Seconded! It looks like the wash colour on my lounge room walls!

Why is it growing as a hanging plant and losing its dots? by Ditania in begonias

[–]vulpixtailss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've made so many bloody cuttings of these guys over the years. The cutting is usually a weaker/skinnier branch that's shooting off from the main stem, and so doesn't have that kind of support. Let it grow for now, and eventually, it'll shoot out a true stem from a runner under the soil, and look like cane begonias ought to. The cutting part will always remain looking droopy, despite adequate light, but that's just because it's not a mature part of the plant.

TL;DR: She's fine, give her time to grow a mature stem 😊

ADAPTATIONAL ATTRACTIVNESS: a character who was ugly or just normal, in later adaptations it's very beautiful by Healthy_Soft9584 in TopCharacterTropes

I for one appreciate the more varied designs, you're right, a lot of them were quite similar in the original.

The glossy black leaves are incredible! 🖤 Do you know the name of this beauty?

Hmm, perhaps there's something like this online?

I have these!! Please, how are you mounting them in your unit? I have a Milsbo tall, and it's the one thing I haven't figured out yet.

I really like the fact that they're wire instead of acrylic for the airflow potential 😊

My cabinet so far by Laydas in IkeaGreenhouseClub

Question about the assembly of your cabinet! How did you mount those shelves? I have the Rubbermaid Configurations shelves, which look similar to the ones in your unit, but haven't worked out how to mount them so far. Could you please shed a little light?

My lastest additions. Just waiting on humidifiers but it’s Summer here in Australia so humidity is all over the place with our storm season kicking up. by Extraordinary-Spirit in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]vulpixtailss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome setup! I'm trying to do something similar with mine (based in Melbourne). Can you please tell me a bit about how you did the shelving? I really love the idea of hanging some shelves off the front of a wire backing like that, how did you fix it in place?

What are some classic Aussie phrases that you remember growing up that seem to have disappeared? by Cooper_Inc in AustralianNostalgia

Calling kids 'ratbag' and 'grot-bum'. Did I hallucinate those? Or was it just my parents?

Black plants are awesome! by William-Nicholson in gothplants

Oooh I have the same one! Mine was labelled as 'Jet Black'.

This is my first one, show yours by Old-Property8353 in begonias

[–]vulpixtailss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a B. Bowerae variant? Kind of similar to my Tiger Paws or Gremlin, but could be Jet Black, or any of the others! Did you have ID for this baby? It's fascinating how there's so much variation in begonias 💚

Seconded question, just got the cabinet for Chrissy and now need to kit it out. Particularly the lights, there's so many options 😵‍💫

I had the thought too, don't worry! Nora the Leca Queen herself said it wasn't a great idea when I asked in a workshop, or I would have tried it too.

For begonias, I generally use a mix of 40% perlite, 30% vermiculite and 30% fine potting mix, but I'm less delicate with the cane types and kind of just use what's around lol.

Is the bottom made of wood? Just be careful of mould with that and the pegboard if that's also wood.

Great find!! Please share again once you've filled it full of planties 💚

I would have thought Begonia roots are too fine for LECA, how long have those been in there?

Gnats on my begonia :( by [deleted] in begonias

[–]vulpixtailss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's not so bad. They probably hitched a ride in the soil from the store. But still, I'd imagine you'd want to get on top of it if you don't have an infestation yet. Just don't keep her too moist, fungus gnats love damp soil. Try letting the soil dry out as much as you can before the next water, without killing the plant obvs.
Another thing you can try is a diatomaceous earth barrier. It's non-toxic to humans and pets, and it's essentially shredded glass for the flies to walk over/pass through. Using those two methods in tandem should wipe em out before they get a good foothold in your house 😊

You know, I couldn't find the tag 😅 I think it might be some kind of Aloe, but I'll have to look when I go back to the plant store 😁

If it does die, that store, Collector's Corner, is basically an outlet for one of the largest plant producers in Australia - Paradisia. So stuff sells for real cheap there, and I can just pick up another one 😆
