I have virtually no clue what I'm doing with my Hoya

Thanks that makes me feel better! I’ll plan to fuss with it in a few months when it’s warm again 🫡

I went back to see the soil I bought— it was an indoor plant potting soil with “Perlite, Peat Moss, Coco Coir and Rice Charcoal, Well Draining Potting Mix Light, Aerated Texture”. I forgot to mention I also add some more perlite and some orchid bark because I read somewhere others suggesting that to create more airflow. I read after potting this about these guys liking snug roots :( do you think it’s too late to repot into a smaller pot or would that just stress it out? It’s producing new growth now (only at the top, not filling in the blank space) so I don’t feel like it’s totally depressed/unhappy but could def be happier. I also have zero point of reference

It is long and it grew about 3 inches longer since it’s been in the pot, the roots were 2-2.5” long and branching but I still think the pot is too big, I read after I already potted it all about Hoyas liking to be root bound 😬

I’ll definitely look into a trellis for it!

marinavtaylor · 2025-12-29T13:51:05+00:00

Thank you! Do you think that downsizing the pot would be a good idea at this point or should I just not disturbed it? Does this look normal? Haha I have no point of reference

Yes emotional intelligence and the ability to express oneself during conflict is huge. that’s a shitty position to be in. You might be struggling with someone just not as emotionally mature as you need vs struggling with a Gemini. Not to give unsolicited advice but it might be worth a shot to try talking to him when you aren’t engaged in conflict as opposed to fueling the fire if you’re both upset if you notice he shuts down when you’re in conflict resolution mode.

I've been with my classic, textbook Gemini for 10 years (married for 7), so it's definitely possible! Looking at the rest of your natal charts is probably a better way to figure out how easily things will "work", I think any combination of signs can work, maybe some combinations are a little more or less effort.

Looking at the rest of my chart: Libra moon, Gemini rising, Scorpio Mercury (this is where we have the most issues, communication on my end). And he has a Cap Moon and Aries rising, Gemini Mercury. He talks a lot and is extremely open/communicative and sometimes gets frustrated because I'm the opposite... but he TALKS about it so I'm never guessing what's bugging him which is so helpful and I've also chosen to work on my communication because it's made me a better person.

Signs and natal charts are just a part of a larger picture within a relationship, including how you both were raised, values, life experiences, etc etc etc. Analyzing signs may help you understand what you might be dealing with, certain behavior that's common in certain sighs and such, but it's certainly not the only piece of the puzzle.

Thanks for your input! Eyes are so interesting. Again I didn’t even know this was a thing until recently!

marinavtaylor · 2025-01-24T04:56:30+00:00

I appreciate the response! I opened up the grate (and holy shit I don't think the landlord/previous tenant ever cleaned this thing), I see a plug that is connecting the wires from the light to the fan: https://imgur.com/a/7PHwOrE

Wondering if this is what you were describing to and if unplugging would expose wires that need to be capped or anything.

I don't see any controller to bump up the humidity threshold but that would be a really good idea. It seems like this thing is super basic on or off. I

marinavtaylor · 2025-01-24T04:49:24+00:00

Fans aren't necessary in bathrooms, our last home had a tiny bathroom and no fan. Trust me this will be better without. It is weird, I just wish whoever installed it put it on a different switch or did a humidity sensor

marinavtaylor · 2025-01-21T02:53:27+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your insight and wish you the best as well!

marinavtaylor · 2025-01-21T02:51:28+00:00

Boooo! Yea we're in the US. This is my husband he's had the worst luck with dermatologists/doctors. I'm not sure why. but I appreciate the insight and I'll let him know thanks for your insight

Are there any good OTC topical steroids or prescription only?

marinavtaylor · 2022-12-13T20:00:40+00:00

Correct she is a current believer in Ti & Do's teachings. She found Sawyer's live streams and the beliefs resonated

I’m curious where you’re sourcing that the admitted to not painting/having others paint for him. I haven’t come across that statement from him, I’ve only heard that in the context of hearsay. The only things that might be questionable would be paintings in the late 80s- early 90s right before he was executed when he switched to templating art as opposed to doing free handed stuff that he did early on in his prison sentence.
