- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 2 days ago:
I’m going to respond seriously in case this is a serious post:
Typically the “fishy” smell comes from Bacterial Vaginosis, which is an imbalance of bacteria that can be caused by several factors. It’s not common in healthy vaginas and if yours smells like fish then I recommend seeing a doctor and having it treated. Most women do not have a foul odour down there, especially not one that you can smell through clothes while keeping normal social distances.
You can’t believe everything you’ve read on the internet. Also, it sounds like the men you’re getting your information from are either prepetuating this myth unintentionally, or are very immature and think they’re funny (they’re not). I recommend going out and actually interacting with women, there are plenty of women out there who are also not girly that have similar interests to you. They won’t smell any different than a man would.
The best way to overcome your preconceived notions about others is by genuinely interacting with those people. I’m sorry you were bullied, but just as jerks exist in all genders, so do kind and awesome people.

Did this show just do a complete 180 from cute romcom to stalker thriller? I honestly don’t know what to expect now lol

If you’re looking for horror then this is not that show. More so just a super-natural comedy. There does seem to be a bit of a plot but overall it’s a fairly low-stakes show. There are some heavier themes occasionally but so far it’s been pretty light for the most part.

😭 Poor Tamon

I didn’t expect to like this show so much but it’s easily one of my favourites for this season. I like how she’s unashamedly obsessed with Tamon and at the same time in complete denial over her very real feelings for Gloomyhara.

This one hasn’t flowered yet but the flowers are super cool looking! it did put out a peduncle but it’s right on top of the soil so the buds blasted off before blooming

Lol I'm glad you found them because I did not know what they were called. I picked em up from my local nursery, they're pretty sturdy and were under $10 CAD

I think this is a pretty neat idea! For some smaller pots I use a tray filled with water (linked below) for them to butt-chug and then I move them to an empty tray to dry before putting them back in their place
4” plant pot to help with scale.
I’ve seen others use their bathtub but I like the idea of not risking dirt/perlite/etc. clogging up the drains. Depending on your drain you could use a metal debris catcher thingy like I have in my laundry room sink (I found mine at the dollar store):

- Comment on New Alocasia Jacklyn leaf came in 4 months ago:
I find if I don't make my soil super chunky then it stays damp for way too long. My house is pretty humid usually so I usually go with 1:1:1 orchid bark, perlite, and potting soil. So far all of my plants have grown well in it, though I did have a lemon button fern that loved straight soil and staying damp. I miss that little guy... Stupid thrips.

You could try a cat friendly plant and hang it out of reach? Not sure how acrobatic your cat is though, I'm lucky mine leaves the plants alone. Though I think I've overwhelmed her with the quantity and so she's not very interested lol

Lol the wall is actually more dusky in person (like a muddy rust), my camera makes it look bright orange so I look like a crazy person.
Care regime lately has just been to water when dry (so like every 7-14 days) and fertilize rarely (mostly because I forget). It actually doesn't live where it is in the picture but hangs out right in my east facing sliding door so it gets lots of morning light. I keep it and most of my plants in a chunky mix (1 part orchid bark, 1 part perlite, 1 part potting soil), otherwise they take forever to dry out with the humidity here.
It probably would be a lot bigger if I hadn't swapped everything to semi hydro last year to try and be rid of fungus gnats (a strategy which actually did work, but I'm a laxy plant parent so they didn't really thrive in that). It lived in water for quite a while re-rooting so it was just a sad and dying leaf a couple months ago. It's made a huge comeback this summer, with another leaf on the way.

I don't expect it to last long on Clevatess, but I think he's probably an important part of the plot. I don't think he'll live forever but I would've been surprised if they immediately killed him off.
