After the repotting and new environment stress, it initially lost all pitchers, but has formed new ones half a year ago.
Now, it is thriving and still has the problem, that every pitcher has no digestive liquid inside, even when still closed.
Thought you all might appreciate a follow-up now that a bunch of leaves have come in. Here’s hoping they remain for at least 6 months, that last dormancy took forever!
I’ve been taking my plants to the kitchen to water/drain 1-2 pots at a time but….I may or may not have purchased 10 more plants yesterday and that’s a lot of back and forth. They’re mostly in my foyer which is a half level down.
Another one in bloom in the bromeliad terrarium. The flowers in the center take turns extending in the evening. So far they never actually open, just one sticks out above the rest and then goes back with the rest by morning. Equally facinating and frustrating is wondering what the hell the intended pollinator is for these plants.
This handsome little guy came as a free bonus from Holm’s orchid shop. I think they’re doing their own hybrids since there’s a bunch of Holm-named hybrids in their web shop.
I had no idea some succulents could do this. I mean, I knew you could easily propagate them from cuttings but I thought at least a small section of the stem/rhizome needed to be intact. This just happened by sheer accident after it broke off.
Here are my Pinguicula agnata and P. moranensis.
They are the "parents" and just a few months old themselves.
They were in the succulent stage when I bought them and finally developed their carnivorous leaves!
I made this planter (<- imgur gallery) to sell at a pair of craft fairs I'm attending this month and next. I needed something small enough I could fit a few of them on the 6 foot table. I can make them in any color but I love how the black and white turned out.
Looking for the wisdom of the more experienced. I have what I think is pest damage on my alocasia. I was suspicious of spidemites, but haven’t visualized any pests on the plant. I have been showering it and treating with insecticidal soap. The last leaf came out facing upwards and bowed, and it’s working on a new leaf now. It’s been next to another alocasia (that I’ve also been treating), but I’m not having issues with it. I also did accidentally let its water reservoir go dry. I don’t think that helped anything, but I don’t think it was the cause.
I bought a banana tree in August of 2021 and never thought it would actually fruit. I was walking by it the other night and saw something purple/maroon out of the corner of my eye. Popped my head between some leaves and was greeted by some baby bananas!
I have a bit of a conundrum. Twice now I've seen fairly large mealy bugs in this ping's dish. ordinarilly I'd dunk the whole plant (roots and all) into insectidal soap for 30 minutes. With pings though I worry the leaves are too sensitive.
She's growing wild on her windowsill. Need to add new earth soon, this is going to be interesting since she already threw a small branch towards me when I turned her for the photo 😬
This is my second try. I got a bunch of seeds from a hobbyist and put them on LECA first. Most of them got washed away, and those that stayed, died a pretty quick death.
I had to try a different method.
I honestly didn't think it could take down prey that chunky but clearly the plant had other plans. Good riddance too, that fly was buzzing around the bedroom last night.
I've had this plant for a while in other countries, and it was always very easy going. But after the last time I moved the sapling I took with me has started struggling.
Semi-hydro is so popular now, but everyone says to replace the water every few days because it runs out of oxygen. Coming from the aquarium/pond world I thought, "what if I put an extra bubble thing+pump into the pot?"
This Hoya is growing like crazy, but I noticed these black marks on the vine. It also had some mold growth on the pon. I repotted with fresh pon into a pot that, I’m hoping, will allow better airflow. The roots looked really good. Do I need to do any additional treatment?
I don't have much experience in growing carnivorous plants. This is my NOID hybrid Nepenthes, who is my test subject. I try to raise my CPs as vegetarians mostly ;)
I got my firefly petunias from light.bio around a month or so ago and they're now just starting to take off. This picture was taken in a dark room with no windows, though I'm sure the phone brightened it up a bit. They aren't as bright as I was imagining, but I still find them neat.
A maybe dead orchid. Half the stems are green. Some of the leaves are dark green. We're aren't sure if we can save her but we don't want to throw her out, if there's a chance. Any help appreciated!
The Bromeliad is a longtime resident of this window, but the Ground Cherry seed fell into the pot accidentally and started growing. Guess I'll have more delicious ground cherries soon!
Hi everyone,
Recently I noticed these little insects on one of my orchids. So far I tried getting rid of them by removing them manually followed by liberal application of soap water. Now they appeared on a second plant so apparently I was not successful.
Does anybody know why this is happening on my philodendron billietiae? Most of the roots have grown down toward the reservoir, except for this one. The plant seems pretty happy and is working on a new leaf.
I think I've had this plant since 2018 and it just started growing a stalk for the first time a week or so ago. This afternoon I noticed a sweet scent in the day room where it lives and saw that it started blooming! I didn't even know it could do that and only learned the name of the plant after I saw the new stalk growing out of it. The house smells so nice!!
