My first alocasia, does it mean anything when they form drops on their leaves?
Thanks!

I became obsessed with plants for like 2 weeks and acquired a bunch and have been struggling. I got thrips, continuing treatment but not seeing any. But now I’m seeing this new ailment. It has spread to my Pilea as well. It always seems to start at the tip of the leaf and spread upwards.

(Edit for clarification, thrips started in June after acquiring too many plants and not doing proper quarantine. After treating with bonide systemics and rotating between alcohol and captain jacks dead bug brew once a week, I haven’t seen any in about a month so far).

Is this a fungus? I’m been treating with copper fungicide now and it seems to be helping, plus cut off most of the affected leaves. I’ve been watering when the soil is about 75% dry.

I’m starting my beneficial bug journey over the winter, but how can I prevent fungus in the future? These plants are in a room with a fan always on, a weak grow light plus about 3-4 feet away from a window that gets pretty good dappled sun.

Clearance pothos - don’t mind her crowded with the others in quarantine. Went a little crazy on the clearance rack😂

Though I’m realizing some of it isn’t true driftwood because it’s not fully hardened. Safe to use in a bearded dragon enclosure? Any way to speed up the hardening process, or should I throw it back in the lake?

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🤣)
