Pretty Princess on the other hand is not doing so well in this mixed weather we are having drop almost all her leaves but making babies leaves because I was going to dump her. I just watered today from last week because of the change in weather here want to give her time to get dry but not totally bone dry #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NotSoHappyPlants #GregGang #Greggers #GreggersSupportingGreggers

Hey plant lovers! Well itā€™s Sunday, my least favorite day cause itā€™s just Monday in disguise, but waitā€¦ did I say itā€™s, SUNDAY? WELCOME TO THE PLANT RANT THE PLACE TO RANT ABOUT PLANTS! Todayā€™s topic: plants that confuse me or plant things that confuse me. Ok so alocasia, already confusing but some strange happened yesterdayā€¦ so I was checking all my plants when I saw Sammy, my silver dragon alocasia who has been dormant SINCE SEPTEMBER. I looked around at him and dusted his leaves for any pests (just in case) and saw the back of his stem was chunky, curious I looked to see what it was, and guess what it was. A NEW LEAF! Ok so Iā€™m very happy about this, but quick question? HOW DID HE GET THAT LEAF? No I donā€™t live in Australia I live in America, and itā€™s COLD in Pennsylvania my question is HOW did he do that? Ok so propagating, love it as a whole, but these days thereā€™s so much propagating propaganda out on the web that say you NEED to do this or your cuttings will die. For example, rooting helpers are just useless. Do they speed up your growth? Maybe. Do they make the chance of a cutting to die off 0%? No! Because as long as you have aerial roots and part of a stem youā€™re good to go! You donā€™t need to waist your money on ā€˜rooting helpersā€™ you can just get the same thing with scissors and water. Next ficus trees. Why do they eternally grow upwards! Why do we have to keep training them to be bushy? I swear every time I think the ficus on YouTube videos will be as bushy in real life, cause I no theyā€™ll not! You have to cut it, and then you have two plants you have to deal with! It also releases a sap called ficusin which if swallowed, can cause swelling of the mouth or almost be fatal! So donā€™t let your pets around your fiddle leaf fig, they could wreak havoc on their life! If you know philodendron, you know that they need a pole of some sorts, and donā€™t do that? They double down with fussiness. I canā€™t tell you HOW MANY CHOPSTICKS Iā€™ve had to use for my philodendron, and Iā€™m calling you out silver, over the summer she ripped herself out of her pot and we had to water prop her! It so far hasnā€™t been an easy task to do, but we had to push on with it! Silvers never the same, her leaves are curly and she hasnā€™t grown in 2 months. Iā€™m pretty certain I might be done with having a plant that grows slower than a Hoya kerii. Well thatā€™s it for today, bye guys! #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #AlocasiaSilverDragon #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #Ficus #FicusGang #FicusFam #ficusfriday #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #philodendronsilversword #NotSoHappyPlants

šŸ¤¬ this weekend took a turn before it began. Was doing some plant chores and finally got around to taking a look at the rootless oncidium my mother brought me a few weeks ago for rehab. Very, very shriveled PBs, but hey, it had been rootless for months, so that would be normal. I saw nothing pesky pest-y moving in those weeks, so I a few days ago I moved it to better light (i.e. into my plant heaven), only haphazardly disinfected the humidity box it was in... and only just now took a closer look. Cut into the rhyzome and ... fusarium? Are you kidding me? And the plant had been basically everywhere in my apartment. The box it was in now houses next to 20 new and vulnerable hoya props, some relatively valuable. šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬ if ever there was a time to curse and ask for crossed fingers... this is it. I just took a pause dealing with this mess to share because I'm so overwrought and overwhelmed. Last time something similar happened, a similar fungus took next to all my orchids in the course of just a few weeks after I noticed it. I can't believe something like this is happening again. #orchidlovers #notsohappyplants #hoyahangout #sickplants
