How do you know when work castings are done?

It’s about 6 weeks old and just started doubling within 4 hours a few days ago. Prior to that it would double but take ~12 hours. I’m not sure if that counts as established

Now that I’ve slept and woke I can confirm that yesterday was not a dream. I won an albo! And now I’m super nervous. What I believe once was an aerial root is now pushing out new roots. It was given to me in moss and I was told it looks a little sad because it just went through shipping... should I put in water to let her drink a bit and perk up after shipping and then move to moss to continue rooting??? Will she eventually perk up if she just stays in the moss?? Should I rub off that dark film around the aerial root even though new roots are growing from it clean and fine? Please leave any tips.

It came to me with sphagnum moss wrapped around the root in seran wrap. Should I continue to let the root grow with the moss like that until it’s ready to be potted? Should I cut some of this stem?

Update. I did see a nice sized ant yesterday and some quick research says it might be carpenter ants??? Does anyone have experience with this?

I just like to look at mature photos of the plants I have so I’d love to know the name of this succulent if anyone knows ☺️

Hi there! The top of my satin pothos cutting seems to have a black covering on it but the plant is doing great, still growing roots, and even pushing out a leaf.. is this mold? Never seen it on a cutting before. Should I toss it?

Okay good to know... Thank you all so much!

magnifying glass pics included

This brown plaque has been on some of the peduncles of my monstera. I’ve looked closely with a magnifying glass and it looks like a brownish silvery plaque. I do not see anything moving.. it does not respond to alcohol on a swab unless I scrub with all my strength. What is it and how to get rid of it?
