#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

Good morning☕️🌞to #TheThread WAKE UP🥱 Sleepy heads! Your missing the WEEKEND😱! Ive been up a couple hours drinking coffee on the porch. Its a littlke breezy for the fire but thats ok since its 69 degrees out this morning😍. Ive really just spent it googling and googling and goigling some MORE! About whats going on with these hoyas😤. When i went to bed last night my plan was start repotting all of the ones that are a year or less old this morning. But after sleeping in it and more research this morning i think ive decided that ill just repot the 4" ones but anything bigger im going to try giving a couple good flushes of clean tap water. So now the science/ thinking.... i started using distilled water for my hoyas about the time this happened. I dont think it was the water but my watering habits being a factor in this. When i started using distilled water i also started bottom watering plants to conserve water since it can be costly. That also meant that i wasnt changing my water each time i put new plants into the tub of distilled water. I actually did question this habit especially at first cause the water did get really dark and brown fast! Long story i know but basically i think ive got salt and mineral build up causing nutrient lockout. Ofc repotting is prob the best option and then i can just soak and flush all this old media for reuse. But thats alot of work if i do the bigger pots. 4" pots are super easy and fast with small roots easy to clean off etc. Bigger plants not so much🤷‍♂️! Ramble ramble😂😂 i know. Anyway ill keep you all posted ofc👍. I loved ALL the great pics from yesterday😍. There were some great finds and awesome looking plants in there 🙌! NOOB MISTAKE😂 i saved the pics to my ipad but typed this on my phone!😤 guess your going to get some reference pics this morning and ill add our #TheThread photos from yesteday to the tags. SORRY GUYS🙏 have a great day and STAY SAFE🥰! 🙏 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #GregPlantShop #GregGang #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads #Philodendron #Monstera

Obviously we got the SNAKE PLANT! I’ve only watered this guy 5 TIMES THIS YEARRRR!!!! Tho does not respond well to being overwatered!! if you are one of those plant parents that just overwater EVERYTHING be careful but honestly it’s not really that bad! Next we got the BRASIL! and maybe I’m a bit biased for gods sake my name IS PHILOOOOO. The philo brasil is variegated but don’t worry, it’s not like other plants that have to have sun to variegate! IM LOOKING AT YOU POTHOS! HAD TO PUT YOU RIGHT AGAINST THE WINDOW FOR ONE VARIGATED LEAF!!! This diva variegates no matter what. The only flaw with plant is a philo flaw in general which is they need so many pots. LIKE I NEED SO MANY POTS. It’s really amazing how many pots they need… Next is just ficus in general, GOOD BOY! NEVER BAD! I LOVE THE LEAVES! I HAVE THREE AND I LOVE THEM!!! I just got one… YESTERDAY! Maybe I’ll not be philo and be FICUS!!! Next is the ZZ PLANT MY WONDERFUL CC OMG BUTIFUL! AND I KNOW I SPELLED THAT WRONG THATS BEAcAUSE SHES SO BEAUTIFUL! LITERALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE ITS INCREDIBLE! Next we have the POTHOS! I was considering NOT putting this on here because it’s SO overused but I mean cmon, please. She is like literally not even A PLANT at this point. SO HUGE OMGGGG!!! Now I don’t have this yet, but I’m looking at it, the Hoya! LITERALLY DONT HAVE TO GIVE THIS PLANT A GALACTIC AMOUNT OF FERTILIZER JUST TP BLOOM!!! ALSO SUPER EASY JUST DO THE TACO TRICK! JUST BEND THE LEAF! If it folds, water time! But if it’s firm, NEGLECT TIME! THIS HOYA IS LITERALLY A GEN X KID OH MY GOSHHH!!! Next is the philodendron BILLAE! IM LOVING IT LIKE MICCY D’S!!! GOT IT 4 FREE AT MY FAVORITE STORE! SUPER SLOW GROWER, GO TO HER FRIEND, BRASIL, FOR A FAST ONE! BUT A NEW LEAFY IS DEFO A FLEX!
