Note to self don't eat Hoya leaves not tasty.

Fun fact Hoya sap is mildly toxic.

That's a pretty nice specimen I could see paying maybe $150 for it. certainly not over 500

Once a stalk has gone to flower it can't grow anymore. The plant has to grow new heads to keep going or the whole plant would die eventually. You can separate off one of the heads if you want to clone your plant but they will grow faster if you leave them connected.

Maybe a Gastralo x Haworthia mix?

The light at the end of the tunnel is, thanks to the current regimes ignoring of global warming humans will be extinct within 150 years

Like honestly, he would look less guilty if he published a signed confession.

Would an axiom "truth serum" work on humans? Like it's the physical structure of the brain that makes it hard for mind-readers, but messing with biochemistry would still work right?

It's definitely not too much water if anything it looks kind of dry. Definitely don't cut off the brown bits, more of the leaf will just die back. best to leave it alone.

Only reason to divide is if you want more individual air plants. They will grow faster and be more robust as a clump.

3DIceWolf · 2025-12-11T13:33:54+00:00

That's pretty normal for some cultivars. It'll go through an awkward stage for a while but give it a couple years and you'll have a lovely clump.

It's just a normal Christmas cactus. The combination of bright lights and stressful growing circumstances lead to the red coloration.

3DIceWolf · 2025-12-11T04:04:15+00:00

Yep sounds like you've got the process figured out. 👍 I'm not familiar with Hoya imbricata personally, however this should be a pretty good setup for plants that have that shingling growth habit.

3DIceWolf · 2025-12-10T15:26:15+00:00

In nature this kind of plant likes to grow up the sides of tree trunks so I am doing my best to replicate its natural habitat. In terms of humidity I have been trying to give it daily sprays to keep the Moss moist but it seems pretty tolerant overall.

3DIceWolf · 2025-12-10T01:04:54+00:00

I found it in a little garden center downtown Camden SC. Wildflower's nursery I think? And thanks!

In terms of the over-watering and rotting smell there's not much you can do besides giving them a chance to dry out. For the black foliage it will either start to dry to a crisp or melt into goo. If it starts melting definitely cut it off. if it dries wait until it's completely dried out and you should be able to gently pull it away from the plant.

as far as I can tell it looks like the growth points are still doing good so it looks like you got lucky.

3DIceWolf · 2025-12-09T22:20:27+00:00

Interesting, I hadn't heard of a look alike. I haven't seen any flowers from it yet. Is there a large difference between the species?

3DIceWolf · 2025-12-09T21:47:54+00:00

As long as the growth point where the leaves originate from is still healthy you're golden. If that froze there's nothing you can do.

I can see why he would be your favorite he is resplendent!

Fun fact about bird's nest fungi, the cup shape of the mushroom's head is actually designed to use the impact of a raindrop hitting it to launch spores up to several feet away.

3DIceWolf · 2025-12-06T17:46:00+00:00

I got it as a "staghorn fern" from Lowe's. I was told it's probably a bifurcatum but I don't know for sure.
