1ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 days ago
I had mine flower all last summer.
@botanicalarts it was such a surprise for me! I didnt think it was possible in the conditions i have them in πŸ˜…
@Dems I just came here to post mine too!!! ❀️ The first time it's ever flowered for me! Yours is gorgeous and looks so happy!! πŸ₯°
@Dems Also, I believe that you have a Red Prayer Plant. The Green ones don't have the red veining on the leaves. πŸ˜πŸ‘
@Dems @princesspitstop Nice job ladies I’m jealous.
@ILoveMyPlants Do you have one Deb?
@Dems @princesspitstop I truly think each plant has their own personality. 🀭 And maybe there ARE a lot of calathea divas, but I have so many chill ones!
Beautiful!
@princesspitstop it automatically sorted it for me and i forgot to change it hahah
@DreamMachine my worst one was a white fusion im still mourning to this day
@princesspitstop I have the green and a Kim Martina oh and just bought chance after you told me there was no hope πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ all have there issues but coming back again 🀞 I know they probably look bad but there’s always hope.
@DreamMachine Ya know I just read they’re all martinia’s πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ But I’ll leave it up too you. Our little plant whisperer who blows baggies πŸ’™
@DreamMachine That was meant in a kind way 🀬 Didn’t want you to take me wrong πŸ˜‘
@ILoveMyPlants Bahahahaha πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

And you’re right! They’re all in the same β€˜maranta family’ of marantaceae. Your green veined maranta and the 3rd pic the rattlesnake calathea look great! I think you’re too harsh on yourself my dear Deb 🫢

and the middle one the kerchoveana doesn’t look bad, just maybe fussing a little bit about water πŸ˜… Either water quality or frequency I think πŸ€”

Love, your resident bag blower πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œ
@ILoveMyPlants oh no worries, I took it like that πŸ˜‚ I snorted when I read that 🀣
@ILoveMyPlants I told you there was "no hope"? That totally doesn't sound like something I would say.
@Dems oh I feel your pain!! 😩😭
@princesspitstop I feel like that’s gotta be a typo because I can’t imagine you saying there was no hope πŸ€ͺ
@DreamMachine Yeah cuz I have an Antherium that's literally a stick that I repotted and put under a grow light 6 months ago that I continue to water. I hold out hope until the bitter end!! πŸ€£πŸ™ŒπŸ™
@princesspitstop You did I couldn’t believe it myself but ditched it 😀 Though I must confess I had to cut my ZZ plant back to nothing because I remember you saying yours came back.
@DreamMachine well I wish I could find the post on my old rattler. Should I go scoop it outa the compost 🀣
@ILoveMyPlants Wow sorry I don't remember that and honestly it's totally not in my character to be negative like that. I always say if there's green there's something to save but if you say I said it then I apologize.
