First plant convention of the year! A tad small IMO in comparison to last year's one, but i still came home with some great stuff! The first thing i bought is this cute little Spathiphyllum. Not your regular PL btw. This is Spathiphyllum ivanportillae, which is a relatively new species from Ecuador. It's small and uniquely black, i love it. I don't care if i paid $35 for a PL. It's a special PL. The Spathiphyllum actually came with a stowaway vanilla orchid cutting. I've always wanted one but never wanted to pay for one [like what, ten bucks? Lol], so I'll gladly take it. Next is this Anthurium. It's a hoffmannii x forgetii 'Variegated'. I know it says variegated. But as we can see, variegation doesn't always translate in genetics. Still really pretty and a good size too for $15. Then this one is a personal guilty pleasure, but i still love it. The most expensive plant i've bought so far [$65], a Philodendron billietiae x mayoi! Gotta love the variegated hybrid philos, they're gorgeous 😍. And finally i brought back two more hoyas! For only $10! A bella 'Luis Bois' [inner variegated too i think] and a lacunosa! The lacunosa currently has a bloom, but i can barely detect a scent, so we'll see. The longest vine on the lacunosa is almost a meter 😱. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #NewPlants #RarePlants #Spathiphyllum #PeaceLily #Vanilla #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid #Anthurium #AnthuriumAssembly #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #PhiloAddict #rarephilodendrons #variegatedplants #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads

Alright, I’m trying to make some tough decisions. I have a few wishlist plants that I wanted to order, but I can only buy one or get multiple. What are your thoughts? I know it’s a personal choice, but I’ll post pictures and descriptions of the plants, and I’d love to hear your opinions on which ones you think would be worth it. Or, if you have a favorite, I’d love to know what it is. I’m going to break it down based on my budget. I’ll separate the total budget from the budget allocated for each plant. Haha, I hope I make sense. Oh, and I apologize for the late post. #wateringhole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #PlantShelfie #RarePlants @CutePolypremum @lifeis2short @AC73LoveCats @theloveofplants @ultrakoreanfir @ILoveMyPlants @TheOddAsity @SweetAzurebluet @Ninabeena @MariansOasis @Amateurbotany @Arid_oasis @Babevila @elisenavidad @FitBrowallia @JenniB81 @JenniferNoel @Michelle5986 @debbiedo @PrizedShadscale @planthoe40 @AmusingRedhill @Pineapplemom @Popcornjoness @idplantthat @craaa777 @preciousplants1 @TRose @AmyM @Motheroforchids @BuffCaperspurge @PrincessPitStop @Plants_Galore @Prentyce @PioneerRutabaga @blueberrypie @motheroforchids @refinedsandwort @elk @baobab_zig @dogs-equal-joy @littlesongbird @toounique1 @PHILO @dreammachine @ponytailmom @GreenPurpose @4leafbec @SunflowerSunset @Luckeecharm1 @IWantThatPlant @antsinurplants @mamalinne @jho @mtplantlady @stephonicle @shadowboxrbaby @TidyTigerpear @lucidagapanthus @forbes57 @HolyLacealoe @CactusAdjacent

Let's look at some unfurled leaves, coz lately my philodendrons are going crazy This first photo is of my Philodendron 'Red Congo Dwarf Mint'. This is a typical unfurling leaf of Philodendron erubescens and similar species. Reddish leaf, no sheath. This next photo is of my Philodendron 'Paraiso Verde', which essentially grows a new leaf every week. You'll notice with many climbing philodendrons that they will have a sheath as they grow from which the leaf emerges. In my Paraiso Verde at least, the sheath [sheath A] will not be disposed of until the next sheath [sheath B] starts to grow. After the leaf from sheath B starts too emerge will then sheath A be disposed of. You can see what i mean from this Philodendron 'Florida Beauty'. The sheath you see below the new growth is starting to become extremely loose. In some time, it'll be disposed of. You may however also notice the sheath here is mostly unraveled already—the sheath on my Paraiso Verde has yet to unravel, as i notice the sheath on my Paraiso Verde only fully unravels when the leaf has grown out of the sheath. On this next example of my Philodendron gloriosum 'Snow Leopard', the sheath is already dying as the leaf emerges. This is interesting as the sheath appears to only protect the growth when it initially emerges—once large enough, but still not open, the sheath is already of no significance to the plant. You'll usually notice high-degree of damage on plants like these in the wild. This last one is of my Philodendron tortum. In the photo you might notice, its similar to that to my 'Paraiso Verde' or my 'Florida Beauty'. The difference is that this leaf emerges from the side, rather than from the top. I do find this interesting, as it does leave the leaf more exposed to damage, but does mean the leaf can unravel faster. Mine is already starting to loosen up. All of this is based on what i observed coz of how my ADHD picks up the most random things and decides to info-dump with almost every social interaction, so i might be wrong on some of this. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #RarePlants #rarephilodendrons #PlantInfo #ADHDPLANTLOVERS
