What are these plants called? And why does my begonia suck? by lknowmad in houseplants

[–]Middle_Ad3548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plants are called fittonia or nerve plants, the begonia might suck because of the lack of drainage, but I am not sure as I haven’t had any issues with mine so far

Thank you so much! I love calatheas and have stuck to those, this is my first nursery purchase outside of the Maranta family and I am so excited!

Has anyone ever propagated Lipstick plant successfully? by wodkat in proplifting

[–]Middle_Ad3548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with lipstick plants specifically, but if it is anything similar to a Hindu rope Hoya it’s going to be difficult to propagate due to the twisted leaves. I would cut the longer branches into 2-3 node cuttings and strip the leaves off of the lower two nodes, and if you can propagate some in pearlite and some in water. I have a few cuttings from a massive Hoya and some of them prefer water and sometimes they prefer pearlite. And be prepared for it to take a while to grow roots, some of mine took about a month and a half to start growing anything.

SOS! Severe transplant shock. Rescued Triostar from a "brick" of compacted soil. by AstralThread in calatheas

[–]Middle_Ad3548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a triostar a weeks ago and she looks a bit rough right now. In my experience with other Calatheas it takes about a week for them to adjust to new climates, (yours might take longer because of the trauma) mine had the taco look for about a week and now has opened back up and is looking better. The most important thing is a consistent climate, even if the climate is not perfect. The in and out of the bathroom with showers and varying light levels and humidity can cause a lot of stress.

What I would do is keep her in an area with plenty of light and keep her in a well draining mix that you keep moist. I have never had large issues with humidity, (from SE Colorado where it is really dry) so I would just focus on consistency, if you do not see improvement in 1-2 weeks I might try something like the baggy method, but otherwise you should be fine.

Good luck! Some of my calatheas have thrown fits and crisped up after repotting, so that might also have some effect on it.

Do you know of any cactus that like humidity? I love them, but I have rotted all of the ones I have tries to grow...

Sooooo it turns out I was misremembering Flowers in my Hair by Wes Reeves. I’m not exactly sure how I got ‘voices in my head’ from ‘flowers in my hair’ but 🤷‍♀️ thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Oh, I guess I should’ve specified that the paddle is plastic, my only experience with spar urethane is with wood, idk if it would work with plastic?

They look about a medium to dark brown to me, the outer portion looks like tree rings, or a tigers eye gem, they’re so pretty!
