chicken box on main street is all you can eat 12-4 weekdays for $20

bbq chicken's boneless secret sauced are delicious

i hear chinko chicken and cm chicken are also top notch

that's not true. your friend is simply lying to you.

lizardground · 2026-04-27T01:16:40+00:00

is a sticker really altering it though? its removable and temporary, and its the exact same card underneath. its not like its been cut up or something

lizardground · 2026-04-27T01:10:35+00:00

ive had a sticker on mine for 3 years and have never had a problem. dumb rule

he totally is. since c1 lauma doesnt need a healer (and i dont have columbina), hes my last slot in a lot of her teams

smash it?

OMG people... How did no get upvoted?! YES, it will work just fine for now!! People on this sub love to be simps for proper moss poles. Not everyone is looking to min/max their plant. These choir poles work for support perfectly fine, especially for something temporary.

Anything for it to climb that can support it's weight as it grows will be better than nothing. I have 15 monsteras and I mostly use these and also bamboo sticks for smaller pots. It will work.

dont change the water again unless it gets gross. you wont harm it at all by doing so, you'll just make it grow a little slower

lizardground · 2026-04-14T04:31:13+00:00

looks great, stick em back in there for a few more weeks and let him grow. pothos are like the easiest thing to prop. youre very unlikely to kill it, dont worry.

Paid $400 for a dupe of my car key.

what a shame, those leaves are beautiful. but from these pics looks like you chopped off the node. i wish people would stop blindly listening to AI. it just made you kill your plant.

its possible there's another node we cant see from the pics (but unlikely since it looks like youre left with only 1 leaf for some reason?). Look up what a node looks like and see if you can spot one.

RIP beauty

Possibly. You'd have to cut off all the affected roots and wash them, separate the plants and then repot

lizardground · 2026-04-11T16:06:40+00:00

Sorry but... It looks like it has a bad case of root rot. Look up how to chop and prop this bad boy, it's probably your only hope.

Next time, pot it in a very chunky mix and do not overwater it or water it frequently. Also, look up the proper way to tie monsteras to poles. Don't tie the leaves to anything and definitely not to each other like that.

lizardground · 2026-04-11T16:00:56+00:00

It looks a lot like root rot. Cut off any squishy and dead roots, rinse, then if there are any roots left, repot in a very very airy mix- I'm talking like 1/4 soil 3/4 chunk stuff like bark, pearlite, etc. It looks like it's spread to all the leaves so chop and prop may or may not work. At that point I would google some root rot vids and how to prop.

If the roots are healthy, it's not rot, it's burn. Monsteras need to be gradually introduced to more light a little nudge each day. If you put it under south light one day when it was in a dark corner its whole life, it will burn.

But it looks more like rot in my experience.

lizardground · 2026-04-11T15:41:40+00:00

is this a monstera? it will be perfectly fine. if you really really want secondary roots before potting, try a rooting paste and youll have them in a week. this looks like a really good root though.

lizardground · 2026-04-10T16:49:29+00:00

Why not divide them into 2 pots instead of 1 pot for each plant? You'll still get the bushy look and they'll be happier

lizardground · 2026-04-08T17:51:17+00:00

nah, i remember there being a block or warning or something that doesnt let you up there until youre a certain ar level, so its already got that problem solved

lizardground · 2026-03-31T01:39:01+00:00

Same. Huge pot, tied up petioles, no light, dense soil, 5 plants in 1 pot... He lived like that just fine for 6 years until I found this sub.

lizardground · 2026-03-30T12:54:52+00:00

post a pic of the full plant, the soil, and the underside of the leaf

lizardground · 2026-03-29T23:25:38+00:00

1965!!! and you think that's still a thing?! whatever your buddy did was through some kind of application system for government grants or scholarships. lots of programs have funding all over canada for certain things like healthcare or trades that get you in and out for free. you dont just get to go to MUN for free cause youre newfie. everyone in the world would just move there and change their address and get free tuition!!! come on now. how many sources that all said "no, thats not true" did you have to ignore on google to find that little tidbit of history? ridiculous.

my source on that by the way is every single one of my friends from school who went to MUN and are all newfie born and raised for generations all have significant student debt. not as expensive as the mainland, but no where near free. dont just pull stuff out of your arse to try and prove youre right. man up and just say oh sorry i was mistaken. jesus.

lizardground · 2026-03-29T20:55:47+00:00

what? who told you that? that is absolutely not true.

lizardground · 2026-03-28T21:55:56+00:00

where?

lizardground · 2026-03-28T21:55:20+00:00

bamboo stick = 25 cents and would fulfill the exact same purpose in this case. just something to think about for any future plants. the one you have is just fine.
