Alocasia

New plants! Got them from a mini-convention that my local authorities hold quarter-yearly. Alocasia 'Venom'. Plant rose quite quickly in popularity last year as part of the Alocasia sub-mania. Luckily for me tissue cultures made it quite quickly mass propagated this i was able to snag this for $15. Tbh i initially didn't like it when it first came out, i wasn't too particular to silvery plants. But i think the leaf shape is unique, the tip is spiralled and the edges undulated in well-grown specimens, kinda grew on me as i started seeing more online. Alocasia azlanii. If you ask me what my favourite Alocasia would be, it'd go to the cuprea varieties. Azlanii is remarkably similar but has more colour compared to cuprea. Favourite will always be a cuprea 'Latte' [strong wishlist contender], but i'll enjoy an azlanii for now. Spent $8 for this alongside the Venom. Schismatoglottis sp. 'Aurea', not exactly sure on the ID apart from it being an Aurea variegation of a Schismatoglottis. Not a wallisii, not a calpytrata, not a prietoi and not a roseospatha. There's virtually no defining factors. Really stumped on this one. $5. Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' x mayoi [called a Floyoi]. The Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' hybrids were crazy popular anongst Philo enthusiasts, i got this small cutting on a small discount coz the seller was an outdoor teacher and i was a student. Gave it to me for $18. Same seller as the Floyoi, Monstera 'Burle Marx's Flame'. I know yall in the US been getting loads of BM Flames from Costa Farms. Finally got meself one. This one i got for $10 from the original $18. I do say the roots on this cutting were hella long. Literally was wrestling it onto the pol and into the pot. But i finally got it! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #NewPlants #NewPlant #RarePlants #variegatedplants #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #rarephilodendrons #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraMonday

#NewPlants! 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. I got a rotundifolia, a burmannii and one i forgot. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewPlants #RarePlants #variegatedplants #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #PhilodendronGloriosum #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraMonday #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid #VandaFalcata #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #CarniverousPlants #Carnivorous #Drosera #Sundew #TheThread #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #PhilodendronMicans #Micans
