  • I gave you a link to the resource library at the end of my message, if you prefer to use that then do.

    I’ve tried to explain to you the complexity of the topic and why a community like this is worth engaging with, if that’s not how you want to proceed then I wish you well.

    If you are ever unsure about things after reading those resources, then you know you can always come back here.


  • There was a time when Stack Overflow was an amazing tech resource for unique or interesting problems, as the library of responses was reusable and could be updated with new responses and information over time. Users built trust with other users and getting a solution by direct engagement with a trustworthy user was invaluable.

    Your response here is like the extremely unhelpful people who would respond with something like “read the documentation”

    There is a lot of basic plant information on websites, but some of it is conflicting and it can be hard to trust. Diagnosis of a plant’s problem is also difficult, especially if more than one issue is present at once. It is often preferable for someone to want to ask for people’s opinion and have some engagement with other like minded people.

    Communities like this are potentially the best part of the internet, so please don’t consider asking here as some kind of burden, the more people ask the more people help, the better the community becomes. Over time, people become more experienced and potentially shift from the ones asking for help to the ones helping. That isn’t unique to plants, it applies to any number of special interest communities.

    It’s a bullshit job though. Do you refuse to use elevators because they no longer have attendants? Having worked on a checkout at one time, it was always depressing. Plus there were other tasks that could be done and most people you deal with are awful.

    People making the same old quips also make the job that little bit more unbearable - “must be free”, urgh. Seriously you are not gods gift to comedy with these jokes, workers hear them 100 times every day and it is like some kind of compounding psychological damage each time.


  • I know others have already said you’re watering too much, which is probably true, but I noticed this looks like a thai constellation. I think it might be getting sunburnt based on a similar thing happening to mine 2 years ago. Are the brown patches happening in the completely white parts of the leaves? If so that is probably it rather than too much water.

    If you can post a picture of the soil by lifting it out of the nursery pot that would be helpful. That way people can see the root condition and type of soil that it is in. The suggestions for repotting it might be needed, but not the priority action if the browning isn’t caused by a soil/water issue.

    If you move the plant to get less sun and repot it all at the same time it could be a big shock to the already struggling plant.

    It might be that you should move the plant then a month later change the soil, but without seeing the soil it is hard to be sure.

    In general it sounds like you are watering too much, but those problems might not have materialised yet if you only had it 6 months. If possible, invest in a moisture probe and only water when the soil has dried rather than on any kind of schedule.

    This is standard where I work but getting promoted gives a decent raise to make up for it. It’s a shame for them that I don’t want anymore responsibility though, so I just work less hard each year based on inflation.






  • I don’t think OP thinks they are actually equivalent though, it’s just a satirical comparison.

    Another comparison could be vegans. Environmental impact of meat consumption is huge and it also has the more obvious harm and ethical issues.

    Vegans get a lot of shit anyway, but imagine if every comment or post about meat, regardless of where it was or in what context got a barrage of abrasive comments from vegans?

    You will never convince someone of your cause if you’re a dick to them. It’s a huge internet trait to just go full meltdown at everything rather than talk with some you don’t agree with to aim for a better outcome.

    Nestle produces a lot of other things than sugar and fat. So much in fact that it’s actually hard to completely avoid them. The point is that they are a terrible company who does bad things, so you should boycott them.

    Also, people can indulge in sugar and fat if they want to.

    Little edit on that past point because some people don’t understand indulge doesn’t always mean over indulge, or they outright think I’m deranged because I might indulge in a chocolate bar as a treat in my otherwise varied and balanced diet and I suggested others might do the same if they want to.

    I understand too much fat and chocolate is bad, that doesn’t mean the world should never eat things that might be bad for them in moderation, relax.
