The optimization experiment: attempting to grow a marble pothos as fast as possible. There are only 5 weeks between these two pictures!
Each moss pole section is 12" long, so it's easily growing over a foot per month. It's also broken apical dominance completely on its own and activated every growth point along the lower stems, forming *eight* new vines. I didn't add Keiki paste to do this, it's just loving it's conditions and going absolutely bonkers. Is getting 19 DLI via a 35W SANSI grow light, 7.5ml of Foliage Focus per liter of water, additional silica and CalMag, and increased air flow to the roots.
I think if I pushed this thing any faster it'd start eyeing up my pets as a potential source of nitrogen.
The latest leaf on my alocasia black velvet pink is divine!
I made this plant with SCIENCE! This is the first houseplant that I've cloned, grown, deflasked, and acclimated from my own tissue culture lab, and it's absolutely divine
Alocasia Sanderiana Bull Pink, and a highly variegated one at that. I'm so excited to watch it grow!

One year with my monstera albo cutting: how it started vs how it's going
I picked this shrimpy little albo cutting up at a plant swap a year ago last week. I've been carefully tending to her since then. She had to be restarted due to root rot about two months in but she managed to bounce back. Look at her now! She's my absolute favorite.
