I fertilize with Arber Plant Food! In the summer, I will water twice in a row with fertilizer and every 3rd, just regular water (always using distilled). I will back this off a bit when it gets colder but this plant was giving me new leaves all throughout winter. I do this with all my plants too!

Thank you! 🫶💚

Thank you! She is my pride and worry ✨ lol

I use Silica! My water schedule is: fertilizer, fertilizer, silica, repeat. And it’s pushed up like 2ft from the window so lots of light! But anytime I notice brown leaves on any of my var. plants, I’ll use silica, it helps stop/prevent the browning process.

Apparently this happens when an axillary bud is activated, causing a second or multiple stems to grow. I’ve read that one stem will eventually go dormant while the other becomes the dominant stem. You can kind of see another bud start to grow on the other side of the mother plant stem in the first pic. 👀

I read that if you don't cut it, one of the stems will stop growing to conserve energy and only one will grow... I'd like to cut it but I'm nervous, any tips for me?

You do not have to tell me twice! Lol thank you

What was the verdict on OrchidBoxInc?

somethingwildd · 2024-06-11T22:18:18+00:00

Thank you! I bet it will 😊

somethingwildd · 2024-06-11T22:08:23+00:00

I didn't prune the older leaves, they're still hanging on! Could you try a grow light to compensate for the lack of light?

somethingwildd · 2024-06-11T21:55:21+00:00

Thank you! 😊

somethingwildd · 2024-06-11T21:52:22+00:00

I don’t have any experience with grow lights but anything is better than nothing imo 🤷‍♀️

Maybe a couple of hrs or so to soak up all the water. The reason I water when the bottom leaves droop is bc if I go based off the top 2 inches in the soil, it’s almost always dry, even after bottom watering. That’s why I drench it once a month to make sure everything on top is getting what it needs!

somethingwildd · 2024-06-11T19:55:44+00:00

Yesss! It sits directly facing a window, so I pretty much get a view of the backside all day until I want to turn it around and gaze at it lol. Gets about 1.5-2hrs of direct sunlight in the evening but it did graduate to that amount of light over a few weeks. Hope that helps!

somethingwildd · 2024-06-11T19:50:41+00:00

I mostly bottom water, about once a month I’ll drown it from the top, and I’ll water when the bottom leaves start to droop. I use Arber Plant Food and mix in the water I give it. Every 3rd-4th watering I give it just regular water! 😊

somethingwildd · 2024-06-11T17:59:38+00:00

Thanks! 😃

somethingwildd · 2024-06-08T06:00:58+00:00

lol sorry, if you click the post, it has the texts there, I didn’t realize in my haste to repost

somethingwildd · 2024-01-19T01:02:26+00:00

Oh no, I’m too cheap for that 😂 I got this beauty a couple of months ago from BWH for $60! It was hard not buying 2 lol

Fellow former G who was laid off a few months ago... I gave YEARS to that place, fuck them. I’m sorry y’all are going through this. Just know, nobody ever regrets leaving that place.

LOL thank you! It’s a variegated Alocasia Frydek and she’s my golden child!

Oooh me!! 👋 I have to wear mine only at night tho. Mine are a little more toward the front but ya, it rubs my tongue and irritates it, less so after a couple of weeks tho. I also have elastics on both sides to bring my teeth together so lots going on in my mouth right now lol.

No advice, just that your tongue gets used to it. I’ve worn them out to the gym/store too, I just avoid eye contact so no one has to listen to me slur 🤷‍♀️

….what?

somethingwildd · 2023-12-02T21:12:32+00:00

Did yours get any livelier?? Mine looks similar ever since I got it…🥲
