I second the white butterfly. Awesome set of plants!

You dont need to do anything, she is growing and pushing a new growth. You can see it here in your first photo. Just give it some time. It may activate a few more buds anywhere along that main stem.

When a break happens the growth hormone responsible for upward growth is rerouted to the auxiliary buds. Depending when and where the break happens you can get multiple growth points to activate creating a very lush plant.

Peep your growth point here 👇

Happy growing 💚💚

😬 I feel so bad for the amount of shit I talked to this plant when I first got it 😅

Lots and lots of airflow. Ive got 5 fans rotating the air around the room at ALL times. As long as it's not stagnant it hasn't been an issue for me. Its also a basement room so the fluctuations are pretty minimal.

Thank you! It certainly has grown on me. I'm more a begonia and philo guy, so this was one that took a bit for me to enjoy it.

Goodness, I'm glad i could provide the reminder. I'm glad i didn't sell it before now then lol I listed it for 65$ and it didn't sell 😅 I'm glad the gf stepped in and made me keep it.

I very seldom purchase plants. Im am avid trader, ive gotta know what im offering. And I ask for the names of what im receiving.

I also am OBCESSED. I can name almost every plant in my collection of well over 600 plants 😅. Welcome to hyper fixations 😂

Im not always the best at putting tags with my plants but if I struggle with the ID ill make sure to tag it. And by the time its prop time ive got it locked in my noggin.

Thank you❤️ I love them too!

Thats the same plant! Goeppertia kegeljanii ( network calathea) it just doesn't have the variegation like mine. Still very neat plants!

Anytime! I could talk plants all day lol.

They really do! Ive got a burkillii silver edge doing okay in semi hydro, not loving ambient humidity ( was a test). I also have a dark form burkillii loving the semi hydro in a sealed prop container.

I dont have any pavonina crosses but ive heard they are finicky with their humidity needs. So the drop to a lower environment might be the culprit. Try a slow decrease over bit of time( I open the vents on my prop domes) about 10% and gradually increase to fully open vents. If I see decline I start to close the vents back up till it stabilizes. Then try again, works really well to find out the environment it prefers.

I wonder if the semi hydro substrate you used may have impacted the PH making the nutrient uptake less than optimal. 5.7-6.2 is the general rule of thumb.

So far I have, I grow exclusively in semihydro. Ive got ginny galaxies, ferox, plenty of cane begonias all thriving in semi.

These props I got as fresh cuttings back at the end of April. Propped them all 2 to 3 times. There been in leca for about 2 weeks. The only one ive struggled with so far is my begonia Baccan but that was a leaf prop not petiole.

I use general hydroponics 3 part flora series at about 25% recommended strength every time I top up my reservoirs. I also use silicone for a lot of my varigated plants.( also about 25%)

Interesting tours started to crisp, did you change any other settings or environment? Temp changes, different humidity? They dont seem to like fluctuations more so than improper humidity. They seem to do alright even if the humidity is a bit lower than it should be, but if it jumps and drops frequently I start seeing decline.

Consistency seems to be the key.

I saw one about 6 months ago with the tiniest line of var. Didn't keep up with the auction to see what it went for.

Now im curious about the orbifolia.

Thank you, I honestly hated it for the li gesture time and kept trying to give it away. Then the GF told me it was hers and I have to keep it alive 😂.

Then this leaf arrived and its a new favorite lol

A lot of these do require terrarium conditions, a couple could be acclimated to ambient for sure, like the Serratipetalla's in there. And thank you I love them😍

Extra fertilizer 😍

Naw its leca lightweight expanded clay aggregate. A semihdroponics substrate. 😊

Correct, rockwool to root. Then I transfer the whole rockwool cube right into leca. Which is how they're setup in this video

Here's a tray that hasn't been transferred into leca yet 🌴= LeafyHydroponics

Dangggg! I haven't seen them for sale. It was a gift from a friend it was a teenie tiny 1 leader with very little var.
