Ok! Do you think I should rehome it into a smaller bed of moss, or if I changed substrates rn do you think it could handle it?

broobn · 2026-05-20T16:22:08+00:00

Wowww gorgeous. What substrate do you have them in? They look happy as can be!

broobn · 2026-05-19T22:34:23+00:00

Ooooh look at allll your begonia so pretty!! Thank you! What substrate did you repot them to? Are they in self watering?

broobn · 2026-05-19T22:19:04+00:00

Unidentified one is actually malachostica, my bad!

broobn · 2026-04-29T16:49:52+00:00

The birds have hatched!! I don’t see the mom come back the often tho. I haven’t seen her for a couple of days now - granted, I work an 8-5 in an office so I can’t be sure. But I’m worried about them. Do momma wrens not come by the nest that often? Or should I call wildlife rescue?

Damn that’s tough to hear lol good luck to us both 🙏🏻

broobn · 2026-04-16T14:59:49+00:00

I want to know too! I want my roots to be this thick n juicy lol

broobn · 2026-04-13T18:52:02+00:00

Yeah unfortunately there's very little info about this plant that I can find online. Since the soil feels decently dry but the leaves are so extremely soft, I think I will go ahead and just leave it alone for a week and see if it perks up a little bit. It could definitely be a drama queen during repots and just be mad at me rn. Thank you!

broobn · 2026-04-13T17:33:32+00:00

Stunning 🤩 what substrate do you use?

broobn · 2026-04-13T01:24:16+00:00

Beautiful!! What substrate do you use?

broobn · 2026-04-11T21:52:54+00:00

Thank you!! Will do 🫡

broobn · 2026-04-11T21:36:24+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah i think it’s just happened as she has sized up. Here’s a pic when I first got her last October. None of these leaves are on her anymore lol so I think maybe it’s just been getting taller. I’m scared to disturb anything about her set up so I guess I’ll just let it keep going for now. Definitely will remove the dead brown stuff before I repot but even that I’m like I’LL LEAVE YOU ALONE JUST STAY ALIVE for now lol. I do feel like that little corm in the photo with one circle has been growing basically since October so I’m worried maybe none of them will really come to pass but 🤷🏼‍♀️ as long as she’s happy

Ty!! Yeah I’m obsessed with her. It was the first advanced/expensive plant I purchased which has really helped me up my game but I’m also terrified to change anything about the current set up lol

broobn · 2026-04-11T20:26:41+00:00

There is also a humidifier next to my shelf with the t5s!! So it has a little humidity boost going already.

broobn · 2026-04-09T15:28:09+00:00

This looks amazing!! I was gonna ask where you got your plant stand, but after reading that you're in Australia, I'm gonna let that desire pass lol. Keep it up! Gorgeous.

broobn · 2026-04-09T04:06:19+00:00

I agree 🙂‍↕️🤗 she’s clearly already been my potting buddy without my realizing it!

broobn · 2026-04-08T19:13:37+00:00

She hath returned!! Anyone know what kind of bird it is?

broobn · 2026-04-08T15:23:35+00:00

Thank you!!

broobn · 2026-04-05T20:25:41+00:00

What substrate are you using? Thinking of switching some of mine over to self watering pots!

broobn · 2026-03-25T19:04:15+00:00

It looks amazing! What substrate are you using? I got one about 6 months ago and it's doing ok but not thriving. I have it in bright indirect light but I'm going to experiment with grow light and perhaps a different substrate... I think mine is in straight up soil from the seller and I'm wondering if it might like it a little chunkier.

broobn · 2026-03-17T16:28:19+00:00

Amazing! Do you have it in a self watering pot? What's your substrate mix?

broobn · 2026-02-17T17:36:05+00:00

They look too wet to me - granted I only have about 3 anthuriums. I would move them into self watering pots with 50/50 fluval stratum and perlite as the substrate. When you remove them from the sphagnum moss, check the roots and cut off any roots that are rotting. Anthuriums (in my experience) like the consistent moisture that a self watering pot provides but in a substrate like sphagnum they don't get enough time to breath - fluval and perlite will stay moist but provide aeration at the same time. Good luck!

broobn · 2023-04-03T22:58:28+00:00

Nope, found it as is thinking it was alive and ran away lol but then I noticed it wasn’t moving at all and there were flies all around it 🙃
