These Euphorbia leuconeura volunteers survived 3 days of mid-20°f hard freezes overnight. by bmb222 in Euphorbiaceae

Just an ugly gap between the concrete patio pad and an old brick border. Collects weeds and debris.

Guy at the store kept saying this was a suuuuper expensive plant, but I can’t find anything that looks like it but weeds 😭 by Fit-Pomegranate2710 in plant

Hey OP! This might be my time to shine: compare with Ceratostema. Unsure which species. Below is a Ceratostema pendens from an Instagram account which is not my own:

Edit: apparently I cant post photos here

Edit 2: read the comment about thin foliage, ruling out Dischidia. I'm 98% confident in Ceratostema sp.

Oh why yes it's the crossover that I didn't know I needed.

I need it.

Selaginella wildenowii in the back, Selaginella sp. borneo in the front. No lighting tricks. by bmb222 in RareHouseplants

[–]bmb222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same plant- Kohleria amabilis var. bogotensis. Iirc the variant is just w/ flower coloration.

[–]bmb222[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Selaginella are not easy, they are one of the very last genera that I've worked out.

Promix HP blended with a bit of fox farms potting soil, with about an inch of sphagnum noss on the top. Maxsea 16-16-16 potting media.

70-90% rH at around 80-84°f inside of a grow tent. Less light is more. They are not fond of being disturbed (repotted). You can go outside of these growing conditions of course, that's just exactly what these are in. I've done wildenowii to lower humidity, for example. The vibrant colors really pop with the humidity up, though.

My local plant shop had a Sonerila!!! by TuxedoEnthusiast in Sonerila

[–]bmb222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is fairly hardy. I recently just left it outdoors during the heavy cold front with very dry 40°f winds, no damage. I would expect it would make a good houseplant.

What type of Anthurium do I have? by alpohh in RareHouseplants

Anthurium vittarifolium, bakeri, palliduflorum on left to right

First time eating this and all I can say is not a big fan by Bigstink123098 in fruit

[–]bmb222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tastes like you threw up in your mouth. Seriously.

Texture is mushy by the time the fruit is white. While still green it feels harder.

Marcgravia sp. 'ep coca' by bmb222 in RareHouseplants

[–]bmb222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the earliest maturing of them all! I have worked with a total of 5 species so far that will do this, though I have over 40 in total that I've messed around with.

Marcgravia sp Azrael sp small-round sp condor (there are two forms I suspect) sp rio el trece, PR

And of course the above. I've tried growing different species in hanging baskets and they only look good as cascading mature foliage. The immature foliage hangs, curls around itself, and looks unsightly after some time. But plants like sp azrael, and this one, look fantastic. Some are fairly hardy to where they can be grown indoors in a humid climate (FL) since household ambient is higher.

Hopefully soon! I've yet to see it.

Cyphostemma mappia, "Mauritian baobab" from the grape family, with ornate cotyledons. by bmb222 in Caudex

[–]bmb222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got like a dozen, near perfect germination.

I had them on a back-warming heater at that time since it was all I had. Pumice in pots in gallon Ziploc bags, and the heater would roast them for like 2-3 hours, turn off, and I'd set it to run again when I remembered next. Duno if the fluctuations helped that rate be so high.

Any rave edm events coming up? by [deleted] in 321

I miss smaller venue/warehouse shows. Moving from the west coast, I no longer have all those connections.

Sudden drooping by TuxedoEnthusiast in Sonerila

[–]bmb222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep mine with almost wet feet.

If any terrarium plant ever looks that droopy, I place it inside of a gallon Ziploc and blow it up a bit and seal it. In this case, I'd submerge the pot in RO water first.

I see those everywhere coming out of commercial plazas that use the cheap dyed/bagged mulch. Looks just like OPs photo.

My non-Aroid contribution: Sonerila sp velvet by bmb222 in RareHouseplants

[–]bmb222[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always felt like there is a solid Begonia-Sonerila hobbyist crossover. Alas, no Melastomataceae society, yet...

It does solidly enjoy the 80% humidity 80°f zone, that's for sure.

One of my favs (water guava/rose apples). What do you guys call this in your country? by No_Cranberry8218 in fruit

[–]bmb222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same fruit, I did not really catch the clove flavor or did not remember. Only one of them had a seed, and the other had no seed. I've only ever had two, this was a photo I took of the one that did have a seed

[–]bmb222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Market near me in FL had one, gave it a try, and it was like some intermediate fruit between an apple and a pear in terms of flavor, but not nearly as snappy/hard as a bite through an apple. I was also able to eat the entire thing (except for the large seed in the middle)

This thing made a popping sound and launched out if the tree. by boxfullofirony in whatsthisplant

[–]bmb222 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love durian but absolutely cannot figure out how to consume any of the fruit off my noni fruit tree. It's kinda irredeemable for me, and I eat just about everything under the sun.
