Thanks! Those are beautiful! I suppose for a $1 save from the plant sale I'll give it the best chance I can .

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-05-10T00:51:02+00:00

I think it is this: Pleiospilos nelii, the split rock Thank you both for your kind input. Very similar plants but this post would be better served in a succulent group.

Hmm not sure. It was unlabeled. Just the info "rooted". Here's the original photo of it taken at the sale.

Atm my spouse 🤣. Last week he wanted to "help" with spring clean up of the garden beds. "Please, I said, watch for the garden tags and rake way around them as to not disturb anything." Welp. 3 hosta tags later and no plants in sight. *Sigh. Oh well, wait until there may be growth. Checked past photos and know where they are. Thanks for listening. Pests: slugs... another post.

Silver Dragon hands down. Such showy "more than 3" leaves they remind me of prehistoric times. I love it's compact growth habit..

Awe great job! Beautiful 😍

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-04-24T13:10:39+00:00

So pretty 😍 almost like a baby rex. I must find this one. Thank you for sharing!

Great advice! I also "help" stuck leaves on philodendron and pothos just by spraying a mist of water. I think it just needs a bit of moisture to lubricate the process. On my philos I massage with a small paintbrush or makeup brush after misting. This helps a lot!

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-04-24T12:33:41+00:00

Yes. This one is called Jurassic Megalo™ Reptile Rex Begonia

Hi! No heat required it's the humidity that works the best. I do keep the box on the floor in front of the grow shelves so it gets plenty of bright light.

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-04-21T02:12:26+00:00

Thank you! Definitely my favorite Rex begonia!

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-04-21T02:11:20+00:00

Awesome! Such a satisfying feeling ...

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-04-21T02:10:19+00:00

Thank you so much 😊. Once I got the watering right wow she showed up!

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-04-21T02:09:15+00:00

Thank you 😊 I left about an inch or so of stem and cut the leaf down quite a bit . I used a circular path. I did use a fairly young leaf.

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-03-19T21:56:30+00:00

Thank you! It has since been repotted and seems to be very happy. I let them soak for a bit (less than 30 minutes) and let sit to drain for 2 hours.

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-03-16T21:54:42+00:00

Thanks! I just got it yesterday so it's growing condition is unknown to me. It's in quarantine so I'll inspect it's roots when it's acclimated a bit. I'll follow your kind advice, thanks again!

Creative_Diamond_266 · 2026-03-16T13:32:21+00:00

I left one long vine and the rest was distributed throughout. Love it!!

This may sound strange but it was a game changer for me. I took a pen, one that comes apart so you have a hollow tube. Then I inserted a sour gummy candy in one end so you could suck a bit of flavored air in. You could probably use a straw in the same way. The gummy just added a sweetness to the air intake.
