So my mom is a bit or a barbarian (she’s not!! Jk!!). She’s cross planted a few plants I’m I’m just like 🤯. Knowing her, which I do, she probably ran out of pots and stuck cuttings wherever lol. Some plants also are in like a cement mix to the naked eye!! She’s very aloof like that ❤️❤️❤️. So I’m trying to help with a bit of the messiness. Propagate what I can, take plants out of the shades, pull some back, etc.

I’m no expert, but I know what I know. And chat gpt doesn’t know anything. It actually accused me of factchecking when it said one plant was a stromanthe tricolor when it’s clearly not. (Pic #6)

Sorry. Moms in the Dominican Republic

I bought 2 alocasias last month. My first 2. I usually dabble in the smaller plant genre. And I totally didn’t even like alocasias. But out of no where I just started liking and wanting one (some). She’s very self sufficient. I haven’t spent a lot of time researching her but since everything is going great, I’m just gonna let her rock! She started with 6 leaves and now has 9! I’d hate to jinx her. But I can’t hold in my excitement!!!!

My bambino makes a new third leaf but seems to fire one lol. We’ll get there. 🥹

Could she be further along? Probably. But I’m happy with her. One of the prettiest girl!

Ignore the sustee stick!!

I have what seems like a new stem but it’s growing pretty close to the other stem!!! It’s about a centimeter away from the other stems!!! What should I do? Am I gonna have to unbury it and try to separate the baby from mother??? What do I do?

My maranta got infected. I think I caught it early, not that that matters! But those crevices are what scare me. U know there are a handful of families living in there. This is only my second re-treat but i already feel defeated. It’s not the puffy mealies. It’s the teenie ones u can actually see moving.

My plant is in pon if that helps.

I hope someone can help me eliminate these.

I bought the IKEA
olivbald thinking it could fit the plants in my cabinet. Silly me. Stand said something like it could hold 6 and under plants. I fit in about 12!

But I’m an old cat. I just wanna lay on box bed, maybe fall asleep… It also did take me 30mins to complete it. Says I gotta figure it out.

Ignore the dying frittonia room mate. I messed up her watering and she hasn’t forgave me.

I love her 😍

Oddly enough, I didn’t take individual pics of my plants!!! So we got… from left to right - Fittonia, Dieffenbachia camilla, and tropical tapestry KuraKura. The kura kura is so weird and cool! Leaves are huge. I’ve never seen this plant before but I think I lucked out! It’s a very attractive plant!! I will post headshots soon!!

Hi all. I’m learning and working this out in real time so please bear with me!! And sorry, my cat keeps photo bombing.

So I got this frydek last week. One of my first alocasia. I also got a bambino I just repotted into pon. So today is officially plant day (which is no different than any other days lol). I didn’t notice there were a few plants in the pot and I didn’t notice how many furled leaves she has. She’s pushed 3 new leaves!!!! In a week! I know this won’t always be the case but is that ok? She’s in a 6” nursery pot. I want to repot her in some chunkier mix (tropical soil mix, orchid bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice, charcoal, worm castings, and I think that’s it). Should I divide the plant up? Does my mix sound ok?

Hi all. I’m new to Alocasia’s so I don’t know what I’m doing with it and if it’s truly ok. All immediate signs point to yes, it’s perfect. It’s deep green, super velvety. Very clean under the leaves. Strong. All good right???

If only. It has this sort of build up on it. It was watered when I got it (literally guy was watering alllllll of the plants) and our water isn’t completely hard. It’s almost as if it was so dusty, watered but not cleaned off, so it dried weird??? I say this cause my place is exaggeratedly dusty so I’ve seen what happens when leaves aren’t wiped clean. Especially on velvety plants (like a maranta).

The plant is so spotless otherwise. New leaf unfurled undamaged. Doesn’t look like any pest I’ve dealt with. But in so concerned and scared to know if it’s a bad sign :-(.

Please help??

Gratuitous cat love last picture ♥️

I’m waiting on soil amendments so don’t judge the soil. But this is my new lil ‘mostly aroid’ nook. I can’t stop staring. I have a couple other big plants (Thai Con and Xanthosoma) I’m gonna add in a few days. Just also have to find a bigger light and the best way to accommodate all of them!!

Wish me luck!

Hey. Just picked this one up. I’d like to know how to care for it. His name is Creeper. My son named him, obs lol.

Anyone know what kinda aglaonema this is??

I guess I just got tired of small leaves. I use to think these plants were so ugly and now I’m just in love 😻. Im reading up everything I can about these. But if there’s a hack or something someone has discovered, I’m open to all of it and any advice!

Thank you ♥️

1st picture is after I cleaned up my watermelon. All I did was trim around the ugly parts. I still don’t want to chop the over leaning stems. Going in stages. But this is a big step for me!!! Lol.

I had a lot of damage from inconsistent/ water dumping and from grow light. After it looking despicable, I finally started caring for her. And after much debate, I’m starting to trim her up to get her summer ready!

I like the pattern. But upon inspection it has a mealy bug. I fcking hate those things!! But I like this pattern! Will I end up paying the piper for my egregious act??!? Right, she’s pretty??? Don’t even know what it is :—

I have a Ginny/ Jelly/ tricolor (whatever) Peperomia. I used to really not like it cause the top leaves were so big! Now she looks a bit better, tho she’s top heavy. I guess I kinda understand now why! So it’s only been about 2 weeks and roots are pushing out. Roots look dirty bc as u can see from my surrounding, I’m bad at this lol. So there’s dirt right now that I just cleaned off.

So. Are we ready for soil or give it more time?

I saw this plant in my usual walk. I used to take this route a couple days a week. Now I walk this way everyday. I’ve never seen this plant EVER and trust me, this area doesn’t get refreshed. But just like that! One day, it appeared. I doubt it grew in since there is mulch…

My phone keeps saying it’s corn. Yea, ok! Flowers look like a Cala Lilly but I’ve never seen one like this I guess. It looks so healthy. So lush. This is very pretty!!!!

I feel like this photo doesn’t do it justice!

After a small over watering event and here we are. I hope we get some good trailing at some point 😬

And so are her offsprings!! Albo??? Flaming??? Burgundy?! Get it together!!! When I got her, I never imagined all these colors could live in one plant!!

Ps, I started propping Baby about 2 months ago. I felt doomed when a few people suggested root rot and said it wouldn’t be successful. I kept on caring for her. Put her under brighter light. As of about 10 days, now there’s movement! She’s spitting out leaves every 2 days!!! ❤️❤️🩷🩷. All the new leaves are shades of pink. Could I be any luckier 🍀?!
