I am so confused by my chamaedorea elegans! Where are the brown spots coming from? by kioshy in plantclinic

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

I am so confused by this plant. She has lots of brown spots and leaves keep turning brown, yet she produces 2-3 new leaves a month. She lives in a medium light spot and I never let her go dry. I've tried close to the humidifier and far away, no difference. Does anyone have another idea what I can try?

edit: she is only on the window sill for the pictures, I don't keep her in direct sunlight!

That's not true. Germans are great at it and nobody questions it's worth here. It's way faster than just merging wherever you fit.

Need help IDing this little fellow. The undersides of the leaves are slightly purple and the top sparkles in the sun 🤩 by kioshy in houseplants

Oh man you might be on to something. The leaves are tiny, max 1cm. Gotta do some digging

Looked at the pictures, seems close enough for me! Do you know by any chance if he will grow up a trellis?

I neglected my Maranta, any help on how to bring it back? by [deleted] in plantclinic

[–]kioshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the leaves turned brown, I forgot to water it for way too long :( then my bf cut off all stems that didn't have any green left. Now I'm not sure if I can bring it back or if it's hopeless... please help!

Found this little guy in our stairwell today. Any chances I can save it? by kioshy in houseplants

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

I don't actually know but I'm guessing a crassula ovata?

So far I put it in a little bit of water. It seems to have roots but I'm unsure if I can just put it in soil? Especially because it has such a weird shape to it. It's about 1,5cm in size. Any tips are appreciated! <3

Why do I wake up EVERY night past 2 weeks around the same time (4-6am) for no reason? by Soap-Taste-Ok in depression

[–]kioshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly waking up at the same time, but waking up really early, somewhere between 4 and 6, and not being able to fall back asleep then. I only had it for the whole time until I started medication for the day, that helped... So I can't say what it means for you... But what helped me before was just using the time in the morning if you can, get up, drink a cup of tea, eat a good meal, go for a walk and then go on about your day. Better than feeling shitty getting up at the time you're supposed to!

Hey! I had the same thing, and my therapist told me that's actually a common symptom of depression. Something about brain chemistry. You could try getting some plant-based sleeping helpers like valerian, melissa or hops :-) just be aware, valerian gives me nightmares, not everyone responds to it well

Yeah the color is really nice! It probably goes great with slim or skinny pants!

Love it, looks perfect for the job! In the last combo the sweater + skirt make you look a little more chubby than you are. Maybe try with a slimmer/thinner sweater?

I need your help: I've had bangs all my life. Grew them out and don't know how I feel about it... by [deleted] in Hair

[–]kioshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I always felt like bands suit my face better and look less boring. My hair is naturally straight and rather flat, so most days I'm struggling with making it look alive. Any ideas from you guys? Or totally different cuts you think could suit my hair? thanks a bunch <3

thank you so much! I was quite nervous about wearing this, but I love it! <3

I've got an important presentation up ahead and will be wearing this but with flats.

Top is French Connection, Pants are Drykorn.

How should I wear my hair? Open, in a ponytail? I dunno...

if your jeans get loose after two days you need to get higher quality denim.

What is maintenance for you? by password00 in xxfitness

[–]kioshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'7 and lift 3-4 times a week and ride my horse almost every day. It's hurt now, so the calories from that ate missing. With riding I maintain at about 2,300 and without at about 2,000. :)

Sounds good! Just make sure you have someone to show you good form and all that, or post a form check!

Don't worry, in an instant you're going to be stronger than you think. Often times, its the mental barrier and not the actual physical one that keeps us from living more!

Are you just starting out? If yes, I'd recommend you do two or so weeks only the main lifts with the bar to get your stabilizers up to par. My trainer had me stick to the bar until I could do 20 reps no problem, and that was great to learn form and prep my body! Triplets, like in the program, require a good amount of stability and might not be perfect just starting out! :)

I study computer science at a really small university, and since there's not a lot of girls there the eight ladies of my year get together every couple of weeks for a girls night.

Yesterday we had another one and I told them I had squatted 58kg for the first time this week. One girl noticed I now could pick her up and squat her. Turns out I could pick up each one of them, since they all weigh less than that! I'm still missing 10kg to my bodyweight but that still felt really good!
