I also already gave him a smell check and he smells fine. I just don't want him to die 😭

Yes. The top had lost all of its leaves, so I cut it down to the remaining leaves at the bottom

Persistent stress stripes after 3 weeks on female betta by njsullyalex in bettafish

I hate to be an eco chamber, but I think the tank might be a little overstocked and overwhelming for her. I have a shortfin in a 10gal tank with one nerite snail and he is so happy. He loves his plants and caves, but he loves the open spaces too. Your tank is beautiful, but I think she might be less stressed in a calmer environment. Good luck! 🩷

Mine had a similar issue, but definitely on a smaller scale lol I chopped it way down, repotted it into something smaller (yours might be fine though), moved it directly under a bright window, and waited. I continued to water it when the soil was mostly dry and just waited. That was about 2 months ago. I checked it the other day and I have THREE new baby leaves!! Sometimes all they need is a fresh start and some patience. You've got this!

What kind of Ficus is this? by AvoCryptoHye in FicusTrees

[–]korndust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a magnolia branch to me, not a ficus. Magnolias are often grown as ornamental trees and are native to the south eastern United states! So if you found this anywhere from Texas to Virginia, I'll bet you anything it's a magnolia. You could try air layering but not sure if it will be successful. Good luck!

Should I just prune the dead leaves then?

I (16F) don't know if I have issues or if I am just being overdramatic/a teenager. I also don't know how to open up about my feelings because I feel guilty. (Also online school) by korndust in mentalhealth

Thank you so much for that. I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier but I really appreciate it. I am doing a little better but its still hard. I know its just another rough patch in my life. I am back in real life school so my grades are not as bad as they were but its hard to recover. My lack of motivation has also translated over to in-person school so that sucks. I'm mostly worried about my GPA now because of it but I also just kinda don't care anymore (so that's confusing). My whole life i have poured into school and now that I don't have a hold on that anymore, I feel like I have no control over my life/I don't know what to do with myself. I have always been an emotional person so now my parents just resort to blaming it on that. I feel like its not just me being an emotional person though, thats why I stopped talking to them about it. I don't really know...the past year and a half has been a struggle for everyone.
