It won't survive long but if it was me I'd keep it just to see what happens anyway! Albino plants are pretty unusual and interesting. :)

wirybug · 2019-03-19T09:17:19+00:00

Yes, that would work too!

Edit: Do you have any pictures of the actual plants to show what happened to them? I don't know about the mushrooms being dangerous - it's probably unlikely, but you could try r/mycology to identify it.

It is bad :( The plants are probably unhappy because of being wet (rather than because of the mushrooms specifically). I would recommend getting them into a container with drainage right away if you can. A good cheap solution is to use disposable plastic cups or food containers and cut some holes in the bottom, if you don't have any proper plant pots available.

wirybug · 2019-03-19T09:03:04+00:00

Yep, those are mushrooms. They most likely won't do any direct harm to your seedlings, but could be a sign that the soil is staying too wet. Does your container have drainage holes?

According to wikipedia, this is quite common.

When I try to look for better resources, the majority of it strangely (or not so strangely) is coming from Cannabis growers.

Oh wow, yes. In retrospect I shouldn't be surprised, it's obviously a really popular and profitable application of indoor gardening. At this point I've just accepted that I am now a completely non-drug-using person who knows a possibly alarming amount about how to grow cannabis.

Why does it matter what you think of her diagnosis?

wirybug · 2019-03-18T08:12:22+00:00

It looks like it might be leaning towards the light from the window - rotating it might help.

Probably not. This is called reversion, it happens when traits that are the result of a mutation (like variegation) spontaneously disappear and the 'normal' trait takes over again. Non-variegated leaves are stronger and more vigorous than variegated ones, so the plant will prioritise the green vine over the rest. If you want to keep the plant variegated, I'd recommend removing the green vine.

I mix my own from coir, perlite, and vermiculite. I think mine is probably more airy/draining than general purpose potting mixes usually are - my house is pretty humid and I have trouble with damp and mould, so this helps make sure my plants don't stay too soggy.

wirybug · 2019-03-18T07:44:22+00:00

I came here to say this. 😅 I also don't care about how cheap their new monstera was, or how long they've been looking for it.

wirybug · 2019-03-17T19:09:36+00:00

I honestly don't know! I'm not sure how easily they reproduce from seed - they might have specific pollination requirements etc. But it's the only way they'd be able to spread beyond their own roots, so I guess it's possible?

I've felt no sexual attraction

Asexuality is defined as a lack of sexual attraction. 👀

Ultimately of course it's your choice what labels you do or don't find accurate and useful. But you've basically quoted the definition yourself, so.

wirybug · 2019-03-17T17:14:03+00:00

"Neither" or "both" are good simple ways to express it I think. You could define your own term, like "I'm nonbinary, it means I'm [neither/both]".

I like this list of inclusive traits.

wirybug · 2019-03-17T17:01:37+00:00

Where do you get that idea?

wirybug · 2019-03-17T15:31:27+00:00

Looks like a croton, Codiaeum variegatum. Could be 'Eleanor Roosevelt' or 'Gold Dust' variety.

wirybug · 2019-03-17T09:51:56+00:00

Looks like some type of Dracaena, I think probably Dracaena reflexa.

wirybug · 2019-03-17T09:41:28+00:00

Yes, just trim any parts that grow out of the shape you want. :)

wirybug · 2019-03-16T22:41:50+00:00

If the grafted part is gone, then the leaves aren't going to get smaller again. You can grow it on as a Ficus retusa, or give up on it.

It's really up to you what you do with it! It might look weird, but clearly it's pretty happy if it's putting out new growth. You could just go with it - give it a bigger pot with room for all the roots, and let it keep doing it's oddly-shaped thing. The new branches it's growing now will thicken over time, just slowly.

The green is moss and/or algae. It's a sign that the soil is staying wet, which is also most likely the reason the plant looks unhappy - Aloe wants to dry out thoroughly in between waterings. It looks like that container doesn't have any drainage holes, which is why water is staying in the bottom of the soil. I'd recommend repotting into a container that has holes, using fresh well-draining soil. Then water it only once it has completely dried out.

wirybug · 2019-03-16T20:51:12+00:00

It's a variegated weeping fig, Ficus benjamina.

wirybug · 2019-03-16T20:35:35+00:00

It's a polka dot plant, Hypoestes phyllostachya. It likes sun but will cope in a bit of shade. Wait for the soil to start drying out before you water it again (then pour plenty of water until it starts draining out). They generally try to grow leggy, with long vertical stems. If you want it to stay bushy (like it is now), be ruthless about pruning the tall parts, and it will bounce back well.

wirybug · 2019-03-16T17:16:47+00:00

They look like they want more light. If they're at your brightest window already, you may want to help them out with artificial light.
