  • PostgreSQL is definitely a boost to performance, especially if you offload the DB to a dedicated server (depending on load, can even be a cluster)

    Nevertheless, it probably has much to do with how it’s deployed and how many proxies are in front of it, and/or VPN. If you have large numbers of containers and small CPU/low memory hardware, and either running everything on one machine or have some other limitations, it’ll be slow.

    Admittedly, I’m not very familiar with the codebase, but I feel Apache isn’t improving the speed either. Not exactly sure how PHP is nowadays with concurrency and async, but generally a microservice type architecture is nice because you can add more workers/instances wherever a bottleneck emerges.















  • My guess is the soil probably not having the correct nutrients/pH. Other suspect is over watering or not enough drainage, but that’s not likely IMO. Maybe repot with adding 50% gardening soil and water sparingly with some rainwater and add some low intensity fertilizer - it should come back with new sprouts.

    Best way to propagate is to cut a piece off the root ball with stem and all, as this develops much faster.

    Just the stem works too in water, but takes much longer. You leave it in the water and change it regularly until it grows about an inch or two of roots. Then plant it in some proper soil (mix of coco choir and soil worked great for me) and wait about 6 months, watering sparingly, as the root ball develops. Only then will the cutting slowly die off and new leaves will begin to sprout out of the soil. You’ll have to be patient though.

    Don’t forget to use fertilizer every few weeks from spring to fall, but a gentle one, I always use standard vegetable fertilizer in a medium dose
