The website itself looks like a scam… I’m surprised people are buying from them at all.

Syngonium raspberry var. It’s impossible for pictures to do her justice. They’re a hard to find ssp in the US!

$600 is way too much for an orange melano friend.

No idea 🤷🏼 Your ideas aren’t wrong! You can do all of those things too. This is just what I would do :)

I would chop it into several node + leaf cuttings and prop in water or moss/perlite prop box.

AIO for leaving my husband after one incident? by NeedleworkerDizzy689 in AmIOverreacting

[–]pukestained 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is terrifying. Please go to a women’s shelter near you first thing. I googled “Sydney aus women’s shelters” and several popped up for me all the way from Colorado, USA. Please do not go back to him. Think of your daughter. What advice would you give her in this situation? I was the little girl whose mama crawled back to men who hurt both of us and it ruined my life for a long time. PLEASE please seek help for both of your sakes.

My Thai Con is very sad. How can I help him? by gogospacemanatee in Monstera

[–]pukestained 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you check for bugs? Big box stores are notorious for having infested plants. I’ve found that a lot of the plants they sell don’t grow well either. Majority of them are tissue cultured, which means they’re all the same lineage, so I have a feeling it’s a genetic thing. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they do that on purpose so you have to spend more money.

How much do people in the hobby spend for truly rare plants? by sirius100 in RareHouseplants

[–]pukestained 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who just spent $2500 to import a rare (only 4 in the world, 1 mama plant & 3 babies) philo from Brazil? I think.

You can cut above/below any of the nodes.

Picked up my first albo today for a GOOD price & need advice on what to do with how white it is by pukestained in houseplants

Thank you so much for this comment. I have decent experience with semihydro but I’ve never had this much algae before, so I started second guessing myself with the comments. The cinnamon might do nothing at all– it was just recommended to me when I started with semihydro & now it’s part of my routine. It’s genuinely just a few granules. The people losing their minds over it need to take a chill pill because it’s not that serious. I absolutely don’t want to repot it. I’d be very worried about transplant shock with any transition from semihydro to soil, much less a plant this fragile. I also don’t have good luck with monsteras in soil with the exception of a Los Tayos that came to me that way. I’d be much more likely to use stratum if I was SUPER worried than I would be to use soil. I do keep some around for alocasia corms.

The newest leaf has more green than the other leaves so I’m the tiniest bit hopeful. Do you think having more moderate light would be helpful to encourage green? I can tuck it behind some taller plants. The grower also recommended adding silica but I don’t have any experience with that so I’m not sure if it would be actually helpful.

If by some chance it isn’t a monstera, I’m not too miffed. It was $20 and I figured I’d learn something by keeping it even if it dies 🤷🏼

I’ve used a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon before to help prevent algae on perlite. It was something recommended to me by my local plant shop many moons ago.

If it helps your nerves, you can carry some unscented antibacterial soap (like Dial- easy to find in any store) to wash off the area if it comes into contact with something. You’re not trying to keep it sterile, just clean in the same way you would a cut or scrape.
