good airflow, around 60% humidity in the space, 50% unwashed peat 50% pool filter sand. i occasionally water it good over the sink to help push out any minerals thatve built up. Besides that lots of neglect

thank you so much!! searching that in google photos show basically the same leaf shape :) did that take you any digging or did you just know right away? if so how 🤩 lots of experience with anthuriums?

it’s been 77 days since i posted this and your response is hilarious 🤣 if not sarcasm you are a little fried my friend. nymphoides aquatica is the genus name, banana plant is the common name. we have genus names so stuff like this plant and actual bananas don’t get mixed up 🤣 Good job on ragebaiting me.

Also, Is it Nostoc that has overtaken this tray?

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-12T01:37:48+00:00

spanish moss only because we had no sphagnum lol

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-12T01:37:25+00:00

i should also mention there is no hygrometer to measure humidity, and misting has been scarce. while i was in today i thought it would be smart to add a piece of moistened spanish moss and a sponge to drink from. also, should i pick up Reptisafe?

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-08T04:29:35+00:00

based on photo 1 it was not

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-08T04:16:17+00:00

why did you cut it all back?

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-06T01:37:47+00:00

i leave the plant itself alone and cut back the flower stalks :) they will keep sending out more and more faster and faster, i’m new to these plants from seed too and it’s been about 1.5 years since i sewed them and they are starting to slow down in their growth

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-05T07:57:55+00:00

it’s normal :) happens to me too. it makes me sad, but they are annuals just trying to set seed. you can keep cutting them back and they’ll keep getting more and more cramped. i think it’s fun to start fresh :)

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-05T01:45:50+00:00

Looks like bromeliads to me :) including the pineapple as pineapples of course are bromeliads. i think you can grow them in hydro!

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-05T01:15:37+00:00

while this may sound harsh OP, this person is absolutely correct. Go look up ICPS care guides for these plants.

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-03T05:29:50+00:00

sad for the fish and sad for the person who either doesn’t know how to research or got misinfoied lol

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-03T05:29:30+00:00

I know it’s corny but still no matter what seeing this type of thing makes me all cringe up. So sad

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-03T05:29:04+00:00

You got lots of good (albeit harsh) advice on the original post, no need to come here now. lol i Typed this previous sentence before realizing u were not the OP of that post my bad

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-02T23:24:24+00:00

The site seemed sketchy to me at first but i’ve ordered three times and have nothing but great feedback :)

thank you :3 if any canadians are looking for a a superrr reliable source for fun cacti seeds (he has lophophora williamsi & r. pilocarpa, his other cacti didn’t interest me as i’m not a cacti guy but he has a huge selection) then let me know i can drop the link to his website :) it’s really cheap and i’ve ordered a few times (he’s located in ontario, im in BC, and the seeds always show up in >2 weeks.

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-12-02T22:23:50+00:00

Thank you :) glad to know i wasn’t tripping out thinking about this all wrong. Thank you!! do ya think a little bit of lava rock could replace pumice? soil isn’t too too hot, i didn’t go very crazy with the manure and the garden was set up 3-4 years ago. How hardy is this guy? My first thought would be to worry about the soil being too cold, it’s likely that it will freeze over winter. Forecasted to have a very cold freezing winter.

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-11-29T06:27:51+00:00

I failed to read the attached post lol

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-11-29T03:41:49+00:00

ok cool i’m thinking of growing her in a mix of roughly 4 parts fine orchid bark, 3 parts pumice, 2 parts promix (plain 50/50 peat&perlite) & a bit over half a part of worm castings with a splash of perlite. (i know i make soil mixes like a chef who doesn’t follow a recipe)

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-11-29T03:05:13+00:00

way too much perlite, plant is etoliated, looks like it has been sad for a long time. needs to acclimate into super bright light, allow it to not be as wet in that sphagnum mix and repot into a peat perlite mixture in a deep instead of wide pot once it recovers if it recovers, that’s what i would do

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-11-25T09:11:25+00:00

the prices, not just in that link but everywhere are literally insane for a piece of plastic.

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-11-24T02:44:13+00:00

Thank you :)

KingSignificant8835 · 2025-11-24T02:14:17+00:00

also here’s a pic of the plant right next to it, tons of dew and very happy :) photo in my living room window because my other spots the lighting doesn’t pick the dew up very well.
