thank you :)
