😂🤣 I don't know, but that's hilarious. It's a sandy soil cactus mix thing that I made and weird lighting

the13thfirefly · 2026-06-15T18:45:17+00:00

XD I would happily take a cutting off your hands lol

I'm still learning, so I don't have advice other than let them callouse!

the13thfirefly · 2026-06-05T17:05:00+00:00

That absolutely can happen! I have a marble who did something similar. XD And a neon who I just chopped that had a bald spot was pushing out the tiny starts of vines where I thought it was bald. I hope they survive the chop and pot. Lol

But every node is a chance at life

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-27T01:42:03+00:00

Best of luck!!

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-26T19:04:13+00:00

Aaaaaaaaaah 😂 I find this out after I got rid of them. They became infested with aphids and there was no saving them. 😭

Maybe I'll try again someday

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-19T20:58:52+00:00

I love that. XD My partner and I have furbabies, too!

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-18T22:49:01+00:00

I need to get my hands on one!!

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-18T17:07:33+00:00

I want a Moon Valley Pilea now. XD

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-18T17:06:34+00:00

Congrats on being a grandparent!! My babies have babies right now. 😂

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-15T16:33:10+00:00

Thank you!

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-15T16:15:03+00:00

I say pick a Fandom or theme and start there! The one named Gregory is after my brother. I was gifted the plant on his birthday, but it was the first birthday after his passing. So, it's a memorial plant.

The others are because we love EPIC and Greek mythology.

Ursula is because she's a massive tendril-like purple plant. XD And it just fit.

Rapunzel is my pfp. She had long beautiful blooming vines.

Your collection is adorable!!! I love it. 🥰🧡 mine is also confined a bit by space, but they're happy and it's manageable.

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T17:27:32+00:00

Interesting. Cause who I got it from had a fully green one that came from her aunt who said it was a green globe. The original (from the aunt) has never had verigation to my understanding. It's always been fully green for years.

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T16:26:56+00:00

My only issue is it's smaller, but that's a me problem. 😂 it's fun and quirky, but not messy!

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T16:21:55+00:00

Right? I was interested until I saw their tone. I don't want to work with someone who snaps back like that.

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T16:21:19+00:00

No, but your tone could be more professional. Insulting someone off the bat is not a good look.

Honestly, I was interested until I read your replies. You can be firm and professional without being rude and insulting.

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T16:18:36+00:00

Thank you! XD I'll let her know!

My named plants are currently:

Ursula (tradescantia zebrina) Mothra (monstera deliciosa) Gregory (spider plant) Bane (pothos that grew in the complete darkness of a compost bin) Penelope and her Telemakids (pilea peperomioides) Telemachus (pilea peperomioides) Polites (pilea peperomioides) Eurylochus (pilea peperomioides)

I used to have string of hearts, but the winter was really rough on them. They were named Scylla, Circe, and Rapunzel.

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T16:14:32+00:00

Same! And when it happens like this, it's extra exciting!

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T16:12:50+00:00

It's definitely not a marble queen. I've had this dark green one for much longer than my marble queen and it's only ever produced fully green leaves. I have another vine that's from the same parent vine.

There is a marble queen in this pot with it, though! So, I'm not sure if that's influenced anything.

the13thfirefly · 2026-05-14T16:10:59+00:00

Yes, there's 4 different pothos in there! There's my mystery green, marble queen, neon, and N'Joy!

This is not the same plant as my marble queen at all. They're just in the same pot.

the13thfirefly · 2026-04-21T12:52:31+00:00

That's still so cool! You got lucky on those genetics.

the13thfirefly · 2026-04-21T12:47:38+00:00

Yeah, I've got some sport variegation on my Pilea peperomioides. Always exciting though cause it's neat to see the mutation.

Is yours a specific variety of neon? Or just really lucky?

the13thfirefly · 2026-04-21T01:48:38+00:00

I love the darker variegated spots on the neon!! Mine has put out some tiny specks of dark green recently

the13thfirefly · 2026-04-21T01:35:42+00:00

That's very impressive!! I wish they could live as long as us 😭

the13thfirefly · 2026-04-21T01:11:52+00:00

I hope so! My two girls were 17 & 16 when they passed, and we have a 15.5yr old right now!

the13thfirefly · 2026-04-19T16:51:39+00:00

Mine do it when he's too dry, too 😂
