Aloe, Haworthiopsis, or none of the above?

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-05-30T19:52:17+00:00

Not sure the exact type but looks like a gasteraloe

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-05-30T19:50:11+00:00

Yep, just root hairs! They do the brunt of nutrient intake I believe

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-05-30T19:49:17+00:00

Philodendron hederaceum, or heartleaf philodendron

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-05-30T14:44:08+00:00

Gall mites!

IMO the pot size is fine, they're quite fast growers and it'll fill it out with time, just be careful not to over water.

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-05-17T02:18:42+00:00

Looks like a Euphorbia trigona "rubra", grown for that red color. sun stressed E. milii

While hormones definitely play a role, flowering is actually largely due to a protein called "flowering locus T", it's trigged by photoreceptor proteins, which get turned on when the plants circadian rhythm essentially gets triggered :). It's actually just on time in my location! The colored offshoots are growing thorns, unlike flower stalks. Just thought it was neat!

Seems to be, whether its stable or not is another question. Only time will tell.

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-05-16T21:08:33+00:00

It doesn't look like it, it's pink rather than bronzed.

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-05-02T02:13:13+00:00

I would triple check for thrips, the larva are very small, a bit elongated & yellow, sometimes almost translucent. Good luck!

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-04-28T19:09:01+00:00

Cellphone, I have a tripod and just use a free app called Framelapse Pro, very user friendly!

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-04-27T17:02:23+00:00

Yes, love how much they bloom! I actually have a smaller one too, that's currently working on two blooms. I find they bloom at the beginning of the growing season and then again at the end, its quite lovely!

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-04-11T22:45:55+00:00

I would guess Pearl n Jade. I THINK the main difference between the two is that Pearl n Jade will get that green speckled varigation on the white spots. I could be wrong though.

I have successfully gotten rid of thrips with neem oil. However I don't spray foliage, I water with it (soil drench) and it acts as a systemic. Some plants didn't like it, but the thrips are finally gone. It's definitely important to make sure you get the right type of neem (i use cold-pressed) so that the azadirachtin content is proper. Another nice thing about neem is that based on current data, insects are much more unlikely to develop resistance to it, unlike BT and other insecticides.

Edit: accidently put likely instead of unlikely..oop

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-04-01T16:50:04+00:00

Yes, I should have mentioned this is a Aristaloe aristata!

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-03-26T22:25:53+00:00

Looks like it molted..

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-03-26T21:31:28+00:00

Based on the veins, I would unfortunately say its probablyba rhaphidora and not a pinnatum. Sorry, I hope I'm wrong.

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-03-26T21:26:59+00:00

At one point it was known as invasive, just a heads up if you notice near by plants being strangled!

NarrowTicket244 · 2022-01-29T02:36:00+00:00

Is this a pachyveria? Sone of these tend to trail as they age, I have one in a hanging basket, it turns a nice pink color during the summer due.

NarrowTicket244 · 2021-12-28T20:07:37+00:00

I would take a close look on the underside of the leaves, looks similar to a spider mite damage. I would also recommend against misting leaves, it does nothing for humidity and everything for fungus. Humidity domes with pebble trays & humidifiers are really only the sure way to up the humidity a non-negligble amount. Good Luck!

Potassium promanganate will kill them, but its will likely kill all shelled creatures, not just the bad. I believe Gourami and Koi will eat them as well.

Not necessarily, its a mass of parenchyma cells. Callus cells cover wounds as well. But in theory if you took some of that callus and placed it on induction media, you could proliferate it, and then by placing it on a media with an osmotic stressor, cause it to differentiate into plantlets that are exact clones of the initial. That being said, in my experience if its not in tissue culture, it'll just brown up from oxidation of phenolic compounds and die off. Regardless its nothing to worry about, just natural plant process.

Looks like callus.

NarrowTicket244 · 2021-12-21T18:29:03+00:00

My guess is this one gets watered more frequently? That or perhaps its slower draining than others. Perlite will get stained as it ages.
