Just got this Billie hybrid! The seller didn’t remember the cross so what’s everyone’s thoughts?
It has a beautiful maroon color on the bottom of the leaf and a gold-ish stem that fades to pale green.
This is just a personal plant :)
I’m so ecstatic, and I made a new plant friend :’)
Hey yall! I’ve had this Veitchii for a year, when I first got it it was only 2-3 inches tall and had more leaves (I believe it was initially grown from TC due to the plethora of suckers at the base, which have since died)
I’ve read they’re epiphytic and switched to a medium mix of chopped spagnum, leaves, and bark. The roots since then have looked WAY better. The issue I’m facing now is the newest leaves look much paler than the old growth and haven’t gotten very big.
I feel like I’m missing something and could be improving her care. Any advice is appreciated :’)
Light: bright indirect light except in the afternoon it may be getting some sun.
Fertilizer: Tezula 12-1-1 for most of the month, Tezula 13-3-15 once a month, flush with plain water once a month.
Humidity: 70-85% right now
Other: just treated for thrips with beneficial bugs
This big girl is from the initial pink princess drop when they first entered chain stores :’) all the baby pp at the bottom are ones she’s grown. She occasionally sends out a big leaf with a little pink splash but for the most part I get these nice green leaves. Living her best life!
It seems like it’d be around 25-35?
I appreciate any insight, trying to let go of some plants locally since I have a vet bills and meds to pay off :’)
