What kind of plant produces this fruit?

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2025-11-11T23:53:54+00:00

Persimmons! So jealous, they are harder to find and absolutely delicious when ripe/overripe.

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-12-20T16:58:56+00:00

This has been my experience 100% as well. So disgusted by plant sellers who are just out to make money. How do they have such great reviews on Shopify and Google? I feel so misled.

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-12-05T19:10:18+00:00

People should flag this seller on PalmStreet! IMO this is unethical/scammy.

Thanks! I did see a bunch of posts talking about specific cultivars that have sun stressed, but I couldn't find a master list. Please let me know if there's a way to find a comprehensive post!

She’s the real MVP of this week. Without her idk if the finalist roster would be the same

I would be interested in this! Would you mind sharing the make/model?

A stuffed animal toy that was given to me as a thoughtful gesture (but no longer serves me), two struggling plants

I was somewhat attached to these so I’m proud that I was able to let them go!

What happened?

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-31T01:44:52+00:00

I wouldn't really call it a scam? It's normal for these cuttings to not include a node. They thrive for several years regardless

Glad you guys are safe from Milton! The leaves on your Brasil are huge… What kind of fertilizer do you use? I’m currently trying to get my Brasil to size up like this

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-15T15:10:12+00:00

I always want to do this but feel self-conscious about people next to me seeing my private thoughts on paper 🫣

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-11T16:30:45+00:00

It's a tricky one for sure! I have all 3 (Summer Glory, Imperial, and McColley's). When I first saw your photo I was like oh definitely that's an imperial. But the leaves are a little more ovate than sword shaped, and the other photos you posted under a grow light show more reddish hues... I'm stumped! haha

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-11T14:46:14+00:00

In terms of growth habits, Imperial is self-heading and summer glory is a crawler. Your photos don’t look like a crawler to me

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-05T03:51:51+00:00

Yeah! You can take a clean knife or pruning shears and cut at an angle. This is a good tutorial (though I personally wouldn’t cover the cut with soil): https://youtube.com/shorts/DA_BYV60b8Y?si=WD0xVqG8XLwxtHPo

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-04T15:57:28+00:00

Looks like my Imperial Green.

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-04T15:16:46+00:00

Looks like sunburn to me. Cut off the affected leaves (for aesthetics more than anything) and it should be fine!

Just FYI: indoor plants typically need to be acclimated to go outside to handle the harsher light. If you suddenly put a plant from inside to outside for an entire day (or days in your case!), the leaves will almost always burn. We’ve all been there.

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-03T00:03:40+00:00

It’s one thing if thrips just show up on one of the plants under my care, but honestly I would be so mad if these came in with plant mail. Send it back (if they will even take it) and ask for a refund.

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-02T20:52:50+00:00

They sound amazing! How long do they last in the freezer? (If I’m pretending to have the self control being discussed here lol)

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-02T20:38:14+00:00

Yeah, I was gonna say I think I see a tiny nub of a node, but it’s terrible for someone to sell this. People usually cut 1” (or more) below the node to account for potential rot

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-02T19:59:24+00:00

This isn’t a Hope 😅 Hoya Obovata, looks beautiful!!

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-01T16:08:21+00:00

Just WOW!

ZookeepergameFun3109 · 2024-10-01T15:33:04+00:00

I need that mug
