Happy Wednesday at #TheWateringHole my lovely plant peop...

Happy Wednesday at #TheWateringHole my lovely plant people ๐Ÿค๐ŸŒฟ The last few days have been quite hot, so I am actually so thankful to see that starting tomorrow it looks like weโ€™re due for almost a week of rain ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ ๐Ÿ™Œ I have not done any laundry, or much else around the house because of the heat. ๐Ÿฅต I have spent some time checking on my cucumeris mites though ๐Ÿค“ I just love them.

Itโ€™s supposed to be less than 90ยฐF/32ยฐC today, so today I play catch-up. Luckily for me, my adhd brain takes that as a challenge. 3 days of work in a few hours? Challenge accepted!!

For pictures, weโ€™ve got a new tortum leaf, a ridiculously long latifolia vine that I very much need to make a trellis for, some broadmite ICU patients (my poor beauty star ๐Ÿ˜ญ but sheโ€™s hanging on! ) and an excellent microscope that attaches to your phone making taking and sharing pictures a piece of cake, and a picture from said microscope. Green circle is my beneficial predatory mite; the N. cucumeris, and red circle is a feeder mite.

Look at me, Iโ€™m here early for a change. ๐Ÿ™ƒ I love the microscope pics!!! So interesting and fun to be able to SEE your predators working! ๐Ÿ’ช The tortum is so cool but a little creepy to me when it unfurls. It reminds me of the Rose of Jericho unfoldingโ€ฆ donโ€™t get me started there. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™ve been watching this pup on my snake plant come up for a week or so.. I went to water today and realized whoops, thereโ€™s actually TWO pups. The nursery pot is getting kind of misshapen.. lol. I think this may be a repot situation. Happy to report the Black Magic begonia has been taking off since she arrived!! And I was admiring Buffy today, just because.
@Jho ooh yay, hi Josh! Congrats on snake twins ๐Ÿ‘ฏ ๐Ÿ and thatโ€™s a beautiful snake plant! I love the color ๐Ÿคฉ What kind is it?

LOL on the rose of Jericho-esque tortum. It IS kind of creepy. It makes me think that thatโ€™s the kind of plant Tim Burton or Edgar Allan Poe would have ๐Ÿ˜…

Did you have a rose of Jericho ? A little while ago Heidi @princesspitstop was cracking me up with what she had to say about hers ๐Ÿคญ

Black magic looks GREAT! ๐Ÿ™Œ Iโ€™m obsessed with those leaves. I also just recently had to take my goth begonia out of their clear bin icu because of that air flow problem. I canโ€™t remember if I told you or not but the leaves totally DO glow blue under a flashlight ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
@Jho @DreamMachine Haha They're both creepy ๐Ÿ˜‚ I have a feeling that the "Fingers" Antherium that's coming back to life is going to be Tortum-esque โšฑ๏ธ๐Ÿ’€ I'm so glad I didn't give up on the dead looking nub before the green leaves started growing from it. Weirdest little guy ever ๐Ÿ˜œ I'm folding and putting laundry away rn. I didn't fall down the whole time! You would have been proud. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘
@princesspitstop YAY!! No more intense, unannounced meetings with the floor for you! ๐Ÿซถ

