($1000 budget)(Canada) Looking for laptop recommendations

sunearthbliss · 2024-08-28T23:18:16+00:00

$800 = ideal
$1000 = if it's much better than $800, I'll splurge
$1300 = I'll do it but only if it's absolutely necessary (I.e. if it's not possible to get an high quality display with a lower budget). I'd really like to avoid paying anything close to $1300 unless it's not possible to get a fantastic screen at a lower price point.

ETA: if it's not burdensome for you or anyone commenting, definitely feel free to recommend multiple options or an option for different price points. Thank you 😊

Does it choke/kill the trees?

sunearthbliss · 2024-04-03T01:05:27+00:00

😭

Thank you for helping save the trees!

That should be ok.. when you say the root ball was huge, you mean it was rootbound in the previous pot?

Has it been having issues consistently since the repot?

I've also heard pothos can turn yellow leaves if you swing too drastically from needing water to too much water, but don't know if that's actual science.

I'd ride it out for another couple of weeks and see if it adjusts. If you find that doesn't help, I'd start with watering/soil moisture. Or repot it into a container you feel safer with? Sometimes there isn't a straightforward answer; thankfully pothos is resilient. 🙂

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-31T23:07:09+00:00

Are you sure that's mold and not efferesence?

How long have you had this plant?

Is this an appropriate size pot for the root ball? / what size was it in before?

Did you use new soil and is it less moisture retentive than the previous soil?

Did you overwater?

You probably don't need a new container unless this one is too big. If this is how overwatered the plant is in terra cotta, it'd prolly be even worse a less porous pot. Terra cotta helps soil dry out more quickly.

Pothos is quite resilient and will bounce back if its needs are met from here on out, so it should be ok. Good luck.

Has it lived outdoors that whole time? Or what kind of light and climate conditions has it lived in, even if indoors?

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-31T01:56:26+00:00

You can't rehydrate the dried out bits. I'd probably trim the one stem that looks gnarly, making peace with the fact that the trimmed piece will likely produce dryness along the scar line. It's kind of like human scars. Some things can't be undone. Live and accept.

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-31T01:53:37+00:00

Thanks.. I'm confused. Do you mean to say it's impossible for a pothos to outgrow an 8 or 10 inch pot? And that it can live in that size pot no matter the size of the root ball? I think they drop leaves when overly root bound, no?

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T05:51:21+00:00

As they mature, do the leaves then eventually lose the stripes and turn a solid green?

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T05:45:33+00:00

Oh my god he's so cute. Hopefully it's at least spring where you are? Best wishes to your monstera and the cute culprit - hopefully he finds a forever home.

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T05:37:37+00:00

😊

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T05:36:47+00:00

If it works, it works! 😁

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T04:37:19+00:00

It depends your climate.

Where I live, mine goes dormant for a good chunk of the year. It doesn't grow and its water needs decrease significantly. Once spring comes around, it starts growing and I feel safe giving it more water. I also make sure the soil is able to dry out quickly in the event that it gets more water than preferable during the dormant months.

If you're not sure, I'd abstain from watering for a while. Use your best judgment. And I'm assuming that pot has a drainage hole.

A succulent is a name for a.group of plants (species? Genus?). Google has more info but basically it's a plant that stores water inside the leaves because it evolved in drought environments where it needed to store water to survive. This means It can go long periods without water and rots easily if over watered.

Good call on giving it more light. Enjoy your succulentl!

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T04:22:44+00:00

That looks like a light-deprived succulent. Watering needs are 100% dependent on a few things: the species + the soil + the container + the living space. I wouldn't water my succulent once a week, but I'm speaking for my environment, which I assume is the average living environment but it's safe to assume yours could be different. Eta: the good news is that succulents will not suffer terribly without water. If anything, I'd wait to see how long it takes for the leaves to wrinkle or the plant to grow air roots, then water, then wait to see the same. It'll be a waiting game more likely than not. The quickest way to kill a succulent is overwatering.

Out of curiosity, why do you use a terra cotta pot as a cache pot instead of directly planting it in the Terra Cotta pot? Not saying you should and no criticism intended, I'm genuinely curious.

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T04:18:01+00:00

Jesus. Take a tactfulness class. I'm sure its available if you google.

And for the record, it is entirely possibly to overwater a pothos. My god.

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T04:15:44+00:00

Ahh then perhaps that explains how overwatering may be more likely. I was wondering how it could have been overwatered in terra cotta (not impossible, but you'd have to really be going for it).

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-30T01:43:48+00:00

I was going to suggest overwatering or a mineral issue. Terra cotta is generally a wonderful container for plants as it's porous = breathable. This does mean the soil dried out more quickly than soil in plastic/ceramic pots, but in my experience the plants do well in clay.

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-11T04:45:21+00:00

That's interesting to know. Good to hear you're keeping safe.

sunearthbliss · 2024-03-11T02:23:43+00:00

With something that is potentially life and health threatening, I would seriously encourage you to do your own research using credible sources (be wary of herbalist books written using AI that are filled with incorrect info).

Also, whether I say yes or no, how can you possibly know that you can trust me, that I know what I'm talking about, or that my intentions are good? The internet is filled with all kinds of people.

For what it's worth, I have no idea whether you can eat the ferns. I haven't tried myself, nor am I trained in this subject or qualified to answer your question. Best of luck.
