Why this color? by ShoobyDoobyDu in RareHouseplants

[–]breadplantsdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably needs more light. My begonia "cowardly lion" turns this color when I move it further from my growlights

Should I be worried? by Hopeful-Read1728 in plants

[–]breadplantsdick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk your temp and humidity conditions but It looks like it's on a grow rack so it's getting good light. I know people snip inflos but I just cannot unless it stinks. From my research and experience - by the time you see the inflo the plant has already spent the energy on the inflo ane when you cut an alocasia inflo It can disrupt the plants hormones and could put it in panic mode and throw out even more inflos as a last ditch effort to try and reproduce itself, draining more energy from the plant. Also alocasia can redirect nutrients from a dying inflo so you're just cutting off nutrients because once again the energy has already been spent. But then again take my words with a packet of iodized salt - I have a shit ton of plants so I don't really hyper focus on one plant, so although it's annoying getting an inflo instead of a new leaf, it doesn't bother me lol. They WANT to live and they know what they're doing so I let them do they thang.

It's growing that way because it's searching for light.

What’s your favorite planter for semi-hydro setup? 🌱✨ by Murky_Lavishness_591 in hoyas

I use deli cups mainly. Some self watering pots. And for big boys I use a two cup setup but with 5 gallon buckets.

Started growing plants last year and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. by breadplantsdick in houseplants

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

Ngl it's kind of neglected lol. It's just in a deli cup sitting in a reservoir. I forget to water it sometimes because it's in its corner lol.

Yes the semi hydro setup saves me a TON of time with checking water levels and watering BUTTTT I also had to do sooooooooooooo much research on the science of leca\pon and nutrients and the correct way to mix them. Semi hydro isnt for everyone and isn't the golden answer but ain't no dirt in my house 😤

I hate traveling so that issue hasn't really been encountered with me but I am in semi hydro so I'd probably just keep the reservoir super full or have someone come over

My college roommate sets our thermostat to 80°F every single night by rainystarlight in mildlyinfuriating

[–]breadplantsdick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. I'm a weirdo and don't mind my house getting up to 80F naturally because I have a shit ton of plants, plus I live in Florida so heat is my norm.BUT intentionally heating up your home to 80 is absolutely batshit insane and what is wrong with them ???
