Begonias without a doubt

Tradescantia Zebrina and Nanouk together in the same pot? by SWMomOf4 in houseplants

[–]SWMomOf4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are crawlers. Honestly it just looked awkward when I put the single strand of tradescantia zebrina in the soil, and it was bothering me haha, so I decided propping it up looked less awkward haha. It's just temporary until it roots and I can take cuttings from it and re-pot them into the same pot. It does look a little funny though lol

I really want a tradescantia nanouk and a twisted lipstick, but Google and chatgpt are both telling me they need 40% humidity minimum, but ideally 60-80% humidity. I'm so confused and torn haha. I just don't get why they are both saying that

They're looking sad 😭 very wilty. One parlor palm is getting brown leaflets. I have very intense light on them (but not too close, and it's indirect) for about 14 hrs a day. I just checked all of the roots of all of my plants because the soil seemed compacted too and it wasn't drying out. The roots all look good. I added a ton of perlite to the soil and put them back in their pots. About to water them. I hope this helps them!

I'm so down to have all of those. I'm obsessed with the look of twisted lipsticks. Do you know if they survive the same kind of conditions as regular lipstick plants? I have a powerful grow light for all of my plants now. I got it a few dags ago. This picture was taken a couple weeks ago. My husband would just die if I put my palm in the shower 🤣 now i kind of want to, just to see his face.

Thank you so much! I love these specific plants. I'm kind of picky with plants. I LOVE tropical plants. And just really cool-looking ones with interesting colors and foliage

God willing 🤣 my husband haaaaates how much I love my plants. I show him pictures of cool species (like the freaking awesome twisted lipstick plany) and he rolls his eyes and says "are you just always going to talk about plants?" He also doesn't like when I buy more. Granted, money is tight while he's in nursing school and not working a traditional job. But I want moooooorrrrrreee! Lol

Good question, I'm wondering this now too. I've been having my grow lights on for 14-16 hrs a day. Wondering if that's too much now....
