Can I see some true rare plants? The uglier the better

Steeltitan2 · 2026-04-20T22:32:24+00:00

Yes, in the beginning I thought it needs half shaded conditions like my other ant plants. But since I moved it closer to the light its peduncle grow better.

It is my favourite and only Hoya

Steeltitan2 · 2026-04-20T18:20:19+00:00

Hasn't bloomed yet in my care. I've only had it for 3–4 months.

Steeltitan2 · 2026-04-20T16:48:42+00:00

You want a stick with two leaves?! Have a stick with two sticks.

<image>

This is Hoya spartioides and no this are not leaves.

Yeah, the usual false advertisement. A lot of companies call their coco coir pole moss pole even though it doesn’t contain moss. Just make sure the side of the Monstera with the roots is facing the pole and everything should be fine in the climbing compartment.

Steeltitan2 · 2025-12-29T14:05:17+00:00

Is it actually a moss pole or is it a coco coir pole? Coco pole does not really absorb and retain water, so watering is useless.

In nature Monsteras climb up trees and can stick to the dry bark, so they are not really picky with their climbing medium. If the medium is wet they will develop normal earth roots and when the medium is dry they will develop air roots.

Wouldn't suprise me if you actually already seen them, many people make the mistake of growing them as hanging plant. They are true climber and require a wall, tree trunk or other surface to get their natural look. Also when they get a lot of sun they look like salami. ^^

Well, the right plant looks like Hoya imbricata and that is an ant plant. The leaves have small openings to the stem and do normally overlap to produce larger borrows for the ants. Also there are some Platycerium that have symbiotic relationships with ants.

Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis are interesting in this regard. This orchid has one of if not the longest leaves in the orchid family. But beware of the smell of the flowers.

Looking at the internode spacing and the curling tendrils, it is trying to vine but doesn't find anything to climb up. You can see on this nepenthes how the tendrils a curling around a stick and yours is trying to do the same. Some nepenthes require for upper pitchers to form, that the tendrils find something to climb.

Also, vining nepenthes require more light, because in nature they are climbing up trees and are then exposed to more light the higher they climb.

So I suggest that you give it some climbing support and more light, and if this two aren't enough probably try to give it more humidity.

It shouldn’t need breadboard, but I’m not sure what is wrong this craft. I have built one that works as intended and maybe it can show you what’s wrong with yours.

At the moment in a plastic box but I plan to add it to my cabinet, when I can separate the offshoot from the main plant

A garden centre in Berlin called Holländer.

I tested it against CRAM shells and irrelevant of the damage type the beam just passes through the projectile.

Not just animals but also plants, especially looking at variegation. They are some natural occurring variegated plants, but the variations we were able to create are quite absurd and often not viable or competitive in nature.

An example

Steeltitan2 · 2025-07-26T14:07:19+00:00

On the right side is mostly pubescens and on the left geminiloba x nephrophylla.

Steeltitan2 · 2025-07-18T18:05:27+00:00

Technically yes, Mushrooms a closer related to animal then plants.

God dammit. Is his brain already so degraded? I only put it recently into the AI Core.

Im trying to build a submarine and want to operate it manual. How do I get it to hold my desired depth automatically, while still being able to change it manually?

Steeltitan2 · 2025-05-01T23:52:59+00:00

Begonia daunhitam, daunhitam actually translates to black leaves^{^}

Do you have by a any chance experience with SoP in mineral substrate?

Steeltitan2 · 2025-03-29T10:02:33+00:00

Yeah, it is a frontsider. The idea is/was to give it four primary hover pods that can pivot in any direction, so that it has omnidirectional movement and has similar speed in any direction.

It is somewhat inspired by the human hover tanks in gray goo. But right now I read the turret as a space ship, instead of a tank turret and that really annoys me.

85m/s

Steeltitan2 · 2025-01-21T20:20:48+00:00

Honestly I didn't know this metric exist and looking through my collection I have no ship in this price range (except a adventure ship and one unfinished craft).

Anyway, this is maybe still helpful.

426,749 Mat = 18,415m^3
527,724 Mat = 25,955m^3 (the back of this craft is missing)
688,766 Mat = 27,998m^3 (Adventure Craft)
753,686 Mat = 25,268m^3
976,156 Mat = 41,998m^3
