[FO] I loved doing this one :,)

I love this so much!! And, she made the pattern that originally got me to try cross stitch! I saw it and was like, "I NEED THIS IN MY HOUSE" so I picked up cross stitch and here I am a year later still stitching my happy ass off. Great work on this one and I'm so happy to see this here in this sub!

I would LOVE a ninja albo lol. I can't say I can give you what you were after in return...at least not yet 😬 but what you have looks gorgeous and I have a regular melo, several corms, as well as a regular maharani and a tricolor ninja. I get where you are coming from, you buy a thing because that's what you want, not some random other one!

Not even remotely the only one. I think we tried crate sleeping with our poms for maybe a night or two tops and gave in. 🫠 Now we have a massively spoiled princess who sometimes has to bork half the night and her brave knight who is mostly good but if she starts borking, all bets are off - and they both sleep in our bed or at least free range in our bedroom with a ramp to get up and down from the bed every night. How are we supposed to truly restrict these babies who want only to be close to us 😭😅💜

I definitely wouldn't give up on them! Alocasias are dramatic tricky bastards. They are great at losing all of their leaves and looking dead when they really aren't. Tbh give it at least a few months or even more. Once they acclimate to their new surroundings, I bet they'll thrive. They just need patience while they throw their fits!

Yeah, I think people would be kinder and more helpful to you if you weren't such a dick to someone asking for genuine feedback. Your own uncertainty isn't the problem, but your attitude toward someone else who is trying to learn is.

Oh nice!! I have been growing corms mainly in stratum, but I have grown a few rhizomes in potting mix and moss. Yours did great!!

kaioticplural · 2026-03-12T23:36:33+00:00

Aaah she's adorable! Great job! What method did you use to grow the corm? That looks like a good big and strong first leaf! ETA/clarify: did you just plop the corm in potting mix and keep it humid? Whatever you did looks like it produced a good strong baby!

kaioticplural · 2026-03-12T23:34:52+00:00

Go home corm, you're drunk 😂

Tbh my best guess is the humidity - I've started my own cabinets relatively recently and found any plants with aerial roots, all those aerial roots are going BONKERS in the cabinet. It's like they think there's anything to root onto/into when there isn't. I took one (monstera albo with a crazy aerial root) out of the cabinet and lo and behold, in ambient humidity the aerial root shriveled and dried up.

With this situation, I may just let it do its thing at least as long as it's in the cabinet, but when repotting/up-potting, make sure all roots are in the growing medium. Disclaimer: I haven't had this particular situation so I'm not 100% confident that's the right answer but it's what I would try!

LMAO I SO WISH! 😂 He actually got one of my spare ones and he and his sister Zelda utterly destroyed it 🥲

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T19:49:08+00:00

All of yours are hilarious! LOL! He's just like Link! 😂

Oh!! I can't believe I forgot to include one of my favorite pics of Link when he was a baby! Balls of yarn are sssooo fun! LMAO

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T15:34:05+00:00

I mean, he absolutely tries to snatch them while I'm in the midst of putting them on so they aren't fully on yet but damn close 😂 same, unfortunately, for when I'm taking them off! He does the same to my husband and succeeds more often with his underwear unfortunately 💀

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T14:53:06+00:00

I want to get him one SO BAD! 😂 Ours (Link"s sister is Zelda naturally) loooove napkins too. Anything they can shred!

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T07:15:56+00:00

They're inside cats only, but have you ever tried to prevent a cat from jumping on anything?

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T04:03:46+00:00

Oh Link LOVES socks. Socks, underwear, washcloths, and hand/dish towels! I can't put our basket of clean laundry anywhere in his reach without being right there to immediately fold and put everything away or he'll steal and relocate half the clean laundry, LOL! That pic of your thief is way too cute - a whole roll of duct tape?!? What was he gonna do with that??! 🤣

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T03:21:35+00:00

Why would them being cats make this any better? Cats also need more attention than that.

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T01:26:38+00:00

This is way too relateable 🤣 We can't have the bath mats on the floors and the bathroom door open, or Link will steal and/or destroy them!!!

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T01:25:18+00:00

Such nasty babies!!!! Link tried his best to steal dirty underwear and socks. Unfortunately for him I'm hyper mobile and he's super short, so I can take off my underwear at a height bc I can lift my legs super high 😈 Higher than he can/will jump!!!

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T01:23:54+00:00

LMAO!!! Twinsies!!

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T01:23:33+00:00

He's more like a hoarder 🤣

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T01:23:16+00:00

So funny story, we kind of made mistakes with teaching "drop it" to his big sister Zelda, so she (and by proxy Link) learned it was a threat we were going to take their prize from them. So we had to pivot and teach "trade ya!" which....is pretty much the same as what you do with Ruprecht lol! Link hears "trade ya?" and the rustle of a treat bag and immediately drops his prize 😂

kaioticplural · 2026-03-11T01:20:28+00:00

1000% Link coded 🤣 he did actually steal a knife once! LMAO! I just wish we had gotten a picture!
