What’s you favorite board?! 💕

I am looking for a new easy going, fun board primarily for the slopes:)

ATM I’m riding a Nitro Fate Zero, and I always loved it but since it is 9 years old by now, I feel like a new addition could not hurt.

For powder I’m riding a CAPITA Spring Break and I’ve also purchased a CAPITA Birds of Feather a couple Seasons ago as a first attempt to replace my Nitro. I honestly really hated the feeling of the Birds of a Feather on the snow and only took it to the mountains like 4 times 😅

I was living in Austria right in the mountains a couple of years so for my riding level I would say I’m advanced in terms of terrain but I’m not doing anything crazy and don’t feel the need Need anymore to always push myself to the limits.

I’m looking for a board that is fun on the slopes, but can also catch an edge when it gets I little icy (so maybe not a full rocker?!). In basically just carrying about a good time, maybe some little sidehits and if the stars a could even a little jump on the medium line in the funpark.

My boards are all 147/148 and that size suits me well.

If you have any recommendations please let me know and if I forgot any information to share please let me know 💕

My Monstera is healthy but refuses to grow upwards – what would you do? 😃

Hey everyone,
I could really use some advice on my Monstera. 😊

She’s growing well and keeps putting out big, healthy leaves, but instead of growing upwards, she’s mostly growing sideways and getting wider and wider.

I’ve already tried repotting her once, but ran into a problem: the main stem/trunk is bent quite a bit inside the pot, and because of the way the roots have developed, I can’t really straighten her without forcing things. The only way she fits into a pot is pretty much in the position she’s currently in.

Another complication is that she doesn’t produce many aerial roots. When she was younger, I actually guided the lower aerial roots into the soil, so they became regular roots and now help anchor the plant in the pot. Because of that, I don’t really have aerial roots available to attach to a moss pole, which seems to be the usual recommendation.

So now I’m a bit stuck and not sure what the best next step would be:
- Should I repot her again and try to reposition her somehow?
- Is there a way to encourage more upright growth despite the bent stem?
- Can a moss pole still work even if there are barely any aerial roots?
- Would you chop and propagate, or is there another option I’m not thinking of?

I’ve attached a photo for reference. Overall she’s healthy, but I’d love to help her grow more vertically and become easier to manage.

Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🌿😊

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever followed from this app because it sounded like a great idea at the time 😃

Let’s get some funny stories for a good laugh. Here are so many people, I am sure there must be hundreds of thousands stories where tips were not as helpful as they seemed in the beginning 😂
