Rubber plant propagation?

Long story short, my rubber plant was not happy and lost a lot of leaves, now it’s much better but very top heavy, tall and leaning.

I think I need to propagate, cut the originally plant quite low to allow a “fresh start”, and try to grow new roots in the top to keep that as a plant.

I’ve heard they’re difficult plants to propagate… has anyone done it before or have any tips?

Should I make multiple cuttings in the top leafy part to give a better chance of success rather than just the one?

Thanks in advance 😊

How to get out of a plateau…

Hi all,

I’ve been looking to loose weight and properly tracking calories and my weight since May.

May 8th- June 17th I lost 3kg which I was happy at this rate. However, in the almost month since then I have not lost at all. I weigh myself at my gym, so that days and times differ but I do always before the workout, and I think the slight inconsistency means I don’t worry too much about exact numbers and can just look at the overall.

I am 5”3, currently sitting at 68.5kg. I go to the gym 3 times a week minimum, sometimes 4 and walk for 45 mins minimum on my days off, but I do work an office job so I’m sat all day. I’m eating 1,200-1,500 a day, averaging probably 1,300.

At the gym I stairmaster at level 7 for 30 mins pretty much every single time, if I’m feeling off I’ll do level 6 or 20 mins etc. I then do weighted exercises, two lower body days with one upper, about 45 mins of strength training.

Why have I stopped losing weight? I don’t eat enough protein (i’m working on this- vegetarian so slightly harder) to believe it’s due to muscle gain at the same rate I’m losing weight…

How to find reputable breeder

Hi!

I am starting to think about getting my first dog in the upcoming years, I recently moved out with my partner and we would love a dog, but our current flat is quite small and we will likely wait until we buy a house with a garden.

Anyway- we are quite set on a German Shepard, not 100% sure on working or show line yet but as first time owners (both had family dogs), we want the “predictability” of a breeder rather than rescue, especially for health testing due to the breed.

How is it best to find a reputable breeder (UK)? I’ve found one I liked the look of but a previous Reddit post has me doubting myself but struggling to find other breeders with a lot of info available.

Thanks in advance

Delaying period on Rigevidon

Hi all,

I’m due to start my period at the end of my holiday, so wanting to delay it by a couple of days, what’s the best/ safe method?

-continuously go onto the next pack and skip the break this month

-take two/ three pills from next months pack, have the break (period start after holiday), but then be two/ three pills short next month.

If I did the second, would that mean I would forever have to take a couple from the next months pack to be safe? or can i take less than the whole pack once and be okay?

Thanks :)
