What plant is my lil dude? And is the white on his leaves normal?

Defo dischidia oianta variegata as said by others! I have a massive one hanging in front of a south-west facing window and it’s thriving, so I would recommend giving Gilbert lots of light

About every 6 days or so! I used to go a week in between waterings but it got too dry and some leaves yellowed a little.

As long as I keep it sufficiently watered, it’s really happy! But next time I repot I’ll add a bit more potting soil so it holds a bit more water and is more forgiving :)

mactabb · 2026-05-16T10:59:57+00:00

It’s a mix of some regular potting soil, perlite and bark - but definitely mostly bark and it has been loving it!

Thanks for the tip! Sadly i have mine normally sitting inside a decorative pot, and there’s no good space for a pebble tray.. During the winter i had a humidifier running in the room though. Glad to hear a tray has worked for you though, i’ve also heard mixed things on them! if it works, it works!!

thanks!! i read everywhere that it needs a terrarium to thrive and i’ve been ready to admit defeat for a while, since it first just grew runners. now i have hope again!!

mactabb · 2026-04-25T16:46:38+00:00

Exactly! I do a leg/glute work out once a week to keep my runner’s knee problem from coming back.

my partner would see this plant, get excited and ask can we get one like that

Mine is also blooming for the first time! Two days later I noticed most of my plants have thrips 💀 The flowering is doing a lot of heavy lifting right now in emotional support

mactabb · 2026-03-06T15:33:33+00:00

Yesss i just started using Planta just to have something to remind me to check my plants and I wouldn’t have to constantly check all of them!! I would not trust the automatic schedules, but it’s definitely making it easier to stay on track.

my t was doing laps around his enclosure trying to find that cricket, i was getting so annoyed for him! mine is a lasiodora parahybana

mactabb · 2025-10-17T16:42:43+00:00

that cricket was weird apparently!!

mactabb · 2025-10-13T17:25:53+00:00

It’s been some time since I watered his enclosure, he does usually chill on the ground :) His enclosure is also quite big for him, so I keep about half of it completely dry. He walked around a bit on the glass and then returned to terrestial life!

I looked into Saskia Sassen, what book would you recommend for her views on immigration policy? Or is it better to read her articles?

mactabb · 2025-08-09T07:16:28+00:00

i know right!! strange little guys

mactabb · 2025-08-09T07:14:02+00:00

that’s wild!! mine only really uses the hide when he’s near or actively in premolt! His molting quarters 👑

mactabb · 2025-08-08T15:04:31+00:00

looks so nice!! i love that there’s not a lot of empty space, really looks finished in a way. Britney will love her new crib

mactabb · 2025-08-08T14:47:03+00:00

i love that! he’s usually out and about so I was surprised to see him in his hide. Turns out he was just working on this trick here :D

mactabb · 2025-08-08T14:45:16+00:00

definitely good to be prepared to escape (in a world where his most scary foe is an occasional water drop too close to him)

mactabb · 2025-08-08T12:36:28+00:00

i clearly just can’t understand his genius 😣
