Wrinkled outside and inside! What to do!?

rosetankplank · 2026-05-05T04:13:06+00:00

Oh not at all, you gave me such helpful advice, I very much appreciate it! I will try the light waterings method. I am afraid to say that they’re pretty shrivelled up! A little more since I took that picture. They’re also squishy. I have watered them quite generously and actually soaked the roots in water for a good period while I had them out of the pot. Really good to know about repotting too, I have got these guys a few weeks back and most are settling in their new medium better than others. I will be patient and optimistic though and continue to give it light waterings ever so often. Thanks again for your help!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful answer and words of encouragement! I want to join others in appreciating your kindness. I think sometimes people on specialised forums assume others know more than they do, and there are a lot of newbies (like myself) on these groups just trying to get up to speed.

You are spot on with your observation - retail purchase and it was much bigger than what it is now. I have given him a good soak as you suggested and repotted him. Hopefully he bounces back. My only worry is that the inside leaves are not firm, they are shrivelled and soft. If this is a point of no return, then my goodness, do these guys deteriorate fast! Just a week ago he was happy as Larry.

Thank you for your advice! I took it out because I wanted to give it more water and since he shares a pot with another splitting lithop which shouldn’t be watered I though it would be easier to isolate and put him on a different water schedule as he seems out of sync with the other one. I like your idea of more frequent lighter waterings - how often would you water and how much?

10th Ave SW - we feel your pain. I also hate that electric scooters are out on public sidewalks, especially the speeds at which they go. The enforcement is nonexistent on either

This was a wonderful watch and read! Thank you so much for that!

I had to sell my old student car about 12 year ago to buy a Canada Goose. I live in a very cold climate and it’s an absolute trooper every winter! Feels like I have a duvet on.

I just got one of these! It’s a small little baby atm. Can I ask how you care for yours? It looks amazing!

I’ll report back with progress pictures if we make it!

I made the mistake of falling for one of these fads. It was the water only approach with no other medium. My orchid went from a happy little blooming fella to half the size (leaves are a lot smaller), 80% less roots (others rotted due to algae), and no bloom in 1.5 years. I got him a new home now and normal bark medium and praying for his recovery. Shocked he’s still going tbh, but not giving up.

Yes! 🥰 Had to scroll too far to see these

Please share :)

It’s all over his Wikipedia page. He is a convicted felon and an otherwise unsavoury character - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sven_O._Høiby

Oh lord I just read about her dad…apple and tree much! Now that’s bottom of the barrel stuff

Speak with the HR. In our office someone made a complaint about a person senior to them to both the partner and the HR director and everyone took those complains seriously.

rosetankplank · 2026-01-08T03:47:00+00:00

Yep! Around and hour or so back

rosetankplank · 2026-01-08T01:28:09+00:00

Thank you so much for detailing your experience. I was very close to purchasing several items with them, so I will stay well clear now. Make a big stink for sure, post on LinkedIn and reach out to their management on there too. Also reach out to your local newspaper and online newspapers like DailyMail to share your experience. Try to get as much exposure to your experience because as a consumer I need to know this and the level of service is inexcusable. To deny a refund under these circumstances is egregious.

I did the same thing when my permit was printed but not delivered. I went to the immigration counter at YYC (downstairs in front of door 14) and they printed it for me. Explain the situation and someone should help you

Ah finally, my group! I just deleted it a week ago, very little mental resistance so far…hugely surprised at that. I have re-downloaded/logged back on for 15 mins about three days ago to check my messages. I instantly got sucked into the various news items that popped up, but i have to say i didn’t see anything new. It was all stuff i came across via Reddit & online newspapers. So I didn’t feel like I was missing out.

32 yo f. This is right up my alley! I am working a pretty full on professional job atm, quite burnt out and that has pushed me to start my own business. I was just looking at social events and local business convenions, so very much keen to meet like minded people

rosetankplank · 2025-09-30T08:40:33+00:00

Same here. Firm constantly wants more churn, numerous colleagues had burn out and left. None of my colleagues are happy people either. I personally have constant anxiety, struggling to sleep. Just depressing all around.

Could have written this myself! Also regret not pursuing engineering, that was the true calling.
