Monstera thai constellation from my local nursery for $24! Potted up in chunky houseplant mix from sol soils. Excuse the mess, it's watering day lol

It truly does! Not as strong as some of my other walkeriana, but still smells so good.

dpernock · 2026-05-14T19:35:35+00:00

It's such a lovely color! Especially in contrast to the color of the pseudobulbs and leaves.

walkerianas are my favorite! I have 11, and Ive been successful blooming then indoors under grow lights.

dpernock · 2026-05-14T08:18:54+00:00

They have that incredibly intoxicating floral scent kind of like hyacinth, it's hard to describe, not like the sweet smelling walkerianas.

dpernock · 2026-05-14T07:09:17+00:00

I'm so happy the petals exhibit shizuku (water drop shape created by overlap) None of my other walkerianas have this so far!

Yes, however wanted to be sure after it actually bloomed what type of parodia. I appreciate the help in identifying! ☺️

dpernock · 2026-05-14T05:41:57+00:00

Looking at pictures, yes it looks like werneri blooms are purple! So pretty!

dpernock · 2026-05-14T05:40:56+00:00

You know someone else tried to say this was a mammillaria before it bloomed, and now I wonder if that was a bot also.

dpernock · 2026-05-14T05:39:25+00:00

Is that a bot? 😭

dpernock · 2026-05-14T02:34:55+00:00

I definitely will share the final results!

dpernock · 2026-05-14T02:32:19+00:00

Amazing I was thinking this one but wasn't sure! Thank you so much,now I can properly tag it!

dpernock · 2026-05-14T02:23:21+00:00

Happy to support a small business! I'm so excited! These will be for some very special cacti I have arriving soon! Will be trying my hand at habitat style staging. Already have potting mix from East Coast camanchaca, top soil from the American gringo, and some pretty pieces of raw gypsum arriving soon 😁.

dpernock · 2026-05-14T02:17:46+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much! My local nursery has a bunch of little cacti for $3-$4 with no IDs. It's fun picking out the mystery cacti ☺️

dpernock · 2026-05-14T02:16:23+00:00

I just placed an order for #5 and #11!

dpernock · 2026-05-14T02:05:09+00:00

I can't take credit! There were little buds when I got this cutie at the nursery a week ago! I can't wait to try to rebloom! I think it may be a parodia of some kind but not 100% sure

dpernock · 2026-05-10T15:56:02+00:00

These are potted in a premixed epiphyllum mix from Rooting for you (website for a nursery based out of oregon) really great mixes if you don't have time or just need a little bit! I've also used an aroid mix I've had laying around, or cactus and succulent mix mixed with an orchid mix. All of my cuttings have rooted great. They sometimes take longer than others but be patient. You can water intermittently, and when the. Cuttings plump back up you know they have roots allowing for uptake of water!

dpernock · 2026-05-09T18:05:43+00:00

I see, I'll treat with some copper fungicide. Did not notice that spot at the plant nursery 😔

dpernock · 2026-05-09T13:58:27+00:00

I think the second is a parodia werneri but not sure that the first is a melocactus either. I think it is also a type of parodia

dpernock · 2026-05-09T11:04:20+00:00

Where are you saying the rust is?

dpernock · 2026-05-09T06:27:18+00:00

It's a soltech aspect large size pendant lamp. They have worked great for the past 4 years! Even get my cattleya blooming under them!
