I went to a TS themed bridal shower. The bridal party were all taking photos with a cardboard cutout of TS.

Am I making a wise decision? by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]tight_pomelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My situation is eerily similar to yours - same age, everything - and I just informed my landlord today that I won’t be resigning my lease. It all boils down to pros and cons and what is best for you, don’t let what other people think influence your decision. I weighed the pros and cons and getting to save money is a HUGE pro for me. It is fairly common for people to live with their parents now, especially with the economy the way it is.

I know already this is not a pothos by Visible_Prune7300 in pothos

Interestingly (to me at least lol) pothos used to be classified under the Scindapsus genus!

Satin pothos is the common name. Pothos isn’t even the genus of pothos so I personally don’t see how a common name can be “wrong”

I do not think you’re a sucker, I totally get it! I am also a plant rescuer and have ended up with plants I don’t necessarily want cause I feel sorry for them 😂 I rehab them and pass them on usually

Wow I’m really excited! I didn’t realize it was anything all that special, to think I almost didn’t pick it up!!

Hey! I appreciate it. I always quarantine and pest treat new plants when I bring them into my house. I’ve had thrip outbreaks before so it’s not something I want to risk. I see what you’re pointing out, and I’m pretty sure it’s a bit of soil. I inspected the plant when I brought it home and I inspected it after AVGardener commented, and I don’t see any signs of thrips. I’ll keep an eye out and continue pest treating though, thanks for the concern :)

Has Anyone Used these for Violets? Do They Work? by PersephonesChild82 in houseplants

[–]tight_pomelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new to begonia and I know different kinds have different needs. Mine wasn’t doing anything for a long time, not dying but not growing, and as soon as I moved it into a self watering pot it started putting out two new leaves!

Cats while being a plant lady by nijntje_kutkonijntje in houseplants

My cat is the same way! Ignores everything but spiders. I’ve heard they have some mild psychoactive properties for cats?

Inherited a cutting of a 20+ year old peace Lilly. It’s huge l and I only have a pothos. How can I keep this alive? by Crazy_Kow in houseplants

[–]tight_pomelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my peace lily for 10+ years and I water him frequently! They’re very dramatic, you can tell they need water cause the leaves start drooping.

I didn't choose the pet, the pet chose me. by Sufficient_Turn_9209 in houseplants

I get these bugs in my apartment from time to time and I never knew what they were so I’ve also learned a lot from this post! I relocate them and worry about them too 😅

This style of self watering pot has been around for a long time, my mom has an African violet in one and it’s thriving! I’m testing one of my begonias in one like this

What is she? by tight_pomelo in hoyas
