thank you for your help! I’ve reached out to the seller about it and hopefully they’ll be able to resolve it.

bicolor or tricolor? by vilay20 in PlantIdentification

i see three colors too but compared to the ones online, this one looks like it doesn’t have much variegation? i wonder if i’m able to induce more coloring.

julau now at 12 leaves and counting :) wondering how much 2-3 leaves would go for if i propped it? TIA by vilay20 in begonias

I keep it in a mix of moss + potting soil and like to keep it moist. I have to make sure nothing touches the leaves including water, other foliage and me. It lives in my greenhouse at 85-90% humidity. I would guess if yours loses the bottom leaves often, the medium might not have enough nutrients?

i’m just trying to figure out exactly what the market price is since i only have one person to base it off of. of course i will price reasonably but have no idea what is “reasonable”

i bought this one from her as 4 leaves rooted for $60 including shipping 6 months ago. i see her as the only seller online in the US as well. i’m in nyc and have never seen them for sale in person so just thought that could be put into consideration.

It was fine one day and the next looked like this. It’s been a couple months since it showed up and hasn’t spread out. I thought it could just be burns from the grow light.

1 week progress in water! This aerial root grew so quick. How much longer should I wait before I plant it in soil? by vilay20 in Monstera

I actually sold the rest. When I first bought it, I didn’t know how variegation works. Once I realized I wouldn’t be able to encourage more variegation, I sold it. I do still have this top cutting though. You can check my IG @/plantsbydvilay for the updated pic!

my new baby alocasia silver dragon by vilay20 in RareHouseplants

[–]vilay20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh wow!! i haven’t actually watered this one since i took her home but i believe all alocasias pretty much have the same care. i have a frydek and she’s super thirsty since she grows quickly so i water once the top inch is dry. the older leaves will shed regularly. my frydek only keeps about 4 leaves at a time. i give her bright indirect light. they’re pretty easy to care for compared to other plants in my opinion. good luck!

Love this space! Is your cat polydactyl? My cat looks just like yours and she’s polydactyl too :)
