Picked this beauty up at PlantCon over the weekend and was told that it’s a Jungle Mint Monstera. I’ll admit, I don’t know much about them. I have a 6 year old regular monstera so this is new.

Bought it purely for the looks. How’d I do and is it really a Jungle Mint?

A few days ago I went pretty hardcore on plant chores in general but got a little chaotic chopping & propping my plants who needed it the most…like my dark form billie & my monstera albo…while in the midst of all I’d done the only solution was to order more plants while brainstorming my next move w the mess I created 🤣

I was pleasantly surprised to see the amazing condition these 2 arrived in 💚🤍 check out my new variegated billie & alocasia venom!! Both pushing new growth! W how hot it’s been I’m beyond pleased with how well they were packaged & handled the shipping process!!! still waiting on two other plant babies I ordered the same day lol

I do own a variegated billie but I fear it’s likely reverted. It was a low var. when I first got it, recently I chopped it in the hopes to bring back variegation. Waiting game now… In the meantime I wanted one w some actual variegation to start w! The venom I wasn’t necessarily shopping for but couldn’t pass up on the promo pricing offered & dang I’m glad I got her. She’s GORG!!!

Last picture was taken in July

I acclimated this tissue culture yesterday and today it looks like this. It stood for like 2-3 hours in the direct sun (there was a window between) because I underestimated the power of it 😭. The soil was warm when I touched it. Is it bcs of the heat or did I do something else wrong? Can I still rescue this tissue culture?

So this is a first for me. I was watering my P.Glorious and I found that the newest leaf looks like two leaves partially fused at the base! I'm fairly certain that the leaf didn't just split. Has this happened to anyone else before? Any way to encourage this leaf shape to grow consistently?

She is gorgeoussssssssss

She’s been grown like this for months now is it normal?

Tissue culture, 16 months old, 12 hours under 350ppfd light. One of my favorite aurea plants.

Found this gorgeous Burl Marx ‘Flame’ and this strange furry climbing plant today! Any help with IDing the one on the left would be greatly appreciated💖😆

Got it with root rot, had to restart everything from scratch but it's here, it's just gorgeous and... Kind of looks like a fake Instagram picture. Just wow (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)✧⁠*⁠。

But I'm so happy. Vietciosa - Jungle mint - Fishbone 💃

It took me about 2 years to figure this one out, but both mother and child are looking quite happy now.

Her leaf finally came through… I see no dark spots where chlorophyll would go… is my pink chan var. a no go? 😭😭😭😭 I waited so long
