And if it is should I keep the soil moist rather than let it dry out for like the first 7-14 days (I know that obtusifolia likes to dry out between waterings but I feel like it would be different with a freshly potted water prop).
Previous post regarding this cutting.
I've got this scindapsus water prop and I feel like it's time to pot it. As you can see it has multiple roots across several nodes. I'm tempted to cut off the lower bit as the rooted part is too tall to fit into a small pot, would that hurt the plant?
I can't figure out whether it's a fungal infection, temperature shock, overwatering or thrips (although I don't see any moving bits and I had soaked the plant in potassium soap + neem oil and changed the soil twice already).
It does get plenty of light from a south west facing window and recently put into a well draining coco coir perlite orchid bark mix and only water when the top half of the soil feels dry.
Din motive personale mi-a luat mult mai mult sa termin facultatea (ASE - Cibernetica Economica) inghetand ani si astfel avand doar cateva luni de experienta profesionala (in perioada 2023-2024) chit ca sunt late 20s.
Problema este ca domeniul pe care se duceau cei mai multi absolventi ai acestui profil (BI/analiza de date) este la pamant (cel putin la nivel de junior), fiind unul dintre cele mai afectate domenii de catre AI si outsourcing.
Am aplicat la orice tip de job in domeniul financiar contabil de la inceputul anului, adunand sute de aplicari. Am participat la multiple procese de angajare pentru pozitii de internship, trecand de probele logice insa nefiind selectat dupa interviul final. Suspectez faptul ca sunt late 20s si am foarte putina experienta pe piata muncii ca fiind motivul principal, probabil angajatorul preferand pe cineva de 21 ani care este proaspat absolvent/ultimul an (ce pot sa spun, nu toti avem traiectoria asta "liniara", uneori viata te loveste in tot felul de moduri).
Nu sunt sigur ce-ar trebui sa fac in situatia asta. Nu gasesc nimic care sa aiba tangenta cu ce m-am pregatit la facultate insa nici ca necalificat nu ma ia nimeni pentru ca am facultate (chiar una "buna", dupa cum ar spune unii). Presupun ca as putea sa scot facultatea din cv sau chiar sa ma recalific insa tot ramane problema ca sunt "batran" si n-am vreun istoric real in spate. Practic din perspectiva pietei muncii eu nu sunt bun nici sa aranjez marfa in raft, ca nimeni n-ar trebui sa ma angajeze vreodata si eventual sa ajung pe strazi dupa ce mor ai mei sau cum?
Bought this obtusifolia from Ikea and I (bottom) watered it a few days ago. I wouldn't want to disrupt its roots if it's not necessary but afaik the potting soil most houseplants come in ain't really good for regular home light/ambiance but nurseries and greenhouses.
Indiferent daca le cumparati de la Ikea, Dedeman, buticuri, florarii etc. Din ce am observat si din experienta proprie pamantul in care vin plantele este deseori prea dens si retine prea multa apa (ceea ce merge in crescatorii/sere dar nu si in apartament) pe langa ca am avut si surpriza sa gasesc tot felul de custi din plastic sau spuma la baza radacinilor.
Peperomia Obtusifolia
They were lying on the shelves at Ikea and I thought why not.
Hopefully it will root in water
Just managed to fetch these cuttings from an abandoned plant at work. I think it's a hoya pubicalyx. The stems seem dried out and at awkward angles tho.
These are different cuttings. I feel like the roots are long enough.
Is it because it's pressing too hard against the edge of the pot? (it stays a few feet away from a south facing window so it cannot be a lighting issue). Watered a few days ago.
Am fost peste tot (Ikea, Dedeman, Leroy Merlin, etc.) si nu gasesc ghivece functionale pentru plante cu interior (din alea mici de plastic ce au multe gauri la fund, cum sunt cele in care vin plantele de apartament), doar decorative sau din alea mari de gradina cu farfurie.
Sugestii?
Just bought a Peperomia Rana Verde. The plant seems nice but it has some dark spots esp underside of the leaves. Is this a pest infestation? There doesn't seem be be any webs or moving bits when I touch the soil. Is it sunburn? Is it because the plant is rootbound (check the last pic)?
Another problem seem to be that some of the leaves are missing parts (like in the first pic).
Do I need to repot this plant already? Should I prune most/all of the bad leaves? Should I spray it with something like potassium soap as a preventive measure?
Haven't watered it yet although the soil moisture meter gives it a 3.5. It's going to stay <6ft away from a south facing window.
Thank you in advance.