When youโ€™re back and if either of us remember ๐Ÿ˜… Iโ€™d love to see how your anthurium โ€˜fingersโ€™ has grown!
@princesspitstop well, apparently I just needed to wait a sec for the picture to load ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Impatient? MOI? Never! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Your anthurium has so many new growth points!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
@DreamMachine Not your fault. I hit send and forgot to add the picture hahaha apparently the jostle to the ol' noggin did nothing to improve the fog in my brain ๐Ÿง  ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚
@DreamMachine BTW the best thing you can do for me and my ADHD is to tell me that you're on the way to visit me and never show up! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Not because I wouldn't want to see you!! I just mean it will give me just enough motivation to straighten up the whole house awaiting your arrival ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ‰
@DreamMachine @princesspitstop I had a Rose of Jericho and I threw it out because the freaking little finger unfurling at me gave me shivers. Did you guys ever watch Salad Fingers?? THATโ€™s what it reminded me of. ๐Ÿ˜’ Rusty sppppooooonnnnn. That anthurium is looking good!! Yasss necromancy! Anyway, YESSSSSS look at that blue!!!! So pretty! What kind is it again?? I know you mentioned it before but I canโ€™t remember. Yours looks very similar to my (what was sold me as) Zanzibar! I canโ€™t even tell the difference between Zanzibar and Black Mamba though. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ The snake plant is a moonlight that had insufficient light, then sufficient light, then insufficient, and is now bathed in light. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Tricky sucka.
@princesspitstop YES ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ The cleanest my house ever is, is right before someone is due to show up ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
@Jho YESSS Salad fingers!!!! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I like it when the red water comes outโ€ฆSHIVER ๐Ÿ˜‚ and, these videos are attached in my head, but not sure if they aired together, but whenever we run out of teaspoons at work and I have to get a different one for someoneโ€™s coffee, I always make sure to announce, โ€œmy spoon is too big! โ€ฆI am a banana!โ€
@DreamMachine ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@DreamMachine @Jho
๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฅ„โ“Must have been after my time ๐Ÿ˜‚
@princesspitstop @DreamMachine he was so freaky! Like 05-10, somewhere around there. If you search it, heโ€™s still on YT. Just be warnedโ€ฆ. Rose of Jericho.
@Jho oh! Forgot to say, the tag that came with mine called it a Black Mamba but I have no idea ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ From what I can find from a quick poke around on the interwebs (and therefore, could be not true) is that the spirit of Zanzibar might have a โ€œsage green umboโ€ (place of leaf attachment to the pรฉtioleโ€ฆI just looked this up ๐Ÿ˜…) Does yours? I meanโ€ฆ my โ€œblack mambaโ€ also looks like it has a sage green umbo ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
@princesspitstop @Jho yes Salad Fingers was extremely popular when I was in Highschool. Just looked it up, came out in 2004 and was popular for several years! Iโ€™d describe it as a creepy cult classic series of videos ๐Ÿ˜‚

I just had to look this one up too, but the ๐Ÿฅ„ ๐ŸŒ videos were a different creator, came out a few years before Salad Fingers. Itโ€™s a less than 10 min series of weird โ€œrejectedโ€ animation.

@Jho Iโ€™m a little envious of those moonshine pups! Congratulations!
@princesspitstop Nothing like the threat of company to get me and my hubby on a cleaning mission!
@DreamMachine and everyone at #TheWateringHole! Hope everyone is having a great evening. Was hoping to repot my Moonshine snake ๐Ÿ plant, but it still seems to be a little too damp. Not sure if itโ€™s a pup or just the rhizome, but something has grown into the rim of the pot. I have already purchased a new pot. My prayer ๐Ÿ™ plant is unfurling a new leaf (pic from last night) . My Ruby glow pepperomia broke Sunday and was falling over. Now, I know why. My 1st succulent root rot victim of the Summer. Itโ€™s hot and humid and succulents that are not in terracotta pots donโ€™t do well in the Summer in my house. Oh well, now Iโ€™ll hav a little more space under the grow light. Guess Iโ€™ll take a little walk before dark.
@RefinedSandwort oh no lil buddy! ๐Ÿ˜‚ (Re moonshine rhizome or pup) This happens often to my tradescantia nanouk. Iโ€™ve dug out growth that was growing upside down before, so leaves going down into the soil ๐Ÿฅด and then wondered if it was actually helpful to help, or if I shouldโ€™ve just let him figure it out ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I hope your walk is nice! Does it get less humid at sundown or does that stay about the same? I feel very lucky sometimes that our summers are usually hot and dryโ€ฆbut then I remember that 9-10 months of the year itโ€™s wet and cool ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Itโ€™s a trade off! ๐Ÿ˜…
@DreamMachine It was definitely less hot and humid than when I stopped to get gas this PM after work!
Hi Nadia, please add me
@Malagueรฑa Hi Bob ๐Ÿ‘‹ You are already added to the list ๐Ÿ˜ We wouldn't forget you. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿชด
@RefinedSandwort That's an interesting little thing in the pot! I only say it's odd because it's so far away from its Mom. In my experience they grow right up next to it when they're coming in...BUT they also have tubers that they also pop up along so maybe that's what it's doing. Your Prayer Plant is looking amazing!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ It looks like you might just be a natural when it comes to non succulents the way you are with succulents! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŽ‰
I've been meaning to ask you. My husband brought this Snake plant home to me. I thought it was a Trifasciata but the bigger it got the leaves started growing wide. When i ran it through Google lens it said that it was a Jaboa which I had never heard of. It also grows weird. Do you happen to know what it is? The pictures are all of the same plant. ๐Ÿ˜† See what I mean?
