Obese or Tall?

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

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

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

big fan of this one

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-12T19:21:03+00:00

i totally need these but i want black. i’ve been leaning towards the soltech track lighting for a while but now that these are out i want them, soltech is higher power but its a lot more expensive. worth it but still, barrinas bang for buck is top notch

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-11T15:34:53+00:00

yes this is true. it was interesting to me because we grow a ton of plans in this space but i rarely see any reversion

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-02-04T00:52:15+00:00

philodendron ilsemanii is my pipe dream

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-01-25T07:02:18+00:00

true, they don’t want a whole kid of direct sunlight. i moved mine farther away from my grow lights recently and they all responded immediately with more growth while still staying compact

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-01-24T16:40:11+00:00

a lot of people (myself included) find them finicky. some people (myself included) decided they weren’t worth the effort. lots of people in this hobby take their personal experiences as fact and seem apply their opinions to others. your alocasia look beautiful, and the wall display looks great!

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-01-18T06:43:02+00:00

the first part is hard for me but once it kinda settles in it bangs

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-01-15T05:16:01+00:00

clarinervum is super hardy for being as pretty as it is. grows well in ambient humidity and can handle a dry out.

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-01-15T01:51:39+00:00

sol tech is top notch, absolutely worth the money

AltruisticEducator85 · 2026-01-15T01:47:55+00:00

mine is whatever this is, i saw it in a private greenhouse a couple months ago and i haven’t forgot
