I have a maranta lemon lime for a year now and her leaves are starting to get yellow when they mature. This didn't happen before. I repotted her half a year ago and her roots look healthy to me, she also keeps growing new leaves, it's just that they yellow after a while.
She's under a sansi grow light and she also gets some light from a north facing window.
Any idea what's going on?
Does anyone know what's happening with this leaf? I have her under sansi grow lights and she never had problems with the light. This leaf is months old and is used to this amount of light. She doesn't have any pests. Is the leaf burnt or dying or something else?
I'm not sure if I need to move her to a darker spot or not. I know when the leaves are facing away from the light this is mostly a sign they want less light and I know red secrets are sensitive for too much light, but 1 leaf is turning around all the way and doing some acrobatics to catch more light.. I have no idea what to do now. (The leaves where like this before the knew leaf started forming btw.)
I have a blackberry bush in my backyard and I was wondering if there is something wrong with it because this year the beige spots on the blackberries is worse than last year.
I had a big crash 3 months ago and a few weeks ago I started feeling a tiny little bit better.
I live in the Netherlands and the weather has been crazy lately, it's cooling down a little bit but damage has already been done and I'm back to feeling like I did 3 months ago. Everytime I think I'm improving a bit, something always happens that's out of my controll.
I hope I can recover from this before the next possible heatwave hits my country. I'm getting so anxious about the weather you guys😞
Oh, and I got a lettre in the mail from my landlord that I need to take better care of my garden. Don't have the money for a gardener, don't have any friends or family and I have 21 days to figure it out.
I'm having a good time/s
My philodendron grows smaller and smaller leaves and the leaf that's she's growing now is going to be really tiny. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
​
She's has been growing in a north facing window sill in winter without growlight so it was expected she would struggle a bit but I've moved her to a south facing window in spring.
​
I have her in a pre made soil mix from sybotanica and feed her half strength every other watering. I have repotted her in fall last year so not that long ago and she doesn't seem to be rootbound (?) even though their is a stubbern root growing at the top of the soil.
​
I can't think of anything wrong except maybe she wants to fill in her pot more and likes to be more rootbound like some alocasia's that I have and didnt have a change to do so because of the cold in fall and winter.
​
Any advice or other ideas about what can be going on?
So this is a thing for 5 months now. The last 5 months I have improved to the point where I don't buy anything that I don't need for 3 weeks, and than I get my pms symptoms and I relapse again. Sometimes it's only a few new plants that I want, but this time I bought a lot of (second hand) clothes and new curtains.
​
So I think my hormones are definitely a trigger for me but I also don't see a lot of rewards from trying to save because I'm on welfare. The best I can do when all the essentials are covered is around 150 euro a month. This is just so depressing.
​
Any advice on how to feel like saving is actually more rewarding than spending and how do I stop myself from going on the webshops? As long as I can stay away from the online webshops I'm good, but as soon as I see something I want I can't stop myself anymore so I try to stay away which I only fail at in my pms week..

My black velvet pink variegata kept killing off her leaves so I took her out of the soil (pre mixed alocasia soil from sybotanica) and it had root rot. I removed all the mushy roots and she had a couple of healthy roots left and I put her in sphagnum moss. This was a month ago. I checked on the corm today because it's doing abolutely nothing and there where no roots left at all but the corm is still ferm.
​
So maybe I kept the moss too moist? What do I need to do now to make her grow roots again?
I'm sick for over 13 years now and tried everything. I even went to London to the Uptimum Health Clinic and they taught me brain retraining. I was told that: "it's not what you do, but the way that you do it." So it didn't matter what I did, as long as I did it in a calm way so not to trigger my nervous system.
I thought that this was pacing, so when I heard people talk about them trying to pace, I thought they ment doing things in a calm way.
No matter how hard I tried I always got to a point that I started to feel rushed, because I knew I was going to feel worse tomorrow. I tried really hard not to rush through things and I blamed myself for doing the task that I wanted to do in a fast way. I thought that this was the reason I was getting worse and worse for over a decade. And ofcourse, me stressing about feeling worse after doing something was making me sick as well ( as I was told), which ironically, made me very nervous about having those thoughts.
About 6 weeks ago I pushed myself too hard (again) but this time my crash was really bad, and after some reading about pacing I could see what I was doing wrong all those years.. I was in a push crash cycle. Learning this made my hopes go up again.
So I'm trying to educate myself as mush as possible about how to pace and find my baseline, but I feel my body is still not recovered from the big crash 6 weeks ago and the symtoms fluctuate a lot, I don't have the feeling I'm poisent anymore and I can do some very light things. Also using a chair when I cook or do the dishes etc.
I've only been able to walk my dog 3 times for 10 minutes and today was a really bad day mentally because I've been feeling like crap for so long whilest trying so hard, so I was like " fuck it, i'm going to walk my dog today for 20 minutes and I did. I'm almost sertain I'm going to crash tomorrow but I don't care because I'm just so pissed of and so fed up with this shit!
I'm trying so hard to pace but I probably do it all wrong because I'm just not feeling any better and it's so frustrating! Oh, and the damn hormones messing me up as well, there is just no winning and I probably made myself permanente worse with the last crash anyhow..
I'm terrified this pacing thing isn't going to help me anyhow so why am I trying so hard?
There's no leaf growing from the base of the stem, but there are a lot of stems growing from the side.. Is this normal for a watsoniana or is there something wrong with it?
Hi!
5 weeks ago I REALLY pushed myself and I was in a bad crash for half a week or so. Normally I'm moderate but this time I coudn't walk anymore and l was so dizzy and nausious I coudn't turn my head when laying down because the room would spin like crazy. I was really scared I wasn't going to get out of it.
The worst of my PEM started to get better after 4 days or so, but it took weeks before I started to notice a bit more improvement. Than my menstruation started and I felt worse again. It's been a week sinds it has stopped but I stil feel like my body is still trying to recover from the PEM.
I'm very worried I messed it up so badly when I over did it and caused myself PEM that this is going to be my new baseline, but maybe it just takes longer for my body to recover from this crash because it was such a bad one.
Anyone has any ideas on what is going on? Is it normal for people with ME that it takes months to recover from PEM, or is my baseline lowered so much that I'm now going into moderate/severe?
Hi!
Is it normal for symptoms to fluctuate more when recovering from a crash (PEM) compared to how much symptoms fluctuate when fully recovered from PEM and back on a staidy baseline?
Hi! I'm looking for people on this subreddit who had moderate to severe ME/cfs for more than 5 years (looking for the long haulers) and fully or almost fully recovered from ME/cfs.
I want to know if you guys are out there and also like to know how you got better or went from moderate/severe to mild.
