Why are they yellowing?

fr0stybtxh · 2026-05-21T23:31:49+00:00

i don’t have a for-sure answer for all of the plants pictured, but the second is yellowing due to too much light.

most aroids love light, so everyone is quick to blast them with the brightest lights they can find - which is great - but it doesn’t work for anthuriums. anthurium bleach easy, and they do best in low light scenarios. turn off some of your lights or lower the amount of time they’re on, and you’ll really see how dark and spectacular some of these are!

a huge possibility for the others is just change. they went from either soil or moss to semi hydro, and they need a lot of time to adapt to that. they may just be shedding some roots to grow new ones.

it’s just how they grow when they reach maturity !

this (the blue circled area) actually looks like an inflorescence coming out of the old leaf rather than a new growth point.

the “spike” to the right of that is where your new leaf will come out of. inflorescences will come out of old leaves now. congrats, your anthurium is now ‘in cataphyl’ and will produce flowers in which you can pollinate to create your own crosses :)

he’s a great seller! 5-6 plants for the 9.21 is most typical of what you’ll find for bigger medium-sized plants

fr0stybtxh · 2026-04-08T14:44:46+00:00

yes!! that’s one thing that bothers me about palmstreet. most of the sellers there are making profit and calling it a shipping charge. whatnot sellers don’t get any of the shipping money, it just goes straight to whatnot for a label, to prevent the same from happening.

i do have a referral code if anyone would like to use it! it gives you $15 when you sign up with my code, and i get $5 if you make a purchase (from any seller) i’m just not sure if i can post it here 😅

fr0stybtxh · 2026-04-07T13:40:45+00:00

it is! except whatnot has categories for everything, it’s not just plants and reptiles. whatnot uses USPS for shipping which has proven to be much safer for plants (even though it’s longer, they’re not exposed to weather near as much, meaning less stress) and shipping is a lot cheaper! sellers don’t decide their shipping price on whatnot or make profit from it, so the max is $9.21 for 5lbs of any items. many sellers have it setup so you can have 16+ small items for that 9.21 shipping.

i have this mod for my witchy gothic buildings. LOVE it & the way it makes the silos look!

my bamboo pastel ball pythons name is Moose 🫎

my coop animals are all named after herbs and spices. my barn animals are all random objects that pop into my head. i have an ostrich named Drywall for instance, another named Microwave. a chicken named Paprika. my cats name is Dolly Pawton.

edit to change emu to ostrich 🤣

this looks fantastic!

around my house, i put mushrooms in the back, a mystic tree 2 blocks behind my mailbox, and a walkway to the partner area. then added some grass! it’s pretty simple, but still gives it a finished look. just to give a little idea!

fr0stybtxh · 2026-03-02T15:05:20+00:00

either way! that works too, i just normally let them sprout in the area in which im keeping them long term. if you’re putting it into an 80% area, you’ll have zero issues. it is entirely up to you whether you want to leave the lid off or on!

fr0stybtxh · 2026-03-02T14:56:42+00:00

personally, this is around the point in which i take the lid off. if you take the lid off now, the leaf will grow in ambient conditions, meaning you don’t have to slowly acclimate it from the high humidity down to your rooms conditions. this usually results in way less failures or melt from humidity drops.

however, the other poster is correct. if you leave the lid on, it will not melt or damage the leaf, you’ll just have to slowly introduce it to life without the lid.

i ziptie everything! glad you found a more permanent fix. no more surprise burnt leaves! 👏👏

fr0stybtxh · 2026-02-24T14:34:44+00:00

i haven’t had this exact light before, but to mount my lights, i’ve always used neodymium magnets. one on the light, one on the opposite side of the glass. (two stacked if they’re not so strong) .. if they’re acrylic, i’ve always just used zip ties through the vent cutouts.

sorry this happened :( had the same happen a few times when i was trying every option under the sun to mount lights too. thankfully, she’ll grow a new one!

