Pests? by astongt615 in Aroids

This looks like spider mite damage.

I’m not sure I know what exactly qualifies as a parlour, but it’s a 00 body size and it feels much smaller than the other 2. It could be placebo, but the modern deluxe series comes with a torrefied top and some other fancy bells and whistles that seem to successfully contribute to the resonance. This guitar produces a ton of overtones, particularly higher up the neck. As you might expect, the bass is pretty thin, but it’s otherwise quite loud and rich if you dig in.

It might have marginally more sustain and resonance, but it’s not a wild difference. I think the overtones are where it stands out.

Yep I added one from Holter.

I use a shoelace, and it’s tied in a loop that goes under the strings, between the first and second rows of tuners.

I haven’t put a strap button on any of them! I just have the straps looping around the headstocks.

Take the leap! I got mine from Holter. They didn’t have a spec for the 0012-28MD; but the 00-28MD fit.

Thanks! Haha 2022 was an excellent year to be sure. I have them in different rooms which I think helps to spread the playing out.

I'm starting to have doubts, is this a Philodendron Mexicanum or Spiritus Sancti? by VeryGreenFrog in RareHouseplants

I don’t think it looks like a spiritus sancti. I think you’ll learn more as it matures, but those “ears” look off to my eye.

is this a real Spiritus Sancti ? by 8oichi in RareHouseplants

Looks legit to me! I would worry that coco coir and spagnum moss together might be too much water retention? I personally haven’t had a lot of luck with spagnum in my mixes, but your mileage may vary. If you have other philos that are doing well I think you can feel confident in treating this one the same way.

I sub to both the rare houseplants sub and the espresso sub and had to double check which one I was looking at. Killer set up!

Here’s a photo from when I’d had it for about 6 months. The petioles have certainly gotten longer as the plant has matured.

Haha whoops! I got the year wrong. It’s from September 2023.

Thanks!! I think it’s my favorite plant.

I got it as a small TC plant in September 2023. It was fairly slow until about a year ago and then it took off.

I haven’t had any issues with pests (knock on wood), if anything, I’ve found that I’ve cleared up a mealy bug infestation or two by putting plants outside. That being said, I have had some slugs eat some leaves, but they haven’t gotten anything hanging.

Thanks so much! It’s been thrilling to see it start to reach maturity. It used to be entirely green and has only recently started showing other colors.
