To chop or not

I got this Begonia Darthvaderiana ‘Green Spots’ a week ago. Right now I have her acclimating in a terrarium enclosure around 90% humidity. She will eventually be transplanted into the same terrarium but it will be a complete terrarium.

Is it okay to chop the biggest leaf off for the sake of space?? Or will that piss her off.

What’s going on with my begonia?

My begonia white ice, I noticed today had crazy stippling/spots on a bunch of the leaves (which I snipped off). What could it be??
I don’t see any webbing or any little bugs around the petioles, veins, underside of the leaves etc. I stared at this plant for a good 45 minutes. Could it be spider mites?? Watering issue? I did notice she was dropping off older leaves but she has no issue growth wise.

I keep her in a grow cabinet, 14 hours of light from grow lights, 60-70% humidity, I water her about every 3-4 days.

Are these thrips or springtails??

Are these thrips or springtails?? Found these buggers under a dying leaf on my Hoya. There were plenty tiny ones, white, crawling around in the soil.
The ones in the soil are very quick moving. No flying & don’t notice any jumping going on.
(fox farm happy frog, orchid bark, perlite).
All the other plants near her don’t seem to have them (after almost an hour of staring at each leaf & in the soil)

Geographical location: I’m in Philadelphia.

Is she ready to be staked yet??

I am new to monsteras, this being my first! (Grown from Tissue Culture)
Is she ready to be staked yet or should I wait till she’s taller?? I see one thick root growing from the main stem already but idk. Any advice would be truly appreciated!!

First time repotting a succulent..

So this is my first time ever repotting a succulent, burros tail (what a horrifying experience). Does she look okay?? Did I do okay?? Any advice or changes I should make?? I potted her this way specifically because I’d prefer her to drape/trail over one side (that’s how she also looked in the original nursery pot)

I used a %50 soil %50 grit mix
Soil: Fox Farm Happy Frog
Grit mix: Red lava rock, Black lava rock, Green zeolite, and Maifanitum (the soil also had plenty of perlite premixed into it)

I usually only grow aroids and Hoyas so I’m very ignorant about succulents so any advice is appreciated!!

Is this sport variegation on my Venom??

Hey gang!! Newest leaf on my Venom looked weird. Was wondering if it was like a sport variegation or just leaf damage?? Tissue culture grown.

Are these cuttings ready to be potted yet?? Each cutting has new active leaf growth.
Also should I pot them together (3 cuttings) or separately??

I’ve been propagating this cutting in water for some time. Is it ready to be potted up yet or should I wait?? It grew two new leaves and one more is on the way!
