I bought this neon pothos at Lowe’s in the clearance section. I usually try to get some and see if I can rehabilitate them. I noticed this different growth under the leaves. It’s in basically all of them, even the new ones. Does anyone know what it is?
Some of my pothos new leaves are coming out this way. Is there anything wrong with it? It’s by an east facing door. I’m dealing with gnats but not sure if it would be enough to damage the plant.
I already repotted the little succulent as you can see in the last picture. No clue how to take care or what I should do for the other ones
Hi everyone. I’ve posted here a couple times asking about basic care for my plants. I’m new to it and I really want my plants to thrive.
Whenever i decide to take over their care, I repotted them and used the MG yellow bag soil (for recommendations of a HD employee). It looks like it takes forever to drain, I’ve been watering my plants every 10-15 days depending on how moist the soil is. I just repotted them probably 6 weeks ago.
Reading about the MG issues and causing root rot I’m worried I will kill my plants.
I have a few pothos, N-joy, Swiss cheese monstera, Chinese evergreen, peace lily, pink fitonia, dragon tree and a money tree.
They look fine right now. Should i change their soil for a better draining one before they start to suffer? Which one would you recommend? When do you think I should do it?
I appreciate all the advices!
I bought this online, supposedly for punch needle. Obviously it didn’t work because the fabric is not adequate. I really don’t want to waste it though. Could i use the yarn and a thicker needle and cross stitch it? If not, does anyone have any recommendations? It came with all the yarn so i just didn’t want to waste it.
TIA
Hi, it’s me again, an anxious new plant parent. To think that I have been keeping my 2 kids alive and somehow so terrified to kill these plants it’s unreal lol
Anyways, i have most of my plants above the fireplace. There are two skylights on the sides and a sliding door (it faces east).
Should I switch these bulbs out for a light growing bulb?
The plants are, from left to right: 1 pothos, Chinese evergreen, pothos, dragon tree and pink fittonia
I appreciate all the advice
I don’t really know if I’m looking for advice, a reality check, or just outside perspectives.
My husband and I have been together for 7 years and have two young kids (3 years old and 20 months). We live near his parents, which is a huge help because they’ll often take the kids for a few hours when I need to get something done or when I’m working.
For context, I work part-time as a nurse, about 24 hours a week. Right now I work three evening shifts a week from 3pm-11pm. Before that I was doing weekend night shifts, but after almost a year of that I was exhausted and couldn’t function on the lack of sleep anymore. My husband works from home Monday-Friday, roughly 8-5. He handles all of our finances, investments, bills, taxes, etc. He’s also a very involved dad. He helps in the mornings, gives the kids baths, usually puts our toddler to bed while I put the baby down, and when I’m at work he’s obviously handling both kids by himself.
The thing is, I feel like almost everything else falls on me. I’m the default parent. I’m home with the kids during the day. I do the grocery shopping, meal planning, cooking, laundry, cleaning, scheduling appointments, keeping track of preschool stuff, arranging playdates and activities, buying gifts, keeping up with what the kids need, taking care of the dog, car maintenance appointments, basically all the household management tasks. I know he works full-time and I know he contributes. He does the house maintenance as well, cuts the grass, etc. This isn’t a post about a husband who sits around playing video games while I do everything. That’s not the situation.
But I constantly feel overwhelmed and like I’m drowning in responsibilities. If someone has a question about the kids routine m, even if I’m at work, i get the text message. If my husband is having trouble getting the kids to sleep or anyone is sick and need something and I’m working, he will text me or call me as well. Sometimes I wonder if this is just what life looks like with two little kids and a house, or if the division of labor is actually uneven and I’ve just gotten used to carrying the mental load.
This is my first serious relationship and marriage, so I honestly don’t have much to compare it to.
For those of you in dual-income households with young kids, does this sound pretty normal? Or would you also be feeling overwhelmed in this situation?
