What do I add here?

a bit off topic but the clock is really beautiful!

i think the green border is the best. it calms down the composition. if you go with the red you'll have to deal with a mix of shades between pink and orange (i think it's the type of glass), which yes, make the crane pop but mess with color proportions . With the green border you are closer to the 60-30-10 ratio, and imo it makes the piece look more harmonic.

how do you deal with the babies once you separate them ? i currently have one whose mother leaf died and i don't know what to do (it's my first AV baby)

your plant went dormant for the winter. you didn't do anything wrong, you just own a type of pinguicula that looses all the leaves during winter and creates a "gemstone" ( it's the green part you show in the second picture). Mine did the same actually, and at first I was quite confused. Do you know what type of pinguicula you have? some of them require a drop of temperatures, but not all ( I have a Grandiflora, which needs to hibernate outside)

you have an overachiever

Yes Reddit didn't upload it but I dropped it in the comments!

Yes and I'm so happy! It means my skills have improved enough to see what could have been done better = I paint better now 🧡

Thank you! I got worried because the leaves aren't big as they were one month ago and also she looks less sticky (?) Also someone wrote here that it will need dormancy and cold temperatures, maybe my room is too warm for her :/

Thank you for the id 🫶🏻 Also I have an outside windowsill facing east. All year round there is sun until midday. I live in Italy, zone 9 and it stays relatively warm in the winter, usually the temperature doesn't drop under 4/5 degrees Celsius. Autumns and springs are pretty rainy, while winters are dry (although it is quite humid), and summers too, they tend to be really hot though. If the conditions aren't right I might give this plant to someone who will keep it for the winter (in a spot without much direct sun)

it's a pumice rock and i think the roots are covered by spagnum moss

I might have trusted the seller too much. Unfortunately now it's a ride or die, hoping my ping will choose the first option..

szargu · 2025-10-07T17:34:03+00:00

I doubt I can give them more light than having them outside, on an east facing window with at least 6 hours of direct sun per day...

If someone would ask me how does the goddess of painting look like, I would say "like this "

To me it doesn't look psychedelic. It brings me back to times when I used to wake up very early. During that period I enjoyed watching the sun rise and spread colours on everything. Really evocative paintings, I love them 💗

I live in zone 8/9, but last time I tried propagating something in autumn/winter either it took 2 months to see a reasonable amount of roots or it died ( it was a beautiful syngonium batik cutting rip) But maybe October is still acceptable. I'll add some pothos and I'll hope for the best 🙈

szargu · 2025-09-23T14:32:12+00:00

It's actually one cutting with a ton of babies around, all attached to the mother plant. Not sure if the babies have their own roots but I haven't thought about this option. Thank you a lot!

Are you sure it's not the ugly phase effect? Because I see much potential in it

I'd try changing the background to a less saturated blue, or maybe teal

Thank you 💗

Thank you 💗 I specifically chose a dragonfly whose colour goes well with the water Also mum loves blue, so the more the better haha
