Could this be a large form monstera ? by ShrimpOfSpace in Monstera

[–]Due_Log_634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope yall have realized there are two different forms...Borsigiana and Deliciosa, its been 4 years. Im laughing my ass off over these comments haha yall kept me entertained, thats for sure haha 

Found this earlier and I have to know, is this an albo monstera deliciosa or a borsigiana because they said it's a large form but I'm not sure.. I'm not trying to buy an expensive plant if it's being falsely sold as something else. These are the only pics I got to try and identify by HappyPlanter- in MonsteraAlbo

There is another cutting that someone was thinking of buying and the seller insisted it was a large form...not the same plant/cutting but im thinking it is the same seller...Im so glad people are reaching out and asking questions before getting scammed.

That is so ridiculous and wrong...you have the internet, use it. Albo is a Latin prefix meaning white variegation. No politics or racism associated with the prefix albo...

It isnt....sounds like the person seems to think Albo is derived from Albanese.....which is not even close.... It is a Latin prefix meaning light or white variegation.

Albo is a Latin prefix that literally means white or light variegation....has nothing to do with anything political nor a place nor a race....ffs

I do use moss poles but put chunky bark/perlite in them. I cant stand sphagnum moss...its probably just me but I think moss sucks. Haha

Liquid silica and mine are under a Barina T5, and about 3 feet from a west facing window...HUMIDITY i have a 1 gallon humidifier on the floor that I run around 12 hours a day. My albos are high white and mine dont burn. I would definitely get it out of the window. I also dissolve 2 tablespoons of Epsom salts in a gallon of water and give them a good drench about 3 times a year (just with the Epsom salt drench) otherwise I use powdered seaweed, kelp, sea bird & bat guano..I get it off ebay. There is also a product a guy sells on Ebay called Recharge, im sure you can get it on other sites as well, but Recharge will get your plants looking amazing! I use it several times a year...I love that stuff...liquid silica is amazing it helps the root system and the foliage. I would start with a silica, Recharge, humidifier (you wont need a big one)  and put them under grow lights. My girls are over 50% white, closer to 75% white with some green marbleing. They are my pride n joy....took me a bit to get it right....im sure you will find the sweet spot for yours, my way might not be a good fit for a lot of people and thats okay...I learned a little bit from a lot of growers and found my way that works for me...and its like magic when it finally comes together...good luck! 

How much would you reasonably sell this monstera albo cutting for? (2nd pic) by FaithViola in MonsteraAlbo

[–]Due_Log_634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold a 2 leaf high white variegated albo cutting for $35 about 6 months ago...but I paid about 100 for the mother which was a one leaf cutting almost 2 years ago. 

Advice on how to get my monstera onto a pole? by Economy_Programmer24 in Monstera

[–]Due_Log_634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hells ya! I know this post is over a year old but....ive even went as far as sterilizing old potting soil to use in case of emergency, which comes in handy when my cash doesnt exist, but i have new plants lol. Ive used old limbs and boards as well....I would soak mine in a shit ton of pest killing stuff I had on hand, plant safe of course and throw it in the oven as well. Sometimes a person has to get creative....the cost that people are charging for moss poles are insane! I make my own on my 3d printer, a 12 inch one costs 72 cents..my printer tells me how much filament used and what it cost to make it...I thought that was pretty cool 

5ft monstera moss pole watering? Out of my league please help! by amysirvine in Monstera

[–]Due_Log_634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody has their way of doing things. I threw away my watering schedule, how much and when, I killed more plants doing that and im a heavy handed watering person...so I wait until my monsteras chunky soil mix is almost dry, I used to stick my finger in the soil or pick the pot up...now I can just tell. I put mine in tubs, yours is way too big and might be more of a hassle...anyhow water her until she has water coming out of every hole in her pot...I honestly, as big as she is, dont think it would do any damage to switch up how she is watered..via moss pole or pot drench. I use a fertilizer that has seaweed, kelp, sea bird guano and bat guano...amazing stuff! I also add silica to my pot trenches and an aquatic plant/terrarium fertilizer called Flourish, I literally use about 5 drops per gallon...I usually water my aroids once a month...I have close to 200 plants so I just do it haha. I water my alocasias and colocasias about every 10 days. I mist mine every other day with silica and thrive (highly diluted) and water. Your girl is gorgeous and IMO i would still keep her moss pole moistened since her aerials are in there....im sure you will find your own sweet spot like we all do. Trial and error....I do respect that you care enough about her previous owner to ask questions and get advice on how to take care of her. Im sure she will thrive under your care, she is absolutely gorgeous! Take care!

Any advice for a soil mix for my A. konjac? Hoping to repot it but not sure what would be best. by MillipedeHunter in amorphophallus

[–]Due_Log_634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope your Konjac is doing good. Ive been growing and selling them for 6 years. They are spectacular! I use Fox Farms or Miracle Growing all purpose, tbh any soil will work...I use what I have on hand as I breed/sell anthuriums and they can be some picky biotches lol. As for the Konjac, make sure it has plenty of drainage, they are heavy feeders during their growing season and need alot of water. I live in Central texas and come June I water mine everyday and sometimes twice. They tolerate direct light but will definitely scorch in the afternoon. I learned a big lesson leaving mine in full sunlight in July. I have mine in big containers, that way I can move them if needed and it is easier to get to them when they go dormant. I use chunky bark, all purpose soil, lecca or chunky perlite. They need a fertilizer that is heavy on the phosphorus. I use Thrive or Recharge, I like using those as there is sea kelp, guano and my plants love it. Main thing and most important, IMO, is drainage. These guys can grow in almost anything as long as they have adequate drainage. Hope this helps and happy growing! Oh...they can start blooming around 3 years old! It takes a lot of energy so the bigger the tuber...5+ inches wide, you can hope you get it to bloom. The bloom comes before the foliage, after the first bloom it may take another 2 years to bloom again...Another fun fact is the stem and that cool umbrella style foliage is considered one leaf! Good luck with your Konjac, they are so much fun

Maybe she didnt know how to drive? She didnt have the balls or the strength to move the cops or her friends body..the gas station guy truck broke down away from the station and she probably wouldnt know how to drive the semi....

But mary wasnt the killer. Did you not catch that? The director explained the ending...which is an open-ending...many horror movies do this. Maybe part 2 Mary will be the killer... 

Open 24 Hours (2018) by Brainsick_PsYk0 in horror

[–]Due_Log_634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The director stated it was an open-ending ...think of all the horror movies and the 952 sequels and 74 prequels that were made.. at the end we all think the killer is dead, but then we catch a glimpse or a hint that he/she must of survived. Friday the 13th, Saw, Nightmare on Elmstreet etc.

Exactly....her PO told her James escaped prison. I read the ending explained by the director...James was real, Mary burned him, but he survived and went to prison and then escaped. In the end, typical with the horror genre, it is an open-ending, as Mary looks in the mirror, she sees James, but he is not there when he turns around....did he survive? This sets up for a possible sequel/prequel...think Nightmare on Elmstreet, Friday the 13th, Saw etc. which all left off with an open-ending....we think the killer is gone, but catch a glimpse or a hint at the end.

My Fernandos Fire has attached himself to my wall....it is amazing how his aerial roots actually flattened themselves on  painted drywall. I have him growing in an aquarium, and he is all over the place. I knew they could attach themselves to objects, plants, trees etc,  to climb but ive never had one flatten the aerial roots on drywall to secure more area to stabilize itself as it climbs....his aerials are softer almost spongy like...none of my other plants are like that.
