It will generate and be healthier. One thing for future reference (and you didn't do anything wrong) but it is OK to remove part of the fine haired root system when repotting. Sometimes, you may even have to cut/chop/slice the stem or root right off of the plant in order to repot and when done correctly - can be very beneficial for the plant. If you have a lot of soil in the root system next time, it is ok to pull that apart, shake the dirt from the system or even cut the system down. There are some fabulous video trainings of repotting and cutting violets down to size online. This is just the beginning for you and great things/plants/experiences are sure to come....lots of learning and growing too :) Dora PS..keep track and we'd love to see pics in about 2 weeks.

Hiya Zzini and all, Enjoy your vacation! I agree with Orrin that you cacti and succulents will be totally fine. Like you suggested, I'd just give them a drink right before you leave. The adeniums might, just might, shed a few leaves, but they will be fine. I wouldn't worry at all. I always triple check my automatic irrigation system before heading out of town, even when I have a house sitter, just to make sure everyone is getting the drinks I think they are, especially newer plants. Let us know how it goes! Safe travels, Grant.

That trunk looks pretty bad to me. Definitely not normal and also serious. I would start over with a new tree planted at the correct depth. The shoot may be AB if the tree was rooted from a cutting, but I think it would have to be replanted higher if you want it to survive.

This recall is about users selecting the wrong cycle (Normal or Heavy Duty) when washing bulky or waterproof/resistant items such as bedding (comforters, mattress pads, bedspreads), shower curtains, sleeping bags, parkas, and the like. Every video I've seen on YouTube or news feeds covering an exploded washer that still has the load in it, the item(s) are as such. The explosion happens when the machine balances for spin, revs up to maximum 1,000 RPM (or whatever it may be), and the balance condition shifts due to sudden release of a pocket of retained water from the item. The manufacturer is cited as being at fault for not designing a safety system to stop the spin. Seriously ... there's NO WAY to INSTANTLY stop the mass of the washer drum and clothes load from spinning at 1,000 RPM (or higher in some cases). The electronics and sensors did their job for balancing the load at the start of spin. There's no way to anticipate that the balance conditions would change. The recall involves adding a security bracket to further secure the machine top, AND stickers that 1) relabel the cycles such that the Delicate cycle is designated for Bulky/Bedding, 2) warn that catastrophic damage may occur if the wrong cycle is used for such items, and 3) that waterproof items are not to be washed. Delicate runs a slower spin speed which serves to avoid the high g-forces and catastrophic explosion if balance conditions change after-the-fact at higher spin speeds.
