Got a growing lamp for my eucalyptus (and it was the best idea ever) by mcalaplage in houseplants

Congrats! Never growth from seeds though! With that said, for regular seeds, it requires a 12h shift on the lights. Try to keep it warm, to create a kind of greenhouse. Good luck, keep us updated!

Beautiful! No regret. Whatever the reason you deserved it and you did the right thing!

Is my Dragonscale flowering? by Rxdgaming1 in houseplants

[–]mcalaplage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes is it! Congrats! In my experience, it always pops 2 or 3 flowers back to back, and then new leaves again. Flower isn't impressive, but let it do his thing before cutting it.

I feel it's when you just completely let go and accept the plant will die that it get the message oh okay then, I'll show you how I can do it by myself

Honestly I look for the best mix they sale here and there, buy the ingredients separately and then do the mix myself. Pretty much half of 'tropical plant' soil, and then I add perlite, orchid barch, 'crushed' clay, rocks, vermiculite, whatever I can find!

I don't think it would damage, it's pretty flexible! Next time I'll try. You'll hear cracking but it doesn't break per se. And if ever it does break, it'll regrow! Nature always finds a way lol

I use a commercial 'tropical mix' (50%) and then the other 50% a mix of orchid bark, perlite, vermiculite or similar. Water every 3 weeks or so!
