wtf is wrong with my saliva divinorum? Its leaves die back from the tip despite me having it outside in half shadow. The plant arrived during March with some thrips but I got rid of those. First time caring for this type of plant so idk what to do
>>4879181Looks like a nutrient deficiency.
>>4879181Because you planted in that tiny toilet-looking thing
That guy from terrariumtribe looks incredibly reddit but the girl is cute. I bet he posts in /r/cuckold, she has taken more BBCs than the terrariums they've built together
>>4879211Thanks. Will fertilize.>>4879243The root ball is barely larger than the stem because this plant was propagated by branch rooting. It has plenty of room and a drainage at the bottom but I'll repot it if it might help.
>>4879288
>>4879288At first I didn't believe the "brainrot" meme, but there are people out there who legitimately think like this. Get off 4chan and talk to somebody outside.
I don't know what most of these are but heres my collection. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong with the elephant ear plant in the back right. Its the only one I actually paid any money for and it was doing good for the first few weeks but now is all shriveled up and dying.
>>4879308Soak crushed lump charcoal in a liquid fertilizer like compost tea for a couple weeks and mix it into the soil when you report it. It will act as a slow release fertilizer.
Do multiple growlights stack when it comes to potency? If I have two lights the same distance from the plant instead of one, will it be stronger or does it just function as more area covered?
>>4879330Nice collection. That sucks about the sadboi in the back, but depending on what species that is it's definitely under watered. They're mostly marsh plants. They like it a bit moist. Everything else you got there can either tolerate dry spells or are outright built for them. From what I can see you got a ZZ plant, 2 snake plants, a Monstera, a pothos, and I think the big nigga on the floor is a schefflera, but idk. Ditto to the little noodle growing above it that's identical. You got some viners in the back but I can't see them good enough.I just got my impulse-bought tillandsia in the mail, along with my Monstera Dubia. The Dubia I'm pretty sure I can just train up and down a mesh trellis, but tillandsia just weirds me out. Where do they go? Do people just put them in cups or something? If I just kinda set them in with my other plants without burying them will they be alright? Right now I'm just sticking em wherever they'll stay and look decorative where I won't forget they're there.
>>4879341Thank you very much, anon. I appreciate your help.
Can someone of you plant nerds explain to me how the battlefields in Eastern Ukraine aren't completely overgrown fields of heath by now? Posting pic is pointless, they just look like regular agricultural fields off season.They haven't been sown and harvested in 2.5 years.They also aren't like mowed or anything, because they often are mined or targeted. In fact, it's a death trap to even move on them, which is why all advancing occurs along tree lines.Yet despite no human setting foot on them since early 2022, they look freshly mowed.
>>4879544Fuck
>>4879545Can get (harmless) algae, I like clear pots cos I can snoop on what's going on downstairs with moisture/root health.Some plants will start growing under the soil if their roots get sunlight and some says it's bad for roots.Best I reckon is clear pot inside a cache pot.
>>4879555Ok so I'll get Algae and the worst that can happen is the pot will look gross and the nice roots won't show prominatly, I can live with that. I was expecting a disaster. Thanks for replying
>>4879028>you couldn't be talking about acacia podalyriifolia could you? that's literally endemic to southeast queenslandYep, that's it. Don't blame me. I don't make the lists. I love it but I guess people hate it because it self-sows in their gardens or whatever.>if I'm pulling invasive garden escapees I'm sure as fuck not planting them anywhere lmaoI'm not saying you should. Most of the things I mentioned aren't crazy invasive and are fine in suburban garden beds. The main reason they grow in parks and wasteland is because people dump them there.Nothing wrong with grabbing some nice big bromeliads out of the park. Other stuff that can be more invasive (Sansevierias, Agaves, whatevs) you can just keep and grow in pots.People on /plant/ are often short of money, so I think it makes sense for them to pull garden escapees out of parks or wasteland and grow them in pots. Why pay a lot of money for Sansevieria at a nursery when you can get as much as you want for free? You can take Monstera leaves and Bougainvillea cuttings to propagate while you're at it. >>4879032>I was talking about hydrocotyle acutiloba and centella asiatica that are actually locally nativeHuh. I didn't know those plants but they look familiar and it's crazy that people spazz out about them, especially if they're local natives.>>4879032>they get their knickers all in a knot when anything tries to grow in their glyphosate monoculture monstrosity of a lawnIt sounds like you listen to Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't and watch Kill Your Lawn. If not, you would love them!
I'm growing a mango plant from a seed. Anything important I should know?
>>4879628You will probably never get mangoes from it as it's grown from seed and not from a cutting from a producing mango tree.This applies to most every commercial fruit tree.
>>4879639And who is this? I've never got it.Not anon
>>4879400It will be stronger. Download an app called Photone and play with it.
>>4879529No problem. Good luck, anon.
>>4879628 You will get a fruit if you wait long enough, it will probably not be very good though. Or you might win a lottery and get a decent one.>>4879181>retard calling nutrient deficiency on a tiny fresh potted plant It's a stressed pant with barely any roots potted in a weird non-breathing container that might as well be a toilet. The soil probably stays wet for the longest time.
>>4879545Not the same guy but that reminded me of an idea I hadI have several nice candle jars that I wanted to use as pots, but now the question is what can I actually put in them? Is there anything that can thrive in a glass jar with no drainage?Is this just a terrible idea altogether?
>>4879723I have an orchid.Clay balls, a little water in the bottom, and it's on a heat matt, and the heat matt turns on when a thermometer drops below 17 degrees celsius, the thermometer is near the roots.The heat matt turns off at 21 degrees.It's a foxtail orchid, blue, native to Thailand and I'm in the UK.But I grow a lot a plants just in pots with no drainage, just don't over water shit.
>>4879760What are the fuckin chances this comes out the right way up? 20%

