Am I doing it correctly and is it worth it?

Am I doing it correctly and is it worthwhile?

These beauties arrived yesterday. I'm just waiting for another delivery, then both will be going on moss poles.

The Melanochrysum looks fairly straightforward, with loads of long aerial roots shooting I'm sure I'll be able to graft her to the pole guiding some of the roots inside to give her the best start.

The Billitiae looks like an alien compared to the tidy structure of Mel. Billy hasn't got a single aerial root going and the leaves shoot in chaotic, structureless directions! Which way should I pole her?

Any other advice for the care of these gorgeous things is more than welcome. 😊

I rescued this gorgeous girl from Tesco in February. She was on a coco pole, dessicated, dying and reduced to £3 with the ceramic pot, so I thought wth, lfg. After bringing her back to life and reaching the top of the coco, I did the rabbit hole research thing with SPG and decided to get a proper big boy moss pole. Imagine my shock on repotting day when I found there were actually 6 vines! So, I put three vines on two poles and here we are!

She has a few brown spots which I think are either shock or overwatering. Thoughts? I'm getting three new leaves per week, aerial roots are beginning to sink in deep

She's potted in a very chunky aroid mix and I'm watering once per week with fert. Some misting around the taped nodes to get those aerial roots embedded.

Any other advice or thoughts on anything I'm missing? I'll be getting clear pots next week and changing to those.

Due to a fault in the underground network. Should be back on by 03.30 am.

Just jaw dropping to see the boys play such a great set in a small tent. The (not so) secret special guests headlining the new JD Twitch Stage at Queen's Park Spring Weekender, to remember Keith who sadly died last year made the place go wild. Just amazing vibes. The whole day curated by Jonnie from Optimo, it was something special.
