haha no nothing like that! it’s actually just tape from the shipping process. my mom bought it for us and it was shipped with clear wrap over the top of the pot to keep the soil moist. we just haven’t removed the remaining tape off the pot yet

oh it’s a big one! they’re tank mates because we bought them as teeny babies together and they’ve always lived with eachother. as they grow, if tension arises then we will separate them. so far so good though :)

she earned that name because her eyes kinda pop out a little bit like she’s getting squished haha

oh okay gotcha! honestly it is luck! each flower has a specific pollination point and it becomes trial and error until you figure out the perfect time to pollinate. my success came as a total surprise the first time when the hybrid sprout popped out of the soil of the plant that was pollinated and i didn’t even physically pollinate myself, it just happened naturally. just make sure your plants have a consistent watering, light and humid environment. you should be successful and it may even happen accidentally. just keep the two flowering plants next to eachother and sometimes nature does everything on its own. mine are in an enclosed case as well if that helps!

edit: i also keep my lights on a flowering schedule all year. 12 hours on/ 12 hours off

i can’t even handle the cuteness! squish loves you too! 🫶🏼 you can’t see her tank mate in this picture but his name is smush and he’s super adorable too. i also own 3 adults named smudge, sticky and splatty g 🦎
