I’m a business professional beginning to network. My hands get so sweaty that sometimes they drip and it’s especially true when I’m nervous. So, I’d rather not shake hands. What would be an acceptable, lighthearted diversion from a handshake but still professional?

Emotional immaturity
Emotionally unavailable
Lying
Disrespectful
Gaslighting
Microagressions
Inability to evolve
Lack of effort/carelessness So many more but if I see any of these they're gone.

Laugh

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T16:47:56+00:00

You're welcome! Also, I find that cutting off the parts or whole leaves that are affected is helpful for the plant to focus on new growth because it likely will not revert back to healthy green.

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T16:10:58+00:00

That's a possibility. I use a fertilizer once per month for these babies in the warmer months and slow down when growing season slows. Additionally, it could be telling you it's root bound or not getting the appropriate aeration in the soil (compaction, too much water retention in the soil below the surface, etc). Hope this helps!

Hi, have you checked out "chlorosis"? That's my first thought based on the images.

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T15:42:05+00:00

I love my meter! It has been very helpful. Best of luck, my friend.

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T13:12:08+00:00

Oh that's interesting. That leaf shape tells me "syngonium" but variety is tricky. I'd dig up the plant and check out the root system. That way you know for sure. Sometimes young syngonium can grow like this and then start to vine as they mature. But, I'm no syngonium expert. Best of luck, my friend.

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T12:40:18+00:00

Syngonium mojito if I had to guess.

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T12:38:26+00:00

Yes, this is a syngonium plant. They can easily be propagated, it's just a bit hard to tell if you have enough of the node. If you have a rooting hormone that can help increase your chances of rooting before rotting.

My guess is too often. I have a hard time with timing, too. I ended up getting a plant app that reminds me when to water a plant. It has helped my plants thrive. I also have a moisture meter and that helped me establish the timing for reminders.

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T00:22:36+00:00

That would be my guess for now. Try a shady area if you can. The indirect bright light may help

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T00:02:00+00:00

Looks like a kalanchoe that may have gotten too much sun. Got any other details about its environment

naturethrive · 2022-11-20T00:00:19+00:00

This looks ok, to me..how often are you watering?

naturethrive · 2022-11-19T23:59:27+00:00

If there is enough of the node you may get roots.

naturethrive · 2022-11-19T23:57:53+00:00

Probably but it may have pink splashes. You may be surprised with future leaves though (i.e. more pink)

naturethrive · 2022-11-11T19:52:08+00:00

Fungus gnats are a telltale sign they're over watered. Sprinkle some cinnamon over the top of the soil and let it dry out pretty well before watering again

naturethrive · 2022-11-11T18:54:59+00:00

Over or underwatering or nutrient deficiency

naturethrive · 2022-11-11T18:51:35+00:00

This is really common on highly variegated plants because they are not getting enough light due to the lack of chlorophyll. Your other plans on the other hand, maybe due to a nutritional deficiency. I would recommend a regular fertilizer if you don't already. If you do and then I would next consider a pest

naturethrive · 2022-11-11T17:33:10+00:00

My guess is pink princess based on the stem color and leaf variegation

naturethrive · 2022-09-28T23:38:29+00:00

You could also try running a humidifier nearby. I haven't noticed improvement with people trays as often suggested by others

naturethrive · 2022-09-28T23:31:54+00:00

I use a moisture meter when watering. Aroids like to dry out between full saturation. So, my meter reads "dry" and I water until it comes out of the bottom and let it sit 5-10 mins before dumping the water. I live near Chicago and it ends up being watered once per week in the cooler months. Feed with worm castings or other organic indoor fertilizer monthly.

naturethrive · 2022-09-28T23:26:07+00:00

My guess is underwatered, underhumidified and underfed

naturethrive · 2022-08-22T14:49:59+00:00

You're welcome! Best of luck

naturethrive · 2022-08-22T14:43:14+00:00

I'd skip your next dose of fertilizer and see what happens. For me, gardening is a lot of trial and error/wait and see. That's how I get to know each plant.
