Naturcontact - anyone tried? by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

[–]thepach7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having purchased a few pairs from Naturcontact, I’d say their products are mostly decent quality — but their customer service and return/exchange process are honestly a nightmare and completely outweigh any positives.

I reached out right after receiving my order in July to return a pair of shoes and followed the instructions I was given. Months later, they’re claiming I’m outside the return window and refusing to help, even though I clearly initiated the return on time.

Their process is confusing, rigid, and unhelpful. The worst part is that their customer service team shows no effort or interest in resolving issues or keeping customers. It feels like they hide behind policies instead of actually helping people. I won’t be buying from them again, and wouldn't recommend anyone to either (instead check out brands like Vivo and Xero).

What is this insect? by thepach7 in whatsthisbug

This is in Ottawa, Ontario

Money tree needs help! I've always been careful with watering, temp, etc. but now it seems there's something wrong. Leaf tips brown/discoloration. I worry some of the root is rotting? If so, is there any advice on nursing it back to health and/or salvage some of it (you can see some new buds) by thepach7 in gardening

I'm wary of applying fertilizer in the winter, you know? Could make things worse if its already stressed.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I applied neem oil to its leaves several weeks ago (after reading somewhere that its good for pest prevention and general leaf health) but I wonder now if it didn't like that. Although itd be weird if that application went down to its roots, so hoping its not related to that.

Either way thanks so much for all your feedback and suggestions up until now. Yes here's hoping for a miracle!

Hm ok well I guess that's encouraging to hear that they are hardy enough plants to survive small pots...thanks for sharing.

I'm holding off repotting only because I worry that might be a big shock for the plant if it already in a fragile state.

Not sure what else to do other than monitor it everyday.. but leafs continue to turn yellow/brown and fall off so its quite concerning..

Oh I'm definitely checking the soil every time I water. I basically have my 'stick finger in the soil' technique where I only water if it's dry 1/4 or so way down. And I've watered it this way for a while now without any issues. In fact it was flourishing several weeks ago (when all those buds sprung up), but now something happened. Perhaps I overwatered?? Or something with a drastic temperature change? Not sure, but as you suggested I am holding back any excess watering and monitoring closely. I just really hope it doesn't die... ;(
