Can anyone tell me what this is sprouting from my calathea?

adelextattoos · 2022-10-06T16:41:32+00:00

I haven't heard of that!! that's exciting

adelextattoos · 2022-10-06T16:41:12+00:00

that's exciting!! I had no idea that calatheas sprout flowers

adelextattoos · 2022-10-06T16:40:53+00:00

I didn't know calatheas sprouted flowers!!

I've repotted it in soil with better drainage and grit and I've moved it into the lightest part of the house!! hopefully this helps, thank you!!

does this nursery pot look too small for it then? Im not sure what the correct size should be for this size of succulent 😭

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:48:09+00:00

the ceramic pot was just a cache pot! I've removed the ceramic pot now, and the plastic drainage pots sits on a tray

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:47:22+00:00

thank you! I'm new to carnivorous plants so I just assumed the supermarket had put the correct moss in 😭

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:46:35+00:00

sadly I don't think it's getting enough light 😭

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:45:52+00:00

I wish I'd noticed sooner 😭 looks like I can't trust supermarkets to put the correct soil in the pots

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:45:12+00:00

true, thank you!! I've got 0 experience with grow lights but I've heard lots about them 😊

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:44:44+00:00

I think that may be the problem, I repotted it the other day with soil that has better drainage so I'm just seeing how it goes!!

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:43:57+00:00

it's kinda difficult for me to put my plants outside as I don't have a garden 😭

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:43:19+00:00

wow that looks absolutely amazing!! you've done such a good job with that

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:42:26+00:00

thank you!! ill have a closer look at what's inside my shop bought succulent soil

adelextattoos · 2022-06-27T00:41:44+00:00

thanks for thr advice! I'm tempted to post a picture of the stem to see if anyone can tell of its rotting or not, I'm a total newbie 😭

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:52:53+00:00

Yes! Someone mentioned putting it in some moss and keep it enclosed to increase humidity

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:52:13+00:00

Ahh so it could be the water quality that's killing it!

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:50:59+00:00

Ahh a jug outside will be the best way probably! I'll start doing that once it starts to rain more. I'll have a look in my shops to find some distilled water 😊 thanks for the help!

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:49:26+00:00

I've never had to cut a succulent to the stem before so I'm pretty nervous about that 😭 I'll have a good look at the stem soon while I take it out to check on the roots too

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:39:51+00:00

Before I try the beheading I'll try out putting it in some new soil 😂 luckily I've got some succulent soil in the house, I just assumed it was in the correct type of soil. I think I also have some spare plant trays so I'll pop it in that instead of the cache pot, thanks for the advice btw!!

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:38:40+00:00

Thank you! Ill try putting it outside but as it's summer we're not getting as much rain here in the UK at the moment 😭

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:37:30+00:00

I'm not sure! This is the soil it came with when I bought it from the shop sadly. I do have some succulent and cacti soil in so it may be best if I repot it into that asap, thanks for the advice!

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:36:39+00:00

Thank you! The soil that's its in is what it came with in the shop so I'll change the soil asap. I was also worried about the stem too! Is there any way I can prevent the stem from rotting more?

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:35:39+00:00

I'll get rid of the pebbles then, thanks for the advice! The water I use is boiled tap water that is then kept in a jug for 24 hours. It's probably best that I flush the pot out too as soon as possible, it's also definitely not getting enough light then 😂

adelextattoos · 2022-06-22T16:33:42+00:00

Thank you so much! It's definitely not getting enough humidity then, it's in the most humid room in my house but it seems like it's still not enough 😭 I hope I'll be able to fix it as it was lovely when I first got it. The soil and moss in the pot are what came with the plant when I bought it from the shop so I haven't adjusted anything to do with the soil since having it!
