@Boymom-plantmom is that the name of it?
@Boymom-plantmom or are you making a pun out of the name? 😂
@KiKiT HOW do I get mine like yours! I NEEED one! 😍😩
No philos?! 😳
@AwesomePlants what’s that?
I have some butterwort, you need to keep it in a dish of water, an inch or two high, I keep mine in perlite. Roots are extremely fragile, they are probably smaller than you think too 💀 you need a grow light 250 and only white light, only distilled water. Very cool plants I recommend sundew too!
@z0yk0t they NEED a grow light??
@PlantyPlanter are you asking about the Jewel orchid? I keep mine on a southwest facing windowsill. It is partially blocked by some exterior plants to it gets dappled sunlight. Keep soil moist and use a weak orchid fertilizer weekly.
@KiKiT your one name apology orchard
That one is under a grow light in a fast draining medium that I mixed myself. It includes small rocks, bark, and a bit of sphagnum. Weekly weakly on the orchid fertilizer.
@KiKiT does it need a grow light?
@KiKiT also where did you get it?
@KiKiT also, is there something I have to do to get it to grow that color?
@PlantyPlanter yes they need, I didn’t have my grow light a whole week because of shipping delays, had them in the same spot my other plants thrive and they looked completely miserable, the roots were visibly stringy like hair and the leafs started to die, the green one almost died completely! as soon as I installed the light they popped right back for me! I can add a link to where I got mine it was only $30+my begonias love it! Do research before getting something exotic, sure they look cool but they definitely require different care as all plants do!
@z0yk0t that would be great if you could!
@z0yk0t also could you tell me where you got them?
@PlantyPlanter it will need a grow light or natural light. Is it’s not blooming then it either needs more nutrients or more light. The color occurs naturally. It was a gift from my boyfriend but I believe it came from Publix
@KiKiT got it! Thanks!
@KiKiT what grow light do you use?
@PlantyPlanter the brand is Yescom I just ordered it from Walmart but if you want to buy 4 or more you get discounts on the website ;) you need to find
Yescom 225 White LEDs Grow Light as for the butterwort I just looked up on Instagram “[my city] carnivorous plants” and found a really cool personal collection that I bought from! Look online, there are definitely online retailers!
@z0yk0t @KiKiT would these work? Limited-time deal: GYTF LED Grow Light Strips, 3500K 90-Bulb Full Spectrum Dimmable Plant Growing Lamp Bars with Auto ON / Off Timer for Indoor Plants Succulents Seeds Starting Hydroponics, Extendable Design https://a.co/2hXqkxT
@PlantyPlanter my carnivorous guy said something about red lights being too intense I haven’t experienced it cuz I got only white! the lights are a mix of red and white sooo I think it will be okay. The wattage looks high 3000 compared to the 225 I was recommended too haha but I see it’s adjustable, if you get it maybe start with a medium or lower setting to make sure it doesn’t burn anything! I might buy one myself lol looks cool and affordable
I have an extra bear paw I can try to mail you 😬 they are pretty sensitive so may not be worth it. Mine are all about 6" from an ESE window, in plastic pots with African Violet soil (closest to succulent soil I had at the time). They looks leggy but I think it's because I lost a couple paws in the repot. I bottom water and they all have new growth!
@PlantMompy wow that’s so nice! I’ll have to think about it
@z0yk0t got it! Great! I was hoping these would be ok because I didn’t want to spend a bunch 😅
@jcPlantProper do you have any of these on your shop?
@z0yk0t fussy little buggers 😂 that butterwort
I have red pagoda. It’s growing like weeds and I’m not a succulents person. I put it in a sunny window and basically ignored it except for watering. It’s got blossoms now and I’ve ordered a special pot for repotting so it can keep going. It’s not very red but I’m in pennsylvania. I’ll put it under a grow light after repotting and hopefully I’ll get more red color. I think I got it at a Walmart which I normally avoid but sometimes u get lucky. #RedPagoda #wishlistplant #
@Kwanna wow! So there easy! Thank god!
@jcPlantProper do you have any online plant shops that you recommend that might have some of these?
@jcPlantProper a good amount of them aren’t
I have the jewel orchid in a dome from Ikea. It is thriving With a little negligence and no direct sunlight. A grow light though. It’s a beauty!
Here’s a pic of my burros tail, I got it in April and it’s doubled in size since then, I got it at a nursery for 9$ in a 4in pot, it loves light, I water when its bone dry when I remember, it stays in my window and that’s about it 🤷🏻‍♀️😊
Also, it drops its little leaves which I call little beans lol, usually they fall back into the soil and grow roots on their own, but I know people that have longgggg trialing ones run into issues with them falling into other pots and growing but they don’t always fall some have more issues than others 💛
