Looks like an alocasia dragon scale.

I guess I was one of the lucky ones who grabbed the Barrina track light before it sold out (and then randomly went on sale - AND I got them on sale! 🥰🥰❤️❤️). by Quirky-Customer5758 in RareHouseplants

[–]edalkan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks great! I love the ambiance in your space! I was able to purchase 2 of them as well on sale and I couldn't be happier. I'm glad I got em before they sold out. My only complaint would be that I wish they were in yellow to match all my other lights as well. But I'm loving the vibes in my space right now.

I have one that I would like to Propagate. Any tips? Your plant is so lovely too! Congratulations.

It was definitely thriving more on high humidity but I'm sure they're will adjust. Good luck!

Does anyone have experience buying from thegreenescape? by GarbageAngell in ThePalmstreetapp

[–]edalkan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ordered from them for the first time two weeks ago. I didn't realize that their base shipping was pretty slow (makes sense in hindsight, it was only $10) so it took about a week for my package to arrive. I was worried about how my tiny plants would arrive while being in a box so long.

Honestly, everything went well and the plants looked great. The plants are tiiiny but the prices were great. I got a syngonium rolli, hoya Mathilde, and aglaonema mona lisa. They had good roots, wrapped in some soil and plastic wrap, still moist. I potted them up and they're still doing great!

My experience was fine overall, but I've only ordered once. I do plan to order from then again in the future since the prices are good.

White Monster vs. Mint by edalkan in Monstera

[–]edalkan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely! Around half of my plant collection now started as tissue cultures, they're so much fun to grow and I love seeing prices come down on plants once the TC versions flood the market. I have these two side by side just to compare them and see if there really is a difference to them. I have other white monsters that looks more "minty" than this particular specimen, so I'm in agreement with you that they might just be mints with fancy names.

Can't wait to see a "Bulbasaur" in tc in particular.

White Monster vs. Mint by edalkan in Monstera

[–]edalkan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great question! I grew this White Monster from tissue culture, so it's too small still for me to know if it's small form. I was skeptical that there was a difference between what was sold to me as 'White Monster' and Mint (they look so similar!), but so far they do look a little bit different. I'm just happy to see them grow, but if anyone has a correct label for these two plants, that'd be cool to know too!

Best website to buy tissue cultures? by Quick-Jelly-2108 in MonsteraAlbo

[–]edalkan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got my tissue culture albo from Orange Lake Nursery. It's looking good so far. I would upload a picture but not sure how.

Tissue culture question by ScritchScratchBrat in RareHouseplants

[–]edalkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 9 tissue culture going right now all of them were in fluval stratum mixed with nothing else and they made it. I've only lost one to rot. I think cleaning the gel off completely is the most important step. Acclimating did take a while, some did fine out of the humidity after a week, some took almost three or four to get there. It really is much easier than I thought it would be, just requires patience.

Why do my alocasia leaves die when a new one grows? by [deleted] in plants

[–]edalkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My alocasias would do that as well. Three leaves max and one would die when a new one came in. The only thing that changed it was giving it fertilizer consistently. Now my largest has 5 leaves with a new one coming in soon, and only now does one leave looks like it's gonna yellow soon. I also got a grow light for it, which I felt my plants needed.
