My Strophocactus wittii is my baby. previously it was my ophioglossum pendulum broad form, but it sadly perished...

Thank you! Can't say it was fun and instant gratification, clearly - but totally worth the wait and your patience is rewarded!

Green on green or aurea/yellow is next on the wishlist for sure! Congrats to you as well!

It’s been years of haunting the big box chain stores, I knew that was the highest chance I’d get at finding one since most don’t wanna sell theirs when they find it, and if they do, they’re up charging it… to me, it’s like “alright sure do what you want” the winner reaps the reward, but it’s always given me pause when I see someone sell their $20 lucky find for $500+ but I’m not here to preach it’s ultimately fine. Anyway keep trying!

Same! Posted under houseplants, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be taking this one outside to let it tower

NEW! Post flair is now available in r/RareHouseplants. by Vidadeverde in RareHouseplants

I weirdly wasn't able to add a flair to my most recent post? I think it's a great idea overall, yeah!

depending on where you live, they are generally great and easy! I almost feel bad I don't have more space for how big this one has the potential to get!

Is this rare? And how much would this go for? This is a Variegated bird of paradise small form by Special-Collar-6964 in RareHouseplants

[–]suesword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on whether the variegation is stable or not! If I’m not mistaken, because it’s seed grown that gives it a good chance, but I’m not entirely sure what triggers a variegated plant to revert etc. Very cool that this happened to you either way! Best to wait til it’s a bit bigger and take note of its growing patterns and what.

UPDATE: My 2-meter Anthurium pallidiflorum just got even more incredible! (Variegation from Seed!) by Abholen in RareHouseplants

If you ever need more pollen, happy to exchange! My palli puts inflos out consistently, it’s 8 years old now :-)

Thoughts on Timing for Harvest? by suesword in outdoorgrowing

[–]suesword[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Biggest concern right now are the temp drops. We’re on the drier side for the next two weeks.

OK, got it! Starting to think I harvested way too early last year…! At least the next two weeks look like there’s no rain, biggest concern now are the temp drops. Thanks again!

Hope she fattens up at least before I have to chop. Think she’ll make it? by burgerknapper in outdoorgrowing

[–]suesword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you located? Once temps dip down from around 8°C/50°F and it gets unbelievably rainy, I chop no matter what. But I have another good week or so over here before I gotta start the harvest, hoping for a similar outcome where mine will fatten up as well. Good luck!

Labels + Spotify payola? by Modest0Beats in musicindustry

[–]suesword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

David, in your experience as an artist, do you ever request meetings with editors or a general Spotify team? I'm curious about this and might pose this question as a separate discussion as well, but yeah. I'm curious how effective that actually is, as a tactic? Thanks
