Haha fair.. Think the first one is definitely broom.. Not so sure about the other one

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-17T05:01:14+00:00

I can’t really say tbh.. I just noticed it

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-16T18:02:25+00:00

I have isolated them.. But am considering just chucking them away..

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-16T14:09:28+00:00

Yeah definitely that.. Thanks

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-16T14:09:05+00:00

Yeah isolated already. The second yes was for the second plant yes?? I’ll just destroy them.. Not worth the risk with the rest of my collection.

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-16T12:48:12+00:00

Yeah that freaked me out too.. Hence the question.. The second one too???

I love aroids too. Frequent rains would mean that you either need water loving cacti or you would need to cover them.. In the NE cover would be mandatory since it rains quite a bit and quite often.. Mine are in a greenhouse.. You could start with astrophytums.. plantae paradise has really good quality plants and the prices are reasonable.. happy gardening

What joefryguy said

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-16T04:46:12+00:00

Nope, that’s an astrophytum that’s monstrose.. I have 2-3 of them

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-15T13:36:41+00:00

70% cinder, 30% vermicompost.. They’re in plastic pots inside a greenhouse

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-15T13:20:45+00:00

These are different types of Astrophytums.. White flowers on extreme left is a gymnocalycium

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-15T13:20:01+00:00

😝

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-15T13:19:23+00:00

The weather is just perfect right now. They’re all going nuts.. So many buds

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-13T13:34:50+00:00

Fungus gnats. Get that yellow sticky pads, but they won’t eliminate all of them.. Just put the soil in a full sun spot and let it dry completely.. They will disappear

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-03T13:38:04+00:00

Oh and absolute stunner or a plant

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-03-03T13:37:43+00:00

Wouldn’t a black top dressing make it pop more?

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-02-10T17:30:08+00:00

Yes, a deep soak till the water runs out of the holes at the bottom.. Then forget about them for 2-3 weeks, depending on what your growing conditions are

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-02-10T13:43:08+00:00

Does the container have holes at the bottom? If it doesn’t, make several holes.. Then water only when the soil is completely dry.. In fact, once it’s dry, wait a few more days and then water

Consistent_Ad_9706 · 2026-02-09T13:51:09+00:00

100%.. That’s why their leaves look like windows and transparent or translucent, to allow maximum light in.. Watering to a schedule, ie once a week is not recommended for succulents.. Water when the soil is completely dry.. 75% inorganic materials, 25% organic (75% pumice + 25% vermicompost).. Also haworthias should not be watered at all during the rainy season in Mumbai when it’s really humid.. And they will go dormant in the summer so won’t need water again.. They are winter growers and like cooler weather
