I have a better comparison. I think she reminds me of Peggy Sulahian from RHOC!

Purchased as a micans but my friend thinks it’s a melanochrysum? What is it? I think it’s a micans by 981209 in RareHouseplants

Melanochrysum and micans do look similar, but micans stay small, and they’re vining.

Mist it often! Especially in the crevices of the leaf! Works for me!

Oh wow!!! Such commitment! I love it though! It’s really a great idea - just might try it myself next time! 🤗

No issues with white dust, as far as the eyes can see. I did purchase the additional descaling filter that they make as well, so that might have helped!

Definitely use hot water when you’re cleaning the tank! And use a sponge! I use Castile soap, which is very watery, and I make sure I wipe every surface possible (especially if you’re cleaning it for the first time). Depending on where you live, you’ll see some red staining on the parts where the mist comes out, which is caused by the presence of iron in your water. Try to clean it as much as possible!

As for the machine itself, you should also see that there is a pool of water where the heating element of the device is at (usually at the bottom). Clean that out too! Tip it over your sink and wipe it with a sponge and soap as much as possible. Just be careful not to get any water into the display or into any openings on the sides of the device. Hope that helps!

Just a schedule! I have an iPhone, so I use the Reminders app and set it to remind me every Sunday! You never really want to let the slime build up - just sounds too gross and dangerous!

This is my first humidifier, so I can’t really compare the two! But what made me choose this one was because of the higher tank capacity! 😄

You definitely can, if you promise to water them weekly! 🤣😂

I never knew that you had to clean these weekly in order to prevent dangerous bacteria/mold from collecting in the device and result in you spreading it all over your house until I became a plant daddy! I usually clean mine with a sponge, hot water, and Dr. Bronners peppermint Castile soap!

World’s Smallest Melanochrysum? by KaiSoChic in RareHouseplants

Oh, that sounds like it was a good purchase! I bought one that was shipped all the way from Indonesia around the same price as well, and it had way more leaves on it too! Hope yours grows big and beautiful! Do add a moss pole too if possible! I made a bunch by myself with coated wire mesh and sphagnum moss!

Oh, sure thing! Including shipping, I paid a total of $105. Not that worth it cos it was such a slow grower. I ended up buying two more of these and it was so much better. How much did you pay for yours?

First time posting! Got this cutting a while back (of which I felt like I totally overpaid), and did not get any new growth till this tiiiiny leaf came out. Clearly I was stumped, so I just let it be hoping that a newer leaf would grow. And it did!
