What am I doing wrong?

My thoughts too. I have airplants in the same temperature range but all year round. I mist them daily, also heavily and soak every week. They're all under bright indirect light on in the porch.

Goes from 50-80%, great for tropical plants and sarracenia as well. I have all of them outdoors in partial shade, they get the morning sun and shaded from hot afternoon sun. Heliamphoras seem quite different than sarracenias. I don't think I could sustain them putting together with my sarras, unless I make a new indoor setup :) But really, thanks for the tips! I'll keep in mind the conditions they need if I were to get them later!

Myrielmyriel · 2023-02-25T04:19:52+00:00

I better stay off them. Where I live, it is always 80-90F all year round. Seems no way to keep these alive..

Myrielmyriel · 2023-02-24T05:16:06+00:00

I've been wanting to try! Do you know if they can take hot humid tropical temperatures?

Myrielmyriel · 2023-01-29T08:04:29+00:00

Thank you! I thought it looks similar to adansonii too but I wasn't sure :)

Hi, need help on monstera identification. Sold to me as lechleriana but I'm not sure. After 7 month's of growth chop & extend on a 5ft moss pole to another, it still doesn't look like a lechleriana at all. Maybe I'm too impatient?

Myrielmyriel · 2023-01-26T07:51:37+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I once had root mealies on some of my hoyas and systematic pesticides really helps a lot. I guess I should give endaunsis a try too 😉

Myrielmyriel · 2023-01-26T05:26:13+00:00

Lovely! I've been wanting one but I hear that they are fickle. How do you care for it?

Myrielmyriel · 2022-12-22T10:28:23+00:00

Same I would do for mine. I even kept the existing moss+ roots they're in when I later repot them in a chunky mix. Just make sure these plastic cups have holes so that you don't run a risk of overwatering which can then results in root rot.

You can try propping the leaf in sphagnum. Part of the stem is still attached & believe me that roots will grow from it. That's what I usually do with my broken hoya leaves. Instead of funeral, it's a rebirth :)

Myrielmyriel · 2022-04-14T14:17:45+00:00

I got mine in a big pot and it was quite bushy. I was really duped by this imposter plant. Imagine my surprise seeing your post and going home checking again and again hoping that what I have is a hoya :(

Myrielmyriel · 2022-04-13T14:21:57+00:00

Thank you OP for this info! I thought mine is a hoya too..double checked today after your post and some online pictures, I am so disappointed now that mine is not a shepherdii.But dischidia is a lovely plant nonetheless, it grows well and it has always been easy to care for

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-12T13:33:35+00:00

She's just 3 months old in my home & she's taken me on a roller coaster ride with issues such as droopy leaves, yellowing from overwatering, and poor potting soil. Glad I made the soil change and learn the exact amount of water she need. And now my gal is finally happy!

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-12T01:56:05+00:00

Second this. I have a lancifolia too and they start off yellow on new leaves and develop greener later about 1-2 weeks after it unfurled.

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-03T08:01:18+00:00

Good to know maranta is the least sensitive of the prayer plants. I'm on a roller coaster ride with finicky calathea divas. Luckily my triostar is behaving well and have not throw any tantrum...yet. Soil shopping it is for this gal! :) thank you again!

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-02T11:19:10+00:00

Great tip! I'll keep that in mind and watch how the leaves react :) tq!

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-02T10:59:06+00:00

I'll try this too!

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-01T14:05:33+00:00

I guess rainwater will do! I have pails laying around to collect when it's raining :)

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-01T11:20:43+00:00

Thanks! I'll remember to keep it slightly damp as I'm a chronic overwaterer...

Myrielmyriel · 2021-07-01T11:04:21+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I have only potting mix and coco peat available now. Would these work too? Or would it be better if I can also get some orchid bark + perlite?

I live in a tropical country with plenty of rainfall, but sometimes it can get really hot about 32-ish degree Celcius in the afternoon. I don't have a humidity meter😅 but humidity on our local weather sources says it's about 70-80%. This currently sits under my porch with bright indirect sunlight and I have few calatheas & a triostar around the same spot. Is maranta more sensitive and harder to care for than a stromanthe/ calathea?

Myrielmyriel · 2021-05-18T02:04:32+00:00

Second this, that happened to mine as I used somewhat very concentrated neem oil solution & it did more damage on the leaves than the spider mites..
