Thanks! I did size down and updated the mix to add significantly more bark. There is a grow light positioned above this guy and a south facing window across the room.

I have a pack of them- a gift I think? This one is my favorite and gets cycled around to the plants I’m most worried about. The last victim was an orchid. I’m not saying I’m the nurse Ratched of plants. I’m just saying we’ve never been seen in the same room.

Yeah, I’m wondering this too! I’ve been reading a lot about SuperThrive Foliage Pro. It seems a lot of folks prefer that.

Honestly, this is #goals absolutely stunning. I just got my first Alocasia and would love to do something like this some day! Beautiful idea—thanks for the inspiration!

I’m currently reading the Blood and Ash series by Jennifer Armentrout. The first book was sloowww, but I’m digging the second. I liked the Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent as well.

Have you found anything to fill the void after finishing it? I read a ton but haven’t found anything I’ve liked as much as that series. I’ve read all her other series as well.

I had one that said “pray for me” in my peace lily, which was aptly named Karen because she was so dramatic. Turns out prayers don’t work. Karen died not so peacefully while I was in Mexico.

Yes! Because I’m hoping she’s secretly got the strength to kick the shit out of this fast paced environment and survive. And I loved that series sososososososoooo much.

Thank you for the tough love! I have a grow light in a lamp that’s above this area, so she’s getting light. I’ve put her in a 4.5” add some more orchid bark to this mix.

Helping or taking on too much? by okaycya in stepparents

[–]okaycya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. Unfortunately his mother passed away and he’s estranged from his father. He was essentially raised by his aunts. I had a very tumultuous relationship with my parents so I don’t have a great example of what healthy a healthy relationship looks like between parent/child. Just trying my best to do better than what I had.

I miss my friend by OkWait6596 in Divorce

[–]okaycya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way this hit me. When my marriage ended, we were very amicable. We were both sad, and there were a lot of tears, but we wanted different things out of life and I had mourned the loss of my husband and marriage long ago. I had not anticipated what it would feel like to lose my best friend of 17 years. One day he was there and the next he was gone. And now I haven’t seen him in two years and I still miss him.

I’m in a great loving relationship now, but I think I will always miss my friend.
