I think these are two different types?

I had a few questions about the 3D printed planter my pings are in, so figured they deserved their own post.

They’re definitely sturdy and honestly I think pretty aesthetic, especially for plastic. The outer texture masks the filament layers really well. I use one style for my pings and one style for my snake plant cuttings (the only way I’ve progressed them to roots so far😂). Both are the large size and in the color black.

Here’s the Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BigShouldersNursery

PS: this is not my shop and I get nothing for making this post (aside from the joy of hopefully helping other ping parents!)

But hey seller, if you’re here, feel free to reach out for a collab😜 (jk I am not an influencer)

I’m failing with almost every houseplant I own but these babes are doing amazing😍
Purchased 4 pinguicula sethos from fb marketplace and first pic is where we are now! Other pics are the sad state they were in about 2 months ago

Does anyone know what ping this is, or at least know if it’s Mexican or tropical? I really only wanted the sundew but it came in a bundle so I’m hoping I can throw it in with my Mexican pings🙂

I’m failing with most of pothos and philodendrons but at least this beauty is thriving😍

I got her a little over a month ago and left her in her original soil, which I find holds a lot of water and is spongy - I know they like to be wet but it just seems a little compacted to me. I’ve only watered her twice since bringing her home and one of those times her topsoil wasn’t even dry yet. I’m typically a succulent/cactus mama so wet soil makes me irrationally nervous but I feel like there’s not enough air flow due to how long it takes to dry out. I have an African violet self watering pot I think would be perfect for her but don’t want to pull the trigger too quickly.

Picked her up about a month ago. Soil was staying way too wet so I moved her to a succulent mix last week (potting soil with pumice, course sand, and perlite additives), but now I’m reading they usually do better in a mix closer to aroid soil mix.

Do I repot her or just see how she does? My first Hoya so I’m invested lol

He passed away in November, but he’s so unique I wanted to share! I’ll post his breed mix in a few days or so. He was around 60lbs

I know she’s not a pearl and jade, but the 2 heart-shaped leaves are really throwing me off

I got some neglected water props from a friend. I should have taken a photo of the roots before placing these, but trust me when I say some of the pothos roots are over 2 feet long. I put them in a little fluval just to hold them down, figured I’d acclimate them to my lighting before I try repotting in soil.

How would you go about this? Should I do a semi hydro setup before going to aroid mix? Cut roots?

Thanks! Here are some cuttings in my thrifted containers for tax😍

Got some neglected water props from a friend, most of the pothos roots are over 2 ft long. I put them in water with some fluval covering the bottom quarter ish for now just to hold them in.

How can I acclimate these properly to an aroid mix? Should I do semi hydro first? Clip the roots?

First pic is June 9, others are today. I thought I scorched her but it seems to be getting worse even after moving her to lower light. Is it fungus? How to tell?

She is my first aroid so really out of my realm - but I have since bought others that are thriving.

My first philodendron - got her on fb marketplace for $2! (No idea if that’s a good deal but I’m happy about it🤣)

I’ve had a jumping spider living in my gas cap door for awhile now. I get gas maybe once a month. I noticed her last month and just apologized for disturbing her and went on my way. Honestly kind of forgot about her

Well today I had to get gas, I remembered she might be there and very gently opened the door and she came flying out and ran, leaving all these baby spoods behind. I hung around for like 10-15 minutes hoping I’d spot her trying to get back to them but to no avail. Can I do anything to help them?

I know we get lots of beach questions, so adding to the pile.

I have a 13 year old dog who’s never been to the beach. She’s mildly dog reactive (manageable but we can’t have off leash dogs running up on us, and if another dog is reactive she will just start with a high pitch bark that actually sets off the glass break detector on my security system and not stop until out of site). I’d really like to take her to a beach just for the experience, she recently started having seizures so we are doing some bucket list items.

She’s great with people but is there anywhere in the area that might be mostly dog free? We are on the west side but willing to drive a bit. Willing to break a “no dogs” rule if it’s likely there won’t be other people there that we’d bother.

PS she actually hates water, but I think she’d love rolling around in the sand😂

My pings were glistening, dewey, and sticky yesterday. I repotted them in a mix of pumice/pearlite with some long fibered sphagnum moss to help with moisture, and gently wrapped the roots in moss as well. Not even 24 hours later not only are they dry but the newest growth has burned tips. I only use rain water and distilled water. I haven’t misted them before but will that help? I have some hope left for 2 of them but the other two are looking extra rough now. I’m so upset!

I was thinking about trying to add more moss which is more similar to what they were in before but on the flip side thinking I should leave them alone and let them try to recover. Could also probably make a little humidity recovery tank. I just tend to do too much when usually I need to just leave it alone lol

Just got some pinguicula sethos a few weeks ago, left in original containers for now.

Main problem is that the leaves seem to be growing downwards and 2/4 of them now have airborne roots and topple out of their containers.

They sit in a tray of shallow distilled water and under a grow light 12 hours a day.

I want to repot them because we now have algae growth, but how do I manage the root issue?

Thank you!
