I got these tissue culture melo albos from The Eden Lab. I know that you have to initially treat tissue cultures differently but I’m not sure at what point you can start treating them the same as corm grown pups. They appear to already be in soil. Should I be re potting them as soon as they are settled? Do they still need to be in a humidity dome? One is bigger than the other, I don’t know if this makes a difference.

Some extra info: They will be kept in a cabinet that is always above 25 degrees Celsius, the humidity is usually between 60-80% and they have grow lights.

I had a look for some info on the website/ebay shop and there isn’t any. Thanks!

(I actually only bought one but was given an extra, possibly because of the damage on one leaf that wasn’t in the photos - win in my book!)

I’ve recently bought some Tenaya Arumas (about a month ago) and I’m loving them so far! They’re very comfy, no sore spots but I do need to take them off every now and again in a session as they’re pretty downturned. I’ve found they pretty much live up to what I expected, they’re great for smearing and super sensitive. They don’t have as much support on tiny holds as a stiffer shoe but again, that’s to be expected of a super soft shoe. I had Tenaya Oasi LVs before this (which I loved) and I feel like they are exactly the step up I needed. I’ve used these for both outside and inside sport climbing as well as bouldering inside.

I’ve not seen a single other person climbing in them yet and there isn’t much in the way of reviews since they’re so new so I just wondered if anyone has them as well and what you think??

This photo was the day I bought them, they don’t look so shiny and new anymore however they still score 10/10 for style points in my opinion!

I got this Alocasia sanderiana pink when it was teeny. It threw out a reverted leaf, lost the rest of its leaves and looked like it was going to die. I’d half given up on it coming back but it’s just thrown this absolute beaut out!! It’s upsized loads and the variegation has come back in full force!

Since January I have been gradually building this cabinet. It is an Ikea Milsbo tall with custom laser cut shelves that I designed. There’s still loads of new plants I want to add and things I want to do with it but I’m finally at a stage where I wanted to share it!! 😊

I’m aware the humidity is showing as low, it’s only because I had the doors open to clean it. It usually averages around 70% humidity.

Trying to pressurise my baxi 600 combi boiler. When I open the valves it makes this horrendous loud banging noise (as shown in the video). I’m renting so I basically need to know if it’s something I can fix (or something I’m doing wrong) or if I need to get the landlord involved. The pressure is currently at 0.

I’ve just found full blown adult thrips on my Thai con seemingly out of no where. No larvae visible (even with a jewellers loupe), I even have preventative predatory mites. This guy lives in a cabinet and I’ve done a brief search and haven’t found any anywhere else but I will of course treat every single plant as if it is infected because they surely are. I’m so upset, I’ve been SO careful. I even made myself and my boyfriend do a full strip down and wash when we came back from a house that had thrips. The idea of regularly treating all 20 plants in the cabinet (not to mention any others in the house that might be infected) is so overwhelming!

As the title says, this leaf has decided to turn upside down… I have no clue why. It lives in a cabinet that is always between 65-80% humidity and above 20degrees Celsius. There is a T5 barrina light about 20cm away. For context it was in a smaller cabinet but I was struggling to keep the humidity level so I moved it about 2 months ago. It has a predatory mite sachet on not because I’ve seen any signs of pests, just as a precaution incase it’s weird behaviour is because of something I can’t see. Thanks!

Edit: forgot to say it’s currently in a semi hydro closed system setup with perlite and fluval.

I need to repot this little guy however I received it in fluval and I want to change to probably pon. I haven’t had much luck changing substrate in the past for semi hydro so any tips? I have lechuza basic pon.

It’s currently going through water twice a day so I need to get it in a bigger pot 😅

This cactus was my great grandmothers’s (my grandma’s mum) and was taken from her house 40 years ago when she died. They’re not sure how long she had it for before that!

I’ve had this albo for over a month now so I decided it’s time to investigate. It has one vine that’s grown all the way up and it seems to have another single leaf cutting planted next to it. It looks to me like it’s planted too far in however I’m not an expert in planting cuttings by any means. I’d love some advice on if it is too deep and how to fix it so it could hopefully start growing as its own vine. Thanks!!
