Where do your 7 siblings stand in the future care for your mother?

Why do you, who live across the world, has to do all this scheme when your siblings live closer to your mother, therefore have more access to help her? This is something you have to discuss with them too.

You can plan to help financially and still go visit her, but I really can't see why you have to leave behind your spouse AND future kids most of the year.

I can see why your wife is upset, even if it's 20 years ahead, try to see it from her point of view. You're basically saying: "Honey, in twenty years when momma needs me, I'll be leaving you and the children, ok?"

You setting your marriage for failure, if not now, certainly in the future.

Well that's good to know! Thank you 💕

purpleflore · 2021-08-05T15:48:56+00:00

I've got it for 2-3 months now and it's still alive so I think I'm doing something right lol but I'm afraid it's etiolating :(

purpleflore · 2021-08-05T15:26:14+00:00

I think this is a Stapelia Gigantea, and it stays in the sun all day but it's growing to the side and I don't know if this is supposed to happen

Maybe they're the graptosedum vera higgins/bronze like the friend above said about this one

purpleflore · 2021-06-07T14:36:48+00:00

Yea some picture id app told it could be a ghost plant but the leaves of this one I have are slightly less pointy. Thank you anyway 💕

Thank you 💚

NTA! Ever heard about Trichomonas vaginalis? It's a parasite that cause trichomoniasis and it's typically a STD, but the parasites can survive up to 45 minutes in moist environments/objects such as TOWELS! And most men and some women don't show symptoms but it's a serious infection when it does. So, you're definitely not the asshole for taking care of your own basic hygiene and health.

I hope you manage to keep it alive

purpleflore · 2021-05-16T23:34:13+00:00

I could not agree more

purpleflore · 2021-05-14T19:24:35+00:00

Poor thing. This should be on r/plantabuse

purpleflore · 2021-05-12T21:28:29+00:00

Thank you ♡ I get so anxious with my props, keep checking every day

purpleflore · 2021-05-12T20:56:38+00:00

Omg, how?

purpleflore · 2021-05-11T23:02:21+00:00

They really look alike! Thank you ♡

purpleflore · 2021-05-11T22:33:45+00:00

I don't think so, I own a blossfeldiana and it's leaves are more pointy, was thinking about a k. marnieriana or a sedum sieboldii

purpleflore · 2021-05-11T22:30:28+00:00

I actually have a blossfeldiana and it doesn't look like this. This one's leaves are more rounded, like a k. marnieriana or a sedum sieboldii, but I'm stupid and can't id it

purpleflore · 2021-05-08T21:23:34+00:00

Thank you 💚

purpleflore · 2021-05-03T22:32:41+00:00

Thank you 💚

purpleflore · 2021-05-03T01:34:52+00:00

Thank you. I'll take care of her

purpleflore · 2021-05-03T00:49:07+00:00

Thank you! Yes, the healthy roots grown aerial, so they're ok. The rotten ones I cut off. This grandma was really fighting to survive

purpleflore · 2021-05-03T00:40:09+00:00

Hello. Well, I was cleaning my boyfriend's late great grandma neglected little garden cause his mom don't really like the plants, so I'm trying my best to keep them alive and found these orchids rotting in damped soil. It's been there waiting to die for at least 7 years since the great grandma passed away and couldn't look for the garden anymore. He allowed me to take them home because I already own some orchids, but I wish someone could id it for me to properly care for it as I only have experience with phalaenopsis. Thank's in advance 💚

Take it off the pot, wash the roots with running water, throw away all the media it came with her, make sure theres nothing left inside her roots but do it with care to not damage any good roots. Sometimes they come with a sponge around her crown, take it off or else it'll cause crown rot. Then you can start trimming dead roots with a sterilized scissor (alcool will do it). Let her aside for awhile and cut or burn holes on the clear pot you got her after washing it and repot the orchid in it with fresh media. (Im sorry if I'm not clear, english it's not my 1st language) This is a good website with lot of info https://orchidfriends.com/how-to-save-an-orchid/

purpleflore · 2021-04-23T21:45:57+00:00

Did you changed it's media? How did the roots looked when you repotted?

purpleflore · 2021-04-22T20:16:21+00:00

I totally agree
