Hi! I have this little gam (around 8 cm long), it's a girl. I just checked on her and she was on her usual eating spot, holding on her poop near the head while her butt is wide open pointing down... This freaked me a bit out, because it was open like that for a little while, and only after I took some pictures it finally closed. At first I couldn't under what that was, but that is indeed her butt. There was no poop near it (the poop on the pictures is all from yesterday) so I can't tell if she was just pooping or not. She's definitely alive and doesn't show any other signs of being unwell. I'm wondering, is it normal?

I got this pencil in Ukraine in around 2017-2020, it had a metal black round body that started flaking off with gold underneath, so I removed it and put thread on top instead. I don't have the original body anymore, it was the same thickness as the black grip part. The tip used to be black as well and also flaked off to the same gold colour. Under the cap there used to be a tiny eraser. You need to press on the cap to get the lead out. The lead size is 0.5

It's still working perfectly fine (not counting that it can't hold the lead anymore when it reaches 1.5 cm in length) and I love it, but the grip part became a bit sticky so I'd like to replace that part...

Hi! A few years ago I was gifted this Galaxy Watch 3 that had pink leather bands. After a couple of years of use, the bands started literally falling apart, so I stopped using the watch for a while. Right now I want to "revive" my watch and get new bands so I can use it again, but when looking for new ones some people say the ones from models 4 and above are not compatible with GW 3, and I'm not sure if that's true. Also, what straps would you recommend? (I prefer leather or some soft fabric if that's a thing, but open to other options)

Hi, I need help! I was gifted this peperomia a couple of months ago, and since then it has been having very soft, thin and weak leaves. It also gets a huge ton of new growth, but all the new leaves also seem to be soft and thin. After being at the gardening center the other day and seeing the same plant there having very hard and strong leaves, I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong. The soil mix I used was 50% potting soil 50% pumice, and it's kept under the growing lamp. It stays soft like this even after I water it. I wonder, is it the soil that's the problem? Should I change it? If yes, what soil mix would be better?

I got this leaf that looked exactly like crassula ovata gollum, but instead of an actual gollum when I propagated it, it grew up into a regular jade. It looks very pretty and I love it with all my heart, but I'm just wondering how this happened...

Found a bunch of these tiny guys in the soil of one of my pots that were outside for a while. They look a bit flattened, most of them are white and tiny and only one of them was dark brown

This is my favourite oc, she's a pretty old one too, the main inspiration was ginkgo tree. I really love her, and I love the colours of her design, but my partner said they don't like the colours of the clothes and expected them to be different. This has been sitting in my head for a while and makes me very sad, because I genuinely see nothing wrong with the colours of this design and I like them, but now I slowly start disliking my oc because of that comment... I just want to know if there's actually something wrong and I'm just colourblind and should change it or if I'm overthinking

My aloe had pups, and as spring started I checked on all my plants and removed the pups. Aloe seemed thirsty, so I watered it, but the pot had no drainage holes (couldn't find one of the right size with holes, finally found one two days ago) and it seems I accidentally overwatered and caused root rot. I noticed when the bottom leaves looked very mushy and fell apart, so I took it out and there are indeed no roots left except for a couple of new ones. I removed some of the rotten roots that are left and now I'm thinking what to do.

Some questions I have:

1. Should I remove some of the bottom leaves for the stem to be longer? The thing is the plant can't stand on its own because it got long, and it keeps falling over the pot. It was like this since I got it. I rescued it, so it was a bit deformed (some leaves flat in the middle) and it just never came back from that shape. If no, should I somehow prop it?

2. What pot to choose? A pot that's big enough for the plants is wayyyy too big for the roots that it has, and the pot suitable for the roots is too small for the leaves and will just fall. Could I use big pot and fill it to 1/3 or 1/2 with soil so that the walls could hold the top of the plant?

The soil I used before was 100% succulent potting mix from the store, I'm going to switch to 50% succulent potting mix and 50% perlite. The plant is kept indoors under a grow lamp, gets light for 12 hours a day and is only watered when the leaves are soft.

(bonus soil cake at the end)

I got lots of free cuttings and I'm trying to figure out what they all are, since they all gave roots and I want to put cuttings of the same type together in same pots. I put them in small groups by leaf similarities and made some assumptions on what they could be, could you please confirm if my assumptions are correct and if not then what they actually are?

Don't mind the damaged leaves, my snail ate it.

I recently put this pothos under two lamps instead of one, and I noticed that two of its leaves in a separate cutting look dark green and like halved, not like other cuttings near it.
