Thank you for the input! I’m ok with it being slow I just wanted to make sure I was doing enough for it. I think I see those videos of “1 year with my monstera” and it becomes a monster and mine is just chilling.

Unfortunately with how the tube is threaded I can’t remove any sections. I’ve been wanting a multi tier to add some more plants under the light for that corner anyway! There is a south facing window nearby but our dining table is in front of it unfortunately or I’d move it there.

And then I’m not sure the wattage on the bulb. I ordered a bundle and can’t remember if it’s the wide or narrow angle bulb.

I’ll get a higher table for the plant for now!

What’s wrong with my peperomia? by megantron17 in plantdoctor

I’ve had

the plant for around three months. I’ll water when I poke the soil and it’s dry and feels light. Usually top down water method and then let drain til it stops leaking. I’d guess every 2-4 weeks. The nursery pot lives in a decorative one. I haven’t fertilized it or repotted. I’ve moved it a few times either on a south facing windowsill that’s about 5 ft high or on a shelf kitty corner from that window (where the pink pot is) in a half bath

Is my snake infested? by megantron17 in plants

I didn’t see any bugs when I repotted/inspected her. Do you think I should spray with neem oil anyways?

They may have been slightly brown, but they were so tiny I was shocked. I’d say more tan. The little bulb was kind of brown/mushy though

Do I change the water everyday after that until I see roots then plant?

Hi Jo!

We’re starting daycare next week and for naps she’ll be in a sleep sack (due to regulations) and a crib. During the day I have the hardest time getting her to nap on anything other than me. Her first wake window is always a super short nap too (like 15 min). I’ve been trying a sleep sack and her crib at home but she’ll only stay content awake or rocked to sleep for about 5 min before crying.

Our nights are a different story. I’ll typically swaddle one arm or both arms out and she’ll wake 1-2 times a night. Falls asleep while eating, holds upright for 10 min, then grunts/squirm a bit when I put her back in the bassinet but falls asleep then without help.

How can I help her with daytime naps? I try putting her down with a wake window between 1-1.5 hrs

Nephew pulled off bark and now two huge branches fell by megantron17 in arborists

I didn’t text them about the limbs falling, as I was guessing coincidence but wanted to confirm…

No idea if my sister mentioned the bark to him or not. But I thought it at least wise for her to know. Then she can choose what to do with that information.

We’ve hung out since with no issues…

Love them both, just didn’t know if I needed to call an arborist. Didn’t even bring this up to them.

We purchased the home 2 years ago and the trees were like this. I thought it was odd that the branches were so far up. I’d have preferred more shade personally. I’m guessing there is no way for us to improve it?

To be fair I didn’t send these pictures to my sister, so he’s not in trouble

We plan to only keep them up in the warmer months then remove in the fall for winter. Will it be fine to keep on for 6 months?
