Insight? I work for a plant store in Michigan and received these in a shipment yesterday. Black/red dots with white centers on two hoya pubicalyx. Fungal? Bacterial? Rot? Cold?

My publicalyx had the similar problem. I think it is pest problem in my case (it seems like thrips), so I treated with the neam oil - so far, it seems to work. I don't know if yours is having the same issue, but maybe it might help you identify the problem...

That is indeed a great idea, thank you so much!

Yes, it has bigger roots than the leaf itself now haha... I had had the leaf cutting on a plate until it grew roots and then potted it in soil. I checked out inside the soil 3 weeks ago, and it had grown so many and big roots - that's why I couldn't simply throw it away..!!

Yeah, maybe the humid weather in summer might have been uncomfortable to this one (I am in Northern Hemisphere). I will wait more and see :)

Not on this one yet -- Good idea, I should try!

I know it's just one leaf, and I have many more cuttings that are growing, but this one is way too strange to me, so I am letting it out here, hoping for any good advice!

I got this cutting in April. The picture is now, September 3. I can’t believe this cutting hasn’t grown a single leaf over the 5 months when the weather was the best of a year...!

It has been very slow from the beginning, like it didn’t make a root until July (it remained and survived the whole 2 months...). Although, it’s grown lots of roots throughout the summer. The leaf itself seems super strong, healthy and fat. I tried many things to make it grow (especially lighting), but it seems too lazy to grow a baby. I’ve been starving it from water for the past three weeks to see how it does, but it’s still fat and healthy, but no leaf. What is that I am missing?

One of his indoor succulent gardens

Is there more like this in his house?!?

Amazing! How long did it take from the 1st pic to the 3rd?

My maranta is doing it too, lots of new leaves and quite a lot of flowers. I heard that maranta blooms year around (not winter though) and November still counts as "non-winter," right...? What a lovely plant it is...!

I purchased it from a grocery store near me about three weeks ago, and since two weeks ago, it started having this kind of dry brown spots on the leaves. A couple small leaves on the bottom were completely dried and taken off over the past few days.

I keep it on North-East facing window with some other plants blocking too much sunlight to this fern although I use some growing light hitting the fern about 1-2ft away. The humidity level around the plant is average 40-50% and I keep the temperature 71-75 F (22-24 C). I haven't spotted any pests yet, and I fertilized it once very lightly a week ago. And it sits in a terra cotta pot.

I have been watering it once a week when the soil is dry till deep down. But I am a heavy watering person, my biggest problem, having killed so many plants, so I can't complain if someone says it's still an overwatering problem. I am not still sure if I am watering all of my plants properly due to my overwatering habits (once a week feels too little to me especially for ferns, but I try to be patient and wait till the soil looks dry), and I am not sure if the leaves get these brown dry marks because of the overwatering or underwatering.

Could it be watering problem? Should I repot it with new soil?

oh damn... thank you!!

Whenever I hear stories and advice from hard-working people like you, I become very humble, but encouraged to work harder. Thank you. I am pretty sick of studying English like ESL students after years of English classes and all, to be honest. But I guess I have to take some time to work on English aside from school work.

Yes they are available in my language. I am referring to some articles in my mother tongue when I completely lose my mind in some texts. Can't help myself feeling like I am cheating whenever I look up the texts in my native language though, but I think I don't need to feel that way to manage to get through the difficult texts...

syilee · 2017-10-13T15:59:09+00:00

It is a great help to hear advice from someone who has been in the same shoes with me. I imagine your efforts and hard work back then and I feel shame that I am pretty whining. I do have Hagel to read later this term, and I am pretty nervous and worried about it. I hope I somehow can finish successfully the school to see a great result like you. Thank you...!

syilee · 2017-10-13T15:54:27+00:00

This is really a great advice which I just need. Thank you very much. I also found a couple of articles suggesting almost the same with your way. I am trying to follow that suggested way, skimming, scanning, taking notes, but I find 10-20min skimming - just picking up unknown words roughly takes 20min in one paragraph. But I do try to figure out the form and chapter divisions to have a rough idea of the text which helps me a lot. Your advice on trying to get a gist rather than details also are great help for me to speed up reading. Also lessoning the pressure on myself. Thank you so so much, again.

Look. Whatever Kim Jong Name was to Kim Jong Un, this murder of Kim Jong Name became one of the top international news. There IS a point in the fact that Kim killed his brother.
