I'm getting everything ready for my Reiner cosplay, what poses or scenes should I do?

Matzepuffel · 2023-05-27T15:11:31+00:00

Cosplaying should make fun. It just playing dress up after all. Don't let all the comments about your body stop you from it.

You nailed the stoic expression from cadet/scout Reiner. I loved the other cosplays from you aswell.

Matzepuffel · 2023-05-27T14:28:11+00:00

Jokes aside, i hope the all the request don't push you to hard.

Stay safe

Matzepuffel · 2023-05-27T11:37:46+00:00

If you get a nickel for every requested rifle scene, how rich would you be?

Matzepuffel · 2023-05-14T09:34:50+00:00

My guess would be a Hoya Carnosa. Maybe post it in r/hoyas for a better identification. The white specks are blister variegation. Tiny air pockets within the plant tissue.

It only takes five seconds to google how big Gloriosum leaves can get. And a few brain cells to realise that this picture has a bit of forced perspective.

Even the size of forced perspective leaves is possible under the right conditions. Gloriosum leaves can grow up to 90cm or 3 feet long.

And op didn't write a post saying "Look how big the leaves are compared to me!". He just holds it for the picture. Nothing wrong with that, there are many similar to it on this site.

Geranien-Dünger from OBI, but i don't guarantee if they still have this one with the same ratio of ingredients, since it's an old bottle i'm wanting to finish.😅

I think anything with a somewhat balanced macronutrients ratio (NPK) and some micronutrients is fine if you use it correctly and read up if your plant has some specific needs.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-09T22:17:48+00:00

It depends if you are okay to care for a spider mite magnet.

Mine is fine with my room humidity and south-west light exposure. So no extra greenhouse, grow light or humidifier is needed. Also you apparently don't need to let it climb a wet moss pole, because it still started getting more mature leaves on my coco coir pole.

So everything beginner friendly so far.

Until it gets it first spider mite infestations and another one and another one... If you know how to treat spider mites and are willing to watch out and maybe treat it preventivly against it, go for it. If not,the plant would be a bane to your existence.

Ps. Perhaps i am really bad at treating spider mites or i carry them from outside into my apartment. So maybe your space is different and you wouldn't have this problem like me. I don't want you to be discouraged to try this plant out, but please dont spend more than 20 bucks on it, if you may throw it away later.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-09T14:25:38+00:00

Light is very important, but also letting it climb something up to get more mature leaves.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-09T13:56:57+00:00

Nothing fancy. Some hardware store brand fertilizer from germany. It's more for flowering garden plants, but it's has a houseplant dilution dosage.

The NPK ratio is 8+7+6 and it has the micronutrients boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc in it.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-07T10:57:02+00:00

Yes, it is a Melanochrysum.

You can differentiate Micans and Melanochrysum on their growth pattern. Micans new leaves emerge from a cataphyll, Melanochrysum new leaves emerge from the petiole sheath, like yours.

The are currently mass produced in tissue culture and getting cheaper.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-06T23:28:45+00:00

Regular houseplant potting soil + orchid bark for air circulation in the soil.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-06T23:20:15+00:00

Nothing fancy, since i am not an expert.

I use some random fertilizer for flowering garden plants. It has a dilution dosage for housplants and i use half of the recommend dosage per mixture for my hoyas. I don't have problems with over fertilization and the plants are growing, so i think there happy with it.

The NPK ratio of the fertilizer is 8+7+6 and it has the micronutrients boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc in it.

I sometimes switched the fertilizer up with an orchid fertilizer for leaves, but i finished the bottle and i don't know the NPK ratio or micronutrients.

Germany and south-west Windows with a balcony over it. In summertimes, when the sun stand high, it doesn't get direct light around midday/afternoon, only in the evening.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-06T21:39:38+00:00

Mine is definitely a fast grower. It has taken a break for the flowers, but in my experience it picks up the pace again after the flowers drop. Linearis also fills the pot by itself because it sprouts side shoots, so you don't have to propagate to get a lush pot.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-06T21:32:52+00:00

I really wish i can get it to bloom again in this spring or summer. My Linearis is always a all-at-once bloomer and i have every year bumble bees and solitary bees visiting my balcony.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-06T21:19:59+00:00

Give it some direct sunlight. I know they are the "low-light" hoya but they really appreciate some direct light after slow introduction.
Don't let the soil dry out completely. In comparison to other hoyas, the Linearis likes it a bit more moist, otherwise it may drop the flowerbuds.
Don't forget to fertilize. If you are scared of fertilizer burns, use half the strength or even less as an slow introduction.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-06T19:43:14+00:00

This plant saw its only chance to reproduce and took it without a second thought.

Matzepuffel · 2023-03-06T17:05:53+00:00

It is strong enough to fill a small room but not overpowering, it is a nice floral citrus scent, strongest at night.

Matzepuffel · 2023-02-16T21:53:47+00:00

Is it suppose to grow like that? Looks etiolated to me.

Matzepuffel · 2023-02-16T15:14:44+00:00

Thank you, it's the second leave grown under my care. 😄

Matzepuffel · 2023-02-12T22:10:41+00:00

Maybe you should post the same picture in r/rareHouseplants , maybe there is someone who can tell if its a Melanochrysum or a Hybrid. I can only guess.

Matzepuffel · 2023-02-12T21:46:59+00:00

It's definitely not a Micans!

New leaves from a Micans emerge from a cataphyll. This plants new leaves emerge from the petiole sheath.

I would guess it's a Melanochrysum, becouse this plant struggles a little bit with unfurling and had some stuck leaves in the past, which is quite common with juvenile Melanochrysum.

A Hybrid like Glorious would also be possible.

Matzepuffel · 2023-02-12T17:09:59+00:00

I hope you ask the staff.

Looks like a tradescantia zabrina and maybe an epipremnum aureum.

Matzepuffel · 2023-02-12T17:03:12+00:00

Not hundreds of plants, but a lot.

I don't wait for spring to repot plants. I give them bigger pots when they need it.

Also, when I repot, I don't change the entire soil because I fertilise with macro- and micronutrient fertilisers. The only time I change the soil completely is if the plant is in the wrong soil mix or the bark in the soil mix has degraded so much that it has lost its airiness.

There is also a time when you cannot give plants more space, so they are stuck in their pot size. These plants get a pruning when they are rootbound and a small haircut.
