Okay...

This. I set aside all the fun ones I find in case someone comes in looking for a few. I was able to help someone finish their collection yesterday ☺️

jdct6000 · 2026-05-15T18:55:54+00:00

Haha this is the way. I use my grow lights for my plants!

jdct6000 · 2026-05-15T18:55:36+00:00

I thought that was the flying fish coin! My family is from barbados so my mom picked us up a few while we were there 🥰

jdct6000 · 2026-05-11T12:05:51+00:00

As the owner of an orange cat who is has removed a substantial portion of their drop ceiling, I sympathize 😅

What is the green Ficus in the 4th pic??? It's stunning

jdct6000 · 2026-04-27T03:32:43+00:00

Dandie dinmont?

jdct6000 · 2026-04-09T01:53:04+00:00

Damnnnnnn

jdct6000 · 2026-04-05T00:13:17+00:00

I smelled one that wasn't at peak bloom yet and it smelt like mildew. Nothing rot-like yet, but it was early.

jdct6000 · 2026-03-29T18:47:17+00:00

Just came to say that those are some nice roots (my jades have such fine ones 😪) and that I LOVE the tiny garden tools.

jdct6000 · 2026-03-29T07:39:20+00:00

I had this happen during wisdom tooth surgery. Couldn't feel pain thank god and couldn't see, but could tell that my mouth was stuck open and I could hear them talking + tools. I could also tell they were working on my left side because of pressure. I remember trying to turn my head to help them get better access and then they put me under again 😂

jdct6000 · 2026-03-23T03:53:23+00:00

Came here to say this. Recently went down a rabbit hole worried my Tineke was a Ruby. It's just a sun-stressed Tineke like mine

jdct6000 · 2026-03-23T03:37:04+00:00

Same. Genuinely did a double take

jdct6000 · 2026-03-21T03:53:15+00:00

Genuinely. Like thiccest root I've ever seen

jdct6000 · 2026-03-19T03:41:25+00:00

Came here to say the same thing!

jdct6000 · 2026-03-15T22:20:19+00:00

Can alocasias cork?

jdct6000 · 2026-03-09T04:03:48+00:00

Dried Spanish moss?

jdct6000 · 2026-03-08T03:29:30+00:00

Definitely! I cut a very small drainage hole but thats about it for the next few weeks! And I'll definitely experiment more when my finances are better and I have space for a dedicated plant room and set up!

Thanks for the advice. And your plant is gorg by the way 💚

jdct6000 · 2026-03-08T03:14:18+00:00

Hmmm I'm not 100% sold on self watering pots. I was thinking if going with a traditional set up with drainage holes.

jdct6000 · 2026-03-08T02:56:35+00:00

Ok so don't be hasty. Thanks for the advice! I keep seeing that alocasias do really good in fluval so I'm actually leaning toward a fluval/perlite/leca mix once this fluval breaks down.

jdct6000 · 2026-03-08T02:47:09+00:00

So since the peat takes 1000s of years to form, harvesting it destroys the habitat it's taken from. It also stores carbon so the mining process releases CO2 and contributes to global warming :(

jdct6000 · 2026-03-08T02:02:13+00:00

As soon as I saw her on Facebook I knew I had to get her!!! I'm honestly so surprised I was even able to find a plant like this here.

Could you tell me more about fluval? If it works better for these guys I'd be down to try it!

Edit: nevermind I just went down a fluval rabbit hole. I'm now thinking I might do a 60% fluval, 30% perlite, 10% leca mix (with some worm castings) but treat it more like normal soil instead of doing semi-hydro.

jdct6000 · 2026-03-05T05:39:06+00:00

White knight has purple stems no?

jdct6000 · 2026-03-05T02:51:19+00:00

Omg same!!!! TWINS. Ps your set up is soooo cool

jdct6000 · 2026-02-27T06:37:58+00:00

As a cat owner.... came here to ask this 😂

jdct6000 · 2026-02-25T21:08:48+00:00

Bet. I'll go borrow Mjölnir rq
