Tent is kept at 80-90 F, 80-90% humidity, with airflow from an overhead fan. I water when the top of the soil looks dry, and added some extra fertilizer just in case it was nutrient lack. Any ideas of what it could be?
A flower from my Philodendron (Jungle Boogie I think?). Never had one!
Was given 10 supposed lvv, but came with 2 extra (more mature than the others), much like the other most recent flower, seems fricii. What do we think?
I have heard some people ask about culturing Lanmaoa asiatica, with responses along the lines of “it is mycorrhizal, so it can’t be cultured here outside its native environment.”
Would it be possible to keep one of its host species in a pot in a greenhouse, and inoculate the soil with spores?
Has this been done with other boletes?
I have now caught and released 5 of these bees trying to escape out my bedroom window. I have had the occasional wasp in my room but never a bee like this. I haven’t opened my window recently and there’s a bug screen. There’s no visible nest outside my window but I’m worried it might be in the wall. Is this a concern or just an unusual case of a gang of five bees wandering into a place they shouldn’t have? For reference, I live in a house in a neighborhood in the country. There is lots of wilderness around.
Any one else have this experience? When I try to visualize the apple I can barely recognize form and certainly not color, but if I imagine holding the apple and feeling its shape, suddenly it is quite clear (maybe not as clear as some people’s experience, but definitely enough to recognize it’s there). I have been a pianist from a young age, so I wonder if my visual and tactile senses have been intertwined from that.
I’m wanting to begin the perhaps arduous search for Lagochilus inebreiens seeds, but given the almost mystical rarity of the plant, I don’t want to find some seeds only to immediately kill the plants or fail to germinate the seeds altogether.
Any advice on growing conditions/difficulties? Anyone have experience growing that wants to persuade or dissuade me from giving it a go?
