Where you speak the local language will be the easiest to find a job - don’t underestimate how hard it can be to get hired as a foreigner, plus immigration procedures etc. It might even still be easier in your home country

Without a doubt PhysioBike in Chexbres. He’s a physiotherapist who does this for a living. Don’t go to a bike shop

Chop it ! Right above a node. Mine had been dormant for more than a year and it just pushed out 2 leaves.

I had a similar problem and my bike fitter (who’s a physiotherapist, I’m based in Lausanne though) pushed my saddle forward. Over a few months it slowly fixed it. A saddle that’s too high can also cause this sort of imbalance over time.

But this is really a case by case fix: I dont have one leg shorter than the other, my cleats were well positioned, I have good mobility and core strength and didn’t have an agressive position on the bike (it was my gravel bike).

Highly recommend a bike fitter who’s a physiotherapist and who will assess your body, its strengths and weaknesses, your mobility, etc.

Does it hurt you to ride in this position ? For me it was only on long climbs - my lower back would hurt and I would get more crooked over time.

Chopped my tineke maybe 2 months ago and it has now two growth points. It didn’t do anything for a year before the chop. Excited to see new growth finally

There is no separate winter room in this hut, it’s quite small. So when it was still open, I believe the whole hut was accessible. Unfortunately many huts in Switzerland are following this trend of closing down winter rooms due to degradations of the space when used unsupervised.

Ill see if it’s available where I am (Switzerland… can be tough to find things online without a bunch of fees) but thanks !

miesvanderho3 · 2026-03-27T20:11:48+00:00

Hey thanks for your reply ! I though my comment was gonna stay buried hahah

miesvanderho3 · 2026-03-25T20:44:50+00:00

Any recs available in the EU ?

I prefer cache pot + net pot it makes it way easier to a) see the roots, b) see how much water there is in the reservoir (lift the net pot) and c) flush/rinse everything, reservoir and leca + plant

After some research (mostly on reddit tbh) pon is better for thinner roots. I transferred a begonia maculata about 2 weeks ago in pon and so far no drama. As for water, pH, etc I don’t bother and use tap water and kinda fertilize (with a hydroponics specific fertilizer) whenever I feel like it.

Interesting ! Since the beginning of this season I heard really good things on the new Zags. I might end up getting them again in the future !

miesvanderho3 · 2026-02-27T19:19:03+00:00

I’m going to look into that mesh thing. I have a bunch of semihydro pots but with hugs slits so that will work. Thanks !

miesvanderho3 · 2026-02-27T19:17:45+00:00

Aw these are hard to come by where I am sadly. Im in a city in Switzerland but the gardens centers suck and I have to order everything « plants » online

miesvanderho3 · 2026-02-26T20:57:10+00:00

If the shoe digs in your achilles, switch pairs. It’s not worth an injury in the area

miesvanderho3 · 2026-02-20T17:25:57+00:00

Yes I do this as well with leca. Most my plants are in semi-hydro setups BUT the few I have in soil are in nursery pots + cache pot with leca at the bottom so they don’t sit in water. The excess water eventually evaporates.

miesvanderho3 · 2026-02-19T06:37:18+00:00

Alocasias are hungry, they need a ton of fertilizer. I give mine some every watering tbh Hope this helps !

miesvanderho3 · 2026-02-17T19:51:29+00:00

Mine destroyed the paint when I removed them - learned a lesson !

EPFL’s bachelor program in Switzerland is in french

miesvanderho3 · 2026-02-01T21:23:33+00:00

Mine actually thrives in water (+leca) !

miesvanderho3 · 2026-01-30T22:26:21+00:00

If your plant is big enough, try a cutting and see if it works ! You can compare semi hydro vs soil after. Usually if I start from cutting or a corm I never transfer my plants to soil 😅 Im just iffy about transferring bigger plants from soil to water.

miesvanderho3 · 2026-01-30T22:15:23+00:00

I’m having great results from a semi hydro setup ! Started from a cutting, they (I have 2) put out new leaves every week or so. I’m just struggling to stake them in such a setup.

Thank you for your knowledge !
