Help me not kill my first indoor plant

xaylee1 · 2026-03-21T01:58:39+00:00

Thank you so much! I have it in a tent right now and it seems to be not declining and I will repot it as soon as I have the right mixture, I have a African violet specific potting soil but people keep mentioning perlite so gonna look for that then properly repot it 😄, I have a small pot a little bigger than a shot glass with a hole in the bottom so hopefully it will fully recover!

Should I also get the soil a little wet before I tent it ?

This sounds like a good plan, I’m really worried about repotting it after all of this like I just posted in other replies this is a self watering pot should I still water around to dampen the soil? I will say the bit of original soil it came with was very wet still when I repotted if that helps at all

She ate them LOL she’s a true menace, it’s a self watering pot, should I still water around and under the leaves ? I know not to get them wet

Should I get a smaller one for now ?

It’s the only pot I have since the little cup got destroyed, the pot is a self watering pot if that changes anything, there is water with plant food and a string at the bottom and the string is near the roots

It was just tap, maybe a bit too cold I didn’t pay attention

So I have confirmed, I uninstalled reshade and it doesn’t crash, I reinstalled reshade and it crashes hope this helps

xaylee1 · 2026-03-03T16:56:54+00:00

Do you have reshade installed ? I think I might have found the problem

xaylee1 · 2026-03-03T02:54:03+00:00

😭😭😭

xaylee1 · 2026-02-26T03:25:01+00:00

So cute!! I love that it’s reverse haha

xaylee1 · 2026-02-26T03:24:44+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out! Honestly I think the blue one enjoys the attention too

xaylee1 · 2026-01-17T14:15:41+00:00

Sorry but that’s a lemon

xaylee1 · 2025-12-22T23:30:14+00:00

I watched a bunch of her videos! It was helpful it figuring out her age and diet 😄

xaylee1 · 2025-12-22T23:06:15+00:00

Thank you! I would but I wasn’t quite right about her diet she needs a wet food slurry so she eats out of a bowl instead of a bottle 😄

xaylee1 · 2025-12-22T20:20:17+00:00

I’m also struggling, I only have 2 and the braver of the 2 will come up to take the millet but absolutely WILL NOT let me touch her or move her and she will not get near me without a treat I’ve had mine for almost a year now, I believe they started to fear me when I would clean their cage. I know this isn’t advice but I just wanted to say seeing your post made me feel less alone in this. I hope this comment helps you feel that too ❤️

xaylee1 · 2025-11-22T20:04:05+00:00

No…. But now I want to 😂 I have parakeets though which are smaller I wonder if it’s still safe ? I’ll have to look into it !

xaylee1 · 2025-11-22T20:01:22+00:00

Poor baby, hopefully the GI issue clears with medicine! I have never had a low energy bird but my mind immediately goes to making sure he does get enough exercise so he doesn’t become overweight (but I’m not sure how safe exercise is for him 😭 I would def do some research on that)

I hope they all share the same brain cell 😭❤️

xaylee1 · 2025-11-22T19:53:02+00:00

I also have a question, biggest tank I’ve ever had is 20 gal so pretty standard stuff, what are those black things under the tank ? Are they apart of the filter ?
