Every quarter-year, the local garden authorities hold a small event that essentially acts as a convention. Great for local nurseries and hobbyists alike. This is what i got for the last event of the year! Philodendron gloriosum 'Leopard', $8. Like a regular gloriosum but spotted! Hoya 'Rebecca', $10. My first PROPER Hoya! Flowers smell lovely, like jasmine. Monstera 'Silver Star', $15 [negotiated $14 coz i was a dollar short XP] Itty bitty baby, i actually went in and told myself, NO MONSTERAS XD. But i couldn't resist this little fella, according to seller it's essentially a more stable 'White Monster' [basically, instead of the variegation fading as the leaf ages like in 'White Monster', 'Silver Star' retains the minty variegation. It differs from 'Full Mint' by the greenish center]. Vanda [Neofinetia] falcata, $30. This was my most expensive buy tday [most of my buys max out at $30 lol], i was torn between this and a nice specimen of Phalaenopsis equestris. But i've wanted to try my hand at a Neofinetia since forever so here we are. No means any of the fancy japanese varieties, but for 4 fans and a few blooms i think it's worth it. Three Drosera, 3 for $10 Sundew sale! 3 Droseras for $10. There were only three species available for sale anyways. The rest were VFTs and an unidentified ping.

It also hasn’t sprouted any new leaves, I know they take a while to grow but you can’t even see the start of a leaf. It’s also in the same lighting and watering routine that our old one thrived in. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid 2 1 Comments @MariansOasis · 1M Good morning #brunchataudreys friends! Cool & cloudy here today with a chance of rain from Tropical storm 🌀 Priscilla down in Baja California 🌧️. Unlikely but fingers crossed 🤞 we can get a little bit for the outdoor plants 🪴 🌺🌲🌿 For those of you with orchids, which ones do you water all over 💦 🚿 ? And, phalaenopsis aside because we know to NEVER water their 👑, which others do you not water from above. I’m careful with all except this oncidium - she gets a full showering 🚿☺️. And my outdoor cymbidium and Maxillaria can get a heavy misting from above. On another note got my plants into the Halloween 🎃 mood last night 👻 Do you decorate any of your plants? 🎃👻💀😈🧌🧟♀️👻🎃 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #HalloweenDecor 10 35 Comments @Araceae · 1M I don't post often, but i just wanna share some new growths i thot was cute :3 1. Phalaenopsis Mituo Reflex Dragon 'Blue-2' [AM/AOS] x Happy Camper 'Blue'. Newest leaf is a large one! AND it still hasn't hardened fully yet 2. Homalomena sp. 'Silver Red'. First leaf since i got it just 2 weeks ago! AND it has a bloom popping! Although I'm suspicious over how it looks, dunno whether brown tips is good [Tip: for those using aquasoil, or as you call it Fluval Stratum, try crushing it or get the powdered form. It holds water better, but still retains the same quality as the granules. Holds onto cuttings better too] 3. Bucephalandra 'Brownie Ghost' babies. They grow sooo slowlybut these babies are growing fast! They've got a bit of a sparkle which is nice 4. Nepenthes 'Viking' x veitchii 'Bario' baby. Fresh pitchers from seedlings are the most precious to me! 5. Baby Heartleaf and Anthurium! The Heartleaf was a single-leaf w/ node cutting from a mature vine. The Anthurium a pup i proplifted [shhh!] Got more coming up in comments give me a while #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #babyplants #PhalaenopsisOrchid #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid #Homalomena #RarePlants #AquaticPlants #Nepenthes #PitcherPlant #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #HeartleafPhilodendron #Anthurium #AnthuriumAssembly #Propagation #proplifter #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #Scindapsus 18 10 Comments @MariansOasis · 2M So excited to see a bud on orchid Rby.

Common belief is that, the chlorines [and chloramines] in tap water will kill plants. If that's so, all my plants would've died by now. I'm using straight from the tap, average levels abt 2.27ppm with range from 1.34—2.86ppm. I water EVERYTHING with this. Alocasia, seedlings, Philos, Monstera, orchids, Nepenthes, cactus, Anthurium even the random cups of aquatic plants i have. Truth is, WHO's guidelines of 5ppm in chlorine levels is far below the tolerable levels of 100—150ppm for most ornamentals. Sure, plants like Begonia or Geraniums, their growth slows at 2ppm [doesn't mean that they die], but overall 5ppm is quite okay. In the US it's only 4ppm at most too. Some chlorine is needed by plants for basic functions, like nutrient uptake or leaf turgidity. It is important to understand that, the chlorine itself won't kill your plants, unless allowed to build up [by then it's probably repot time for healthy plants]. What DOES kill plants is the overdose of heavy metals in many tap water. Mainly the ones to look out for are Cadmium [Cd], Chromium [Cr], Lead [Pb], Arsenic [Ar], Mercury [Hg], Copper [Cu], Iron [Fe], Manganese [Mn], Molybdenum [Mo], Nickel [Ni] and Zinc [Zn]. The last 6 are micro elements that are needed in small quantities by plants, take note of the following levels at which these elements are required: • Cu: 5-20ppm • Fe: [quite varied, the internet is very divided over this. Some say a range of 2-3ppm, some >4.5-5ppm, some 10-20ppm, even down to 0.1-0.5ppm. Really, just monitor for iron deficiency or overdose symptoms] • Mn: 15-20ppm • Mo: 0.1-1ppm • Ni: [again, very divided. There's as low as 0.03-0.06ppm to 100ppm. But really, nickel isn't normally a huge concern] • Zn: 0.5-10ppm The remaining [Cd, Cr, Pb, Ar, Hg] should be close to zero anyways, it's WHO's guidelines. Anyways if the levels in your tap water for these elements are too high, you may have problems. Same with well water. Should you have these issues, use a distiller, RO unit or water conditioner that removes heavy metals [such as API Aqua Essential or Seachem Prime]. These are usually able to be bought by the gallon online, and will last you for a long time. Also, a word on water softeners. If you have water softeners installed, PLEASE use a distiller or RO unit. Water softeners utilises Sodium or Potassium compounds to bind with hard minerals. These ions can build up in soil, leading to dehydration as they'll interfere with the plant's ability to take up water and other nutrients. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #WateringWednesday #PlantLove #plantproper #TropicalPlants #AquaticPlants #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #Monstera #MonsteraMob #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid #Nepenthes #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #cacticollect #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #Anthurium #GregGang #Greggers #GregFam #PlantInfo #PlantFactNOW 11 27 Comments @NotableTeatree · 3M I’m new to orchids and have a couple of questions.

Also, I’ve heard conflicting information about repotting my plant right now. Is there a specific time of year or growth stage that’s best? I’d love to move them to their own pot if possible.
