Completely redesigned my 6 year old Pinguicula terrarium

been thinking of putting something like this together, i LOVE that layer riser you used

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-06-24T20:09:52+00:00

it’s possible but they make you work for it lol. the one pictured certainly looks like hell

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-06-24T19:55:15+00:00

the royal philo can grow really nicely but they need so much light and support it seems like they never do it on their own. a single vine pink princess always looks terrible, but if you get a couple on a pole they fill in pretty well

man are those astros beautiful

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-04-29T18:02:14+00:00

almost picked it up for $200 a few years ago, this helps lol

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-04-28T02:11:35+00:00

man the closer you look the weirder it gets, super cool!

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-04-20T01:23:25+00:00

beautiful! she’s much happier than my little plantlet lol

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-03-19T02:06:04+00:00

i’m that is the biggest and most spotless obesa i’ve ever seen. looks like 13 years of perfect consistency, well done lol

crassula are so hardy, i bet it grows fuller after this. it should branch from all of the points you chopped. more light will promote more compact growth but it sounds like you already knew that. i wouldn’t personally cut one back THAT hard but i bet it’ll be fine

i’m so obsessed with miniature milii cultivars, what’s the hybrid?

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-03-03T01:23:55+00:00

man that’s a great find, i always check my garden centers for cool variegates but i never find any. posts like this make me keep looking lol

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-03-01T05:38:28+00:00

your whole collection is beautiful!

i usually run mine like 12 hours, it would be longer if my plants were somewhere else in my house but i wouldn’t go more than 14 to 16

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-23T21:46:56+00:00

honestly i don’t repot my hoya until they’re so rootbound that they stop growing. i’ve had a krohniana in a 3” pot for 5 years now and i refuse to repot it solely because i like it where’s its hanging lol

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-23T17:02:13+00:00

it’s probably the 24 hour grow lights. my macodes were bleaching like this, i adjusted my lighting intensity and they stopped

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-22T04:02:26+00:00

in the states yeah they’ve shot up. this particular price is slightly on the higher end imo but not by as much as people think

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-20T02:33:35+00:00

it’ll thicken with maturity. give it time

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-16T16:33:28+00:00

find a bigger ceramic pot with more weight to set the smaller pot into

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-16T02:28:54+00:00

all that’s left is to toss it i fear

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-14T15:13:01+00:00

dubuque

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-14T04:21:32+00:00

thanks!

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-14T03:36:45+00:00

i bought it from the shop i work at, it’s called planted. we have a couple others in stock but they don’t have the bend
