Decarya madagascariensis - I’m a sucker for succulent plants from Madagascar and been trying to get my hands on this beauty for a while, even prettier in person!

Aloidendron barberae - I’ve been eying a very mature specimen at the nursery I work at, but for a 2000 euros price tag it was too scary for me, finally managed to find a young one!

Lophocereus schottii f. monstrosus - I’m a sucker for sculptural and monstrouse cacti this is the perfect combination of both.

Stenocereus beneckei - Unfortunately my cactus dealer has removed most of the farina while watering (crime against plants) I hope it grows a thick waxy farina from now on!

Went to the Seattle PlantCon and found some awesome Huperzias! 🌱 I don’t often see these and the last post about them was a few years ago. I got them from Tropical Exotique.

Huperzia squarrosa
Huperzia nummulariifolia
Huperzia coralia ‘Dragon Necklace’
Huperzia filiformis ‘Blue Kai’

Has anybody ever gotten plants from them? They have their own website and I also found them through eBay.

Just showing off this baby. Someone on a different subreddit told me about the llano carti relationship and that makes it 10X harder for me to have this on auction on Palmstreet. I love a plant with interesting history. I'm a bit nerdy I guess but this one is hard for me to let go of. Maybe if she doesn't hit the reserve price I'll just keep her. 😅

Does anyone know how much a variegated BMF would sell for? It’s a mature plant and the variegation isn’t crazy, but there nonetheless. I couldn’t find any for sale so I am not sure how much I should price it at. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've been looking for an impatien morser or velvet love for a while and can not locate one in the US. Anyone have one they can share? 🥹

My Monkey tail cactus has been growing leggy ever since I got it (last fall) it’s been doing well since I put it outside (at the start of summer). But it still has leggy parts on the plant, from when it was growing indoors, under grow lights. Is there a way to “thicken up the leggy parts? Or is it just stuck like that? Should I cut off the leggy parts, and if so then when (now, or at the start of the next growing season)? And can I prevent this from happening again (do I need stronger lights or can I make it go dormant over fall and winter). Please help me or great cactus growers!

I absolutely love this begonia. I plan on restaking to help with the airflow around the canes.

Any advice on care for it? I'm growing it a few miles from the coast, indoors away from the window in a West facing room. And the room is fairly humid since it's my plant room but I can always supplement that.

Just sharing because I’m excited about my new find

I love the Gloriosum. It’s been BLOWING UP

I’m new to this, but I know that monsteras have become increasingly popular so I’m not sure if this is special anymore due to the large production.

A quick Google search said something about the stems being half white and half green is good?

This plant is $14.99 Canadian
