Any suggestions on this one? Got a bit stretched but seems to be filling out. Recently gave it a new pot which seemed to help. Should I chop and prop the top to achieve a fuller plant and let the bottom keep growing the pups?
Rooted this cutting in a shot glass of water, refilling with fresh water occasionally. The biggest leaf is the newest. It was potted with only 3 leaves on the stem. It’s in a succulent heavy mix with some high quality potting soil mixed in. It got some mycorrhizae when it was planted. Watering about every week or so but not on a schedule, just whenever the media runs out of moisture. Should I be looking out for anything specific as for as growth points or branches? Should the small bend at the top concern me? Someone school me on these maculatas.
Any tips to help this do better? I’m happy with it so far but looking for tips on optimizing growth and structure. Currently in a quick draining soil mix under led lights.
Impressed with this pink dragon I started a couple months ago. Was an unrooted corn. It’s in a small clear to-go cup with holes in the bottom so I can watch the root progress.
Those of us with large jade collections, what are we doing/using as preventative care against pests? What’s your go to, soil drench or sprays? What is your schedule?
This one wasn’t getting enough light, stretched. Got put under LEDs and started showing sun stress on all the stretched portions. It’s still producing pups and roots. I’m surprised it’s doing so well while being so stressed. Debating beheading it and rooting that top cluster to start a tighter growing plant. Any suggestions? Any guesses as to the cross?
This branch was trimmed off this jade before I acquired it. It’s an ideal location for one to grow if I did a hard prune. Could this spot potentially branch out again, or is it one and done?
Just sharing these newly sprouted corms. All harvested from established plants. Black velvet, frydek, Polly, and pink dragon. Planted in a gritty mix in 9oz cups with holes in the bottom. Gonna try to harden them off a bit since my house has a slightly lower humidity at the moment. I also have another 28 corms germinating. Thanks for looking, let me know what you think.
These were planted in soil and the leaves were having a bunch of issues in their environment. I had to remove the leaves in hopes of getting these to restart in a new environment. Normally I puddle method my corms, but with corms this size I was curious if I should puddle these until they throw a leaf or should they see media? Any input is appreciated.
Is it normal for frydek corm leaves to be so small. I’ve started a handful of different alocasias from corms and these have the smallest leaves by far.
These are all rooted and most are growing pups. They’re in a very shallow dish. I’ve had them under grow lights for a bit (couple months for some, less for others.) I’ll occasionally thoroughly mist the soil with water. Wonder when the best time to separate them might be.
How would you go about making one of these?
I’ve done them with a more square footprint. I sketch, extrude, spline point line the shape with tangents, split the body, shell, extrude the flange, add some fillets.
I’m curious how to do it with a non square footprint where one side is longer than the other, like in the picture. Can’t seem to figure it out. Splitting the body and deleting is giving me alot of deleteface1 errors.
Any direction appreciated. Here’s a picture of what I’m trying to make, and one I’ve done. Thanks.
