Hey plant lovers! I’ve been searching for the alocasia Amazonia ā€˜bambino’ but could not find a legitimate seller! So, I went to perch (my favorite store) and saw a alocasia Polly which are VERY close to bambino! Perch never disappoints me. Here are some of the things I saw as well and wanted! For 72 dollars I saw a queen anthurium (A. Waroquenum) that was HUGE! I would have impulsively bought it ONLY if I didn’t know the problems with this plant (humidity, temp, etc.) which I do not have the perfect conditions. Saw a ROF philo and actually a couple, which they are cool! I love Jess’s (perches owner) pothos wall which never disappoints, and saw a cebu blue pothos but since it’s that silvery blue color that so many of my plants have I didnt buy. Ficus selection today was good, saw tineke Audrey and fiddle leaf which was cool! I saw a cool A. Magnificum x silver blush in the humidity box which was AWESOME but was 50 dollars ā˜ ļø in there saw a anthurium clarinervium which was 40 dollars not bad and a monstera Thai con which was 50, so not that bad. Saw a lot of singonuims and cathlea! I saw painted lady philodendron and tons more! That’s it for today, and stay tuned for tomorrow’s PLANT RANT! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #AlocasiaPolly #Anthurium #AnthuriumQueen #AnthuriumAssembly #AnthuriumMagnificum #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #RingofFirePhilodendron #PaintedLadyPhilodendron #PothosPack #PothosWater #Pothos #CebuBluePothos #Ficus #FiddleLeafFig #FicusGang #FicusFam #FicusTineke #FicusAudrey #Syngonium #SyngoniumSquad #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraMonday #monsterathaiconstellation

Hey I’m back with something cool! It’s Wednesday, and we are halfway through our week! Now it is time to decompress from all your worries and stress, for a new tag is here, #refreshwednesday! Honestly this tag is just to talk about plant related things to refresh and restart after half a week kind of just chill out? Y know. And now, How are you doing today, I’d really like to know! Honestly the week has been stressful with loads of work put on me 😄 but this community is all I need to make my day! Anyway, on to plant related things, have you heard about how to fix you’re spider plant? Last week I completely obliterated spider plants here on #PlantRant , but I just heard the ultimate way! I’ve heard water conditioners do the trick! I’m ordering some, that’s one worry to take off my list! So… miracle grow. Killer or just not great? Well it depends on the type! Sometimes different types affect different plants! and you know I should do a test on that 🧐🧐🧐! But main point: killer or just not the best choice? Well, I’m happy with either opinions, one might say it’s a killer, and while I don’t necessarily agree, we all can have different opinions! I think it’s good if your just starting, but in the long run, it’s not the best choice. All it does is speed up growth and make leaves flimsier. So, my answer? Yes and kind of no. Something cool about alocasias is when it’s wintery or cold, you don’t really have to worry about brown tips or dropping of leaves, because there’s usually 1-2 leaves. Since they are in dormancy, they’re saving energy! Just a little thing I like! For this one, I’d like your thoughts and opinions! What do you think is the most controversial plant? For me, I’d go cathlea. You either love them or hate them with a burning passion. It’s mostly for me, the spider mites. Their favorite plant to hitchhike on! What do you think šŸ¤” I’d like to know! And this is Luke signing off, have a great rest of your week, and stick around for… THE PLANT RANT!

Hey my good friends! It’s Sunday, and only in the 60’s today 🄶 the north sure is cold! But today is no ordinary day, no no no, not a brunch post, it’s a #PlantRant So, welcome to today’s PLANT RANT! Today we are talking about plants that don’t appeal to ME. I just want to make clear, your opinions are heard, I just dont like these plants, and don’t get them. First we got the whole genus of #Alocasia . I get the fact the leafs are cool, which sucks you in, that’s why Sammy is here… and they dont know how to care for it! Most new alo plant parents don’t know about #Dormancy . Which is why I generally stick to year round plants, because when fall hits, and the spooky season starts, until April there is no growth. In fact I was just talking to @mushroomprince yesterday about this dormancy. It’s very confusing, and most new plant parents to these plant gets dormancy confused with death. Until we as plant parents find a way to stop dormancy, I will not see the appeal. They do haves cool leaves, but they are just so hard. Not gonna lie, but I know @PoisedAlbo has a different story for alocasia, and she is GOOD at them. Like I said, stick to your roots. Next we got the #MonsteraAlbo , literally WHY would you spend hundreds of dollars for a plant with white variegation. And guess what? THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE PLANT DIES! Okay sorry… just had to get that out… But seriously, it’s insanity how the main purpose of this plant *to be a monstera deliciosa that’s variegated* doesn’t even work. When you get a little too much white, say GOODBYE TO THE YEARS GROWTH! Since monsteras take so long to grow, you only get one or two leaves at a time! And when the leaves dies because of the lack off chlorophyll, it’s just so unsatisfying. The whole reason for the plant to exist DOESNT WORK OUT!!!! It’s just a mess of a plant to care for. Thank you for watching the PLANT RANT THE PLACE TO RANT ABOUT PLANTS! And you too can put your plants you don’t care for in the comments! #AlocasiaAddicts #AlocasiaPolly #alocasias #Albo #Monstera #MonsteraAlbo Thanks for watching the #PlantRant !!!
