About Doctor Oje
Did you know that all plants in the Ficus genus produce figs? In fact, the word Ficus quite literally means figs! Even cooler, all figs are pollinated by tiny wasps that use the fruits as a safe place to raise their young. š Ficus plants also contain latex which emerges as a milky sap when twigs are broken. This latex makes them toxic, so be sure to keep a close eye out if you have children or pets!

Hey plant lovers! Well itās Sunday, my least favorite day cause itās just Monday in disguise, but waitā¦ did I say itās, SUNDAY? WELCOME TO THE PLANT RANT THE PLACE TO RANT ABOUT PLANTS! Todayās 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 Iām very happy about this, but quick question? HOW DID HE GET THAT LEAF? No I donāt live in Australia I live in America, and itās COLD in Pennsylvania my question is HOW did he do that? Ok so propagating, love it as a whole, but these days thereās 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 youāre good to go! You donāt need to waist your money on ārooting 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 theyāll 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 donāt 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 donāt do that? They double down with fussiness. I canāt tell you HOW MANY CHOPSTICKS Iāve had to use for my philodendron, and Iām calling you out silver, over the summer she ripped herself out of her pot and we had to water prop her! It so far hasnāt been an easy task to do, but we had to push on with it! Silvers never the same, her leaves are curly and she hasnāt grown in 2 months. Iām pretty certain I might be done with having a plant that grows slower than a Hoya kerii. Well thatās it for today, bye guys! #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #AlocasiaSilverDragon #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #Ficus #FicusGang #FicusFam #ficusfriday #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #philodendronsilversword #NotSoHappyPlants

Hey plant lovers! Iāve been searching for the alocasia Amazonia ābambinoā but could not find a legitimate seller! So, I went to perch (my favorite store) and saw a alocasia Polly which are VERY close to bambino! Perch never disappoints me. Here are some of the things I saw as well and wanted! For 72 dollars I saw a queen anthurium (A. Waroquenum) that was HUGE! I would have impulsively bought it ONLY if I didnāt know the problems with this plant (humidity, temp, etc.) which I do not have the perfect conditions. Saw a ROF philo and actually a couple, which they are cool! I love Jessās (perches owner) pothos wall which never disappoints, and saw a cebu blue pothos but since itās that silvery blue color that so many of my plants have I didnt buy. Ficus selection today was good, saw tineke Audrey and fiddle leaf which was cool! I saw a cool A. Magnificum x silver blush in the humidity box which was AWESOME but was 50 dollars ā ļø in there saw a anthurium clarinervium which was 40 dollars not bad and a monstera Thai con which was 50, so not that bad. Saw a lot of singonuims and cathlea! I saw painted lady philodendron and tons more! Thatās it for today, and stay tuned for tomorrowās PLANT RANT! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #AlocasiaPolly #Anthurium #AnthuriumQueen #AnthuriumAssembly #AnthuriumMagnificum #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #RingofFirePhilodendron #PaintedLadyPhilodendron #PothosPack #PothosWater #Pothos #CebuBluePothos #Ficus #FiddleLeafFig #FicusGang #FicusFam #FicusTineke #FicusAudrey #Syngonium #SyngoniumSquad #Monstera #MonsteraMob #MonsteraMonday #monsterathaiconstellation

My ficus is loosing a lot of leavesā¦ always keep it inside and it was doing really well but now leaves get yellow and fall. The only recent change was I added a plant light for the fall/ winterā¦ could it be at the root cause? #Ficus

Help! #HappyPlants #Ficus #PlantTherapy #TheThread #help My ficuses leaves are turning yellow. Is this normal? Iāve had her for a long time and I donāt remember her doing this.

What kind of fertilizer do I use for a Brown Turkey Fig? #Ficus
-
Is it normal for them to lose a bunch of their leaves at once and then regrow new ones? Or did I just narrowly avoid killing my poor plant? #Ficus

Good morning #TheWateringHole plant friends! šŖ“ š±. Itās Tuesday and a chilly 45 degrees here right nowš„¶ but sunās out so things will warm up soon! Pearl š has the right idea āļø! A few things going on. The ficus had very dusty leaves so got a full shower outside while the afternoon sunshine warmed him up. Love how green and glossy they get š„°. My Hope peperomia longest tendrils are yellowing at the top so I cut them back to see if we can direct the energy closer and not going down 3 foot vines, fingers crossed š¤ Here are her cuttings. I havenāt water propped Hope peperomia before. Is it pretty successful or is there a way youāve found better?? Whatās happening in your oasis? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PropagationStation #PetsAndPlants #Peperomia #Ficus

#RubberPlant #RubberPlant #Ficus #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy need advise. I have two burgundy rubber plants and if you check out my oasis they are TALL. I got them as the initial plants when I started my journey (around a year or so ago). They are so top heavy, the one tries to topple. Etc. now I know I am supposed to prune them etc but quite honestly Iām apprehensive (aka scared) to cut them down. I mean, they are TALL. Now I know better when I get future ones to prune them down. Anyway, I would love personal experience on pruning and propping rubber plants. They were my first babies and I donāt want to kill them. Thank you in advance.