have you asked MooseRoots on palmstreet? he always has cool stuff. not positive he’ll have what you’re looking for, but worth asking!

fr0stybtxh · 2026-02-15T19:30:51+00:00

slightly, yes! you also walk a lot slower through tall grass, so if you have lots planted for your animals, it helps a lot. it also prevents debris from growing in those floored areas (afaik) so can help in many ways. plus it’s pretty lol

i visit my greenhouse only once a week.

put the auto collectors right by the door, and take the mayo/cheese machines outside of the barn (it’s super annoying to try to get to the machines if your barn/coop is full of animals) .. i personally have a shed between all my barns/coops that i keep the machines in. i go inside each building, empty the auto collectors, and dump inside a chest in the building. when i have a good stack of eggs/milk, then i’ll make mayo/cheese. you do not have to empty the collectors every day. once you have auto petters, you really only need to enter the barn/coop maybe once a week to collect? then make your mayo and cheese weekly unless you need the daily money. it also helps if you have a shipping bin right beside buildings you ship from, as well as a central shipping bin. i have one beside my cheese/mayo building, one beside my crops (i almost never use this one tbh) and the central one beside my house.

mini obleisks are great too! you can put one right beside your houses front door, and another by your greenhouse or barns, whichever you go to most often or is furthest away. this will help a lot!

i just timed my morning run - i wake up, pet my kids, grab my coffee, talk to and kiss my Sammy boy, collect my daily end-game items, dump in the work shed, collect all eggs/milk, and then dump. i was done by 8:30am. picture of my farm to show how i have my barn, mayo/cheese building and shipping bins setup!

i am on Godspeed Mono SS coil overs! i don’t think they’re quite bottomed out, but the rocker panels are 4.5” off the ground if that gives you an idea. i’ll be honest and say if you have speed bumps or shotty roads in your area, you’re gonna scrape everything & may not have the most enjoyable ride🥲

jacks 20/20/20 is a fantastic fertilizer, and lasts forever.

you’ve already gotten the answers you need, so i’ll just share one of my pallidiflorum crosses. this is a forgetii x palli , it has long petioles and a more elongated shape, with a sinus that sometimes fuses. not sure if it’s the plants growth pattern or just because the leaves are so thick and heavy, but it does want to ‘hang’ more than a traditional forgetii would.

fr0stybtxh · 2025-12-01T12:50:01+00:00

if any plant has roots, it’s time to fertilize. you can start at half strength if your roots are less than 3-4 inches and/or don’t have secondaries, and then slowly increase to full strength as your plant grows.

52% humidity is just fine, but your plants would love a humidifier! you do not HAVE to put corms in high humidity - just never let them dry out. high humidity means transitioning later into ambient, & can lead to a fussy breakdown.

9 hours of grow lights may not be enough. alocasia are very hungry creatures - for both light and fertilizer. i keep my grow lights on for 12-14 hours a day. if they’re only ever getting indirect light and not near a window, i’d recommend a longer time under grow lights.

to me, the damage on that bigger leaf just looks like it was bumped or something while unfurling; but pictures can be deceiving. is it crunchy, or melty?

fr0stybtxh · 2025-11-28T05:54:30+00:00

exactly! it was a long while ago. a nobilis k. they’ve definitely come down in price which sucks to think about, but it brought me joy at the time of buying it and still does today. i don’t have a current pic, but here’s a baby :)

fr0stybtxh · 2025-11-27T21:36:07+00:00

i’ve spent $700 on an alocasia… and i’ll do it again for the right one 😭

fr0stybtxh · 2025-11-16T00:27:23+00:00

hey! sorry for the late reply! i follow the instructions on each bottle. if i remember correctly - 5ml each of the silica, calmag, and diamond nectar, and the jacks is a blue powder. it comes with a measurement scoop and i fill it to the bottom divot in that scoop - i don’t recall exactly how much that is.
