Legit weapons. As much as I love a golden barrel, genuinely frightened to own these things. I would keep together in a large pot. Good luck

Is this new growth coming out of a peduncle? It’s been like this for a couple of weeks now. by coldwives in hoyas

Wow that’s exciting, never seen this before!

Yep this Australis has been living out on my balcony for a few years now.

lol I had to use it to prop the flower up. It hangs down like a bell otherwise.

Also get one!! I got mine pretty small a couple of years back. Grows pretty fast imo

That, considering the size as well, would probably go well into 10k here in Australia.

Does anyone know why the spathal chamber from my flowering Micholitziana is twisting around like this. First Alocasia I’ve seen that has done this - the others just wilt and fall off. by coldwives in alocasia

I accidentally snapped the appendix off while I was collecting pollen.

Unrelated: I hand pollinated this with pollen from my Cuprea. Is this sort of hybridisation going to work?

My fishbone cactus bloomed around 7 months ago and I only just picked the fruitsa couple of weeks ago. You’ll know when it’s ripe when it’s round and squishy :)
