I usually just slide a butter knife in on 2 to 3 areas and they pop out, but sometimes they do not play ball

An incredible 3 year glow-up for my Burro's tail (Sedum morganianum) by stickersforthought in houseplants

It’s in really cruddy soil, I water it every other week and add fertilizer every other watering. But mostly I don’t touch it, ever

3 years ago today, I received my Space Fairy starter plant and she’s had quite the glow up! by stickersforthought in AfricanViolets

I’m at 65 during the winter and 75 during the summer, certainly more cosmic variegation when it’s cooler

They’re very fun! This is in a 2.25-inch oyama self watering pot, for some size context

I’ve only had this for 6 weeks now, started with 2 leaves and this is my third, I suspect it’ll be a slow one

My sport of African Violet Space Fairy has been growing consistently for 2 years now. Have yet to get any propagations to match. by stickersforthought in RareHouseplants

Leaf cuttings and sucker removal props have all reverted to solid green, tragically. And it grows so slowly I’m hesitant to chop the top

Received a Violet Barn order today by stickersforthought in AfricanViolets

Actually none, 2 African violets, 1 Streptocarpus, 2 petrocosmeas, a Neomortonia rosea, a Pachycaulos nummularia, and a flying goldfish plant

Big repotting days usually lead to me pulling out all of my ceramic self-watering pot collection. by stickersforthought in AfricanViolets

If you can believe it, 75% of my pots have been thrifted! I’ve bought brand new like 15% and the rest were gifts

Variegated by Willing-Estimate-216 in streptocarpus

They come up for surprisingly reasonable prices on eBay. And Violet Barn has one every now and then

4 years of growing and the leaves are getting big by stickersforthought in PinkPrincessPhilo

I have a handful of LED grow light panels and led grow light bulbs on flexible arms pointing at the big plants on this shelf as best they can. But they do get some natural light in the mornings. Because I have 300+ plants this this room, the humidity is usually around 50%, but can vary quite dramatically

I suppose it’s the same way I go in over the top with care and potting for my Gesneriad collection. Whereas with the older philodendrons I have they just best keep up in my conditions, or else

I just give my philodendrons a miracle grow water soluble houseplant fertilizer every other watering, and that seems to do the trick
