Very proud of my Rosy

This is my only Calathea and my second attempt of saving a Rosy from Lowes clearance.

First photo is when I got it in March 2026 and the rest are from today (October 2026)

The first few months I didn't have any growth, I was struggling with humidity, and I lost some leaves. After I started a pebble tray and put a makeshift cloche on it's been doing great! I keep in a bright north window behind a sheer curtain, and water with distilled :)

many strange diagonal walls have me confused 😵‍💫

*not to scale the rooms are a little smaller than shown*

i have 2 rooms i use as my living room. my boyfriend swears the tv won't work anywhere else, and so the couch is just awkwardly in the center of the room. i think the couch is the biggest problem, but nowhere seems good.

what would you do with the couch? is there anything else that stands out?

thanks for any help you can give!

large furry white spider with red accents

i was in my garage and came across a furry white and red spider in a web. it was the size of my face. i love spiders so i wasn't totally horrified. i was astonished a spider that big and striking was in wisconsin. i think i was busy hauling something somewhere with my boyfriend so i left it. when i came back it wasn't where i last saw it and it made me anxious. i found it and although intimidated i was going to take it outside. i woke up before i could, and felt i needed to remember that spider.

what on earth is going on with this spider plant? (i don't think it's a pup)

it's grown a tube that has 2 leaves connected together???

i think i might of swallowed a piece of my grandma's soul when she passed???

ever since my (29F) grandma passed away around 2 months ago i've been having this feeling like she's still living through me or influencing me somehow.

i read about spiritual attachment but i'm not sure that's it - she was the most religious person on the planet stg i don't think she'd have trouble transitioning to whatever the other side is??

i spent a lot of time with her as a child but we haven't been close for at least 10 years. visiting her on her deathbed was the first time i saw her in 2-3 years. we live very different lifestyles - she was prim and proper and i'm a slightly feral alt person. how could someone so different and distant be influencing me beyond the grave??

any info you can give on the possibilities, education about attachments i may have missed, anything - i'd appreciate.
