What are pros/cons or best practices for using a pouring watering mechanism or using a spray bottle? I’ve never really understood this

Oh, I’m no expert but what I’ve observed is a few things:
For older mature plants, pouring by the base is good. Moisture on leaves can lead to rot.
For younger sprouts, spritzing is perfect as it keeps the soil moist and doesn’t disturb the growing.

Also, there are some plants that don’t like too much water, so I spray those lightly. It’s all about the desire and ability to take on moisture.

Spraying helps with the humidity too I think. Esp in the winter when the air is dry

I’m looking for apartments in LA. I was looking at Vinz at Fairfax. Two people are thanking the apartment complex for allowing their autistic friend to live there. Do autistic people have a hard time renting? Sad if so & would appreciate the apartment even more if they’re accommodating to people on the spectrum. One review mentioned it’s a “homeless shelter to autistic” so I didn’t know if it was code for something.

Also, any reviews on Vinz fishies can share? I dknt always Google reviews.

How do I say to my boss "I constantly drift off in meetings and when you're talking so could you please be more engaging or send this in an email?" without losing my job? Sometimes I'm in a meeting and when I leave I genuinely couldn't tell you what was discussed. Is there a scientific explanation for the brain fog I get with ADHD? Because it sucks.

Hi! Does anyone know why these marks are showing on my leaves? Squiggly lines and little dots. It’s on two different plants - dahlias and marigold. Is it too much sun, or pest, or something else? They’re on an East-facing balcony in Pacific Northwest weather so they get sun in the morning. Thanks so much!
