r/EmergingLeaves

My string of frogs was out growing my broke ass terrarium so I had to get it a home of its own! I had this cute clear glass candy dish(?) that I had originally picked up to use for a terrarium. That was YEARS ago now and that attempt failed. I decided to give it another go with these 2 cuties, and I absolutely adore it!! They didn’t miss a beat either! My little peacock fern is also doing lovely in here!! I built her a terrarium of her own for the mother plant and this baby will live its life here at least for now! There are so many new growth tips in here!! I’m so impressed! This froggy was grown from a wee vine of just 4-5 leaves! He’s so big now 🥹💕🌱

Got this bmf back in november and finally got my first fenestrated leaf. 4th pic is when i got it in nov.

I’m so impatient

It's been AGES since I last posted! AGES! I've wanted to sooo badly, but I had a bit of mental spell, followed immediately by my husband's spell, and THEN decided to sell our house at the same time/as a result. We came to realize we need a super drastic change to reset ourselves, so we embarked on a journey that has devoured all my time since the beginning of May - good news is we are under contract and due to close at the end of July, AND I am pretty sure I just found our new home, which has SOOOO much potential for my plant babies - so much natural light! They're going to really get a boost and THRIVE, and I just can't wait!

I'm looking forward to resuming THAT green journey with everyone again, because boy, I'm excited 😆 and I'm sorry I've been away as others have joined! I've been missing out!

1.) Impatiens (don't remember breed, but LOOK, she just started to bloom and is so pretty)

2.) Colocasia Pharaoh's Mask (newest leaf for me)

3.) Canna Gold Leopard (when I looked up a blooming one, I fell in love and scooped her up immediately)

4-5.) Alocasia Regal Shield (still growing and hardening off. 8 LEAVES, GUYS!)

6.) Philodendron Jose Buono (newest leaf is so unlike the rest - most leaves are green on green, but this one popped some beautiful white)

7.) Pothos Lemon Meringue (rescue. The person on FB marketplace left it out on her porche for pickup in 18°F temps, AND in the evening. I didn't realize she was going to do that. She declined within seconds. Her leaves drooped, I watched as she turned transparent in moments. Then brown splotches started appearing. In less than five minutes, all her leaves except for the bottom 2, were goners. When I got her home, I immediately chopped her back down to a firm nose and restarted her. I got my money back to say the least, but it was torture for that poor Pothos. She sprang back magnificently though)

8-9.) Alocasia Platinum, I think 🤔 (she's done very well since her chop/restart, and she had a corn sprout!)

10-11.) Pothos Marble Queen (she started developing more variegation!)

12-16.) Alocasia Longiloba (soooo much going on with her!!)

17-18.) Alocasia Frydek (so far my longest living one. I've lost 3. I really struggle, haha. But this one is doing great! That newest leaf is stellar)

19.) Alocasia Longiloba (grown from corm from the one with all the current corms/baby poppin')

20.) Plantlet Party 🥳 🎉 (mostly Alocasia, like Black Velvet, Azlanii, Green Unicorn, Melo, Morocco, Maharani, Polly, etc.)

He’s FINALLY got new growth!!! I couldn’t believe it this morning!!!!