>>4879762
>>4879763So these are just coco, perlite, vermiculite straight into the pot, no secondary pot inside; and they seem to be doing ok.

>>4879767

>>4879761Where did you get this? Also, I have some orchids I attached to my tree outside. One bit the dust already. How am I supposed to fertilize these things? And is there any way to propagate orchids? I want to cover this tree
>>4879769What are those two narrow leaved dudes? They remind me of roided up spider plants.
>>4879723Just put an inch or two of crushed lump charcoal in the bottom and use a well draining soil.
>>4879639>>4879721Oh I don't really expect fruit, and it takes supposedly 8 years for seed-grown plants if it happens at all. But I just meant general tips on making it a healthy plant.(By the way this webm from the webm thread is what inspired me to try.) Nevermind I can't find it. Maybe it wasn't on /an/, or I just didn't save it. It was a timelapse of someone growing a mango plant from a seed.
>>4879819Well I hope your winter temperatures never go below 15 Celsius in the night.I mixed literally 2 single drops of house plant liquid feed in 200ml of water in a spray bottle and spray it once a weed. Then I spray it every morning with water.You need your humidity at least 50% all the time, preferably 70+I'd say once they are established, maybe a year, they will look after themselves outside.Where do you live?>>4879822Pride of Madeira; Echium candicansI left one in my garden last year and it died, because I'm in the UK.So this year I've grown them inside, come spring 2025 I will put them in the ground.They only flower in the second year, then die.Seems as there are two of the other plant as well, they are plumerias, from Hawaii.
>>4879819The easiest way to propagate is by separation.Orchids from seeds are grown on nutrient agar in petri dishes. I think.I got it from eBay, it was already in the UK.If I wanted there are plants from Thailand but the postage is £28 and the question is will it last 10 days in the dark being chucked around??
>>4879971South Florida. It's hot and humid here. I'll try that liquid feed since I want them to bloom again.

>>4881250That's beautiful, in which country do you live? My fern suffers because I live in the desert
>>4881289Austria. Which fern do you have and what soil have you been using?I got told that a tree fern needs regular spraying and no direct sun but my premise is always that the plant has to survive the bare minimum I'm willing to do and in Virgar's case, that means no misting and partial full exposure to the afternoon sun. Pic related was a week after I got him, so you can see how this all worked out for him. However, I do have to keep the soil moist at all times because once it dries up his leaves will whither within a day and if it happens while the fern is rolling out a new one, it will be stunted. No amount of water afterward can change that.
Example of what it looks like if the soil dries up while the fern is developing a leaf:Left one has been fully rolled out before I went on vacation - however, someone forgot to water the fern and the soil dried out for a day, resulting in stunted growth. It still has the shine of all those compact cells that never got to expand.In comparison, the right one is about a month old and still not done growing.
>>4881302I hope you hike in those beautiful Austrian mountains.
How hard are roses to root? Snagged this off the bush out front before my landlord shears them down to nubs like he does every few years. I took the flower and all but the top three or so sets of leaves off and dipped it in rooting hormone if that shit actually does anything. Stuck it in a plastic gallon(ish) pot. So far it hasn't wilted or faded, but it's also only been a day, so we'll see how it does.
>>4881377I personally have never successfully rooted a rose cutting, but it's supposed to be really easy. My great grandma would just cut them off and stick them in the dirt and they would grow.

>62 year old gilf
>>4881302>>4881309I'm from where these are from. I actually see them growing in direct sun quite often, and the sun here can be very unforgiving (up to and over 40 degrees, 16 UV index). I think the most important thing is humidity and precipitation. In the first picture it looks a little etiolated but in the second picture it looks a lot healthier, so I'd say whoever told you to keep it out of direct sun was probably just giving you generic advice that works for most ferns but what you're doing is right for thesethey do like a lot of water but surprisingly once established (might take a few years and a bigger pot) they can be pretty drought tolerant

>>4881630Worth it for the pot and saucer. And have a go at propagating those last living bits too.Buying shitty plants at garage sales is a good way of getting nice pots.
What is the longest you all have had a cutting live without rooting? I have a few pieces of a now long dead Cupressus macrocarpa ("Gold Crest" Monterey cypress) survive in my tortured nerve plant pickle-jar terrarium. They haven't dried out, haven't rooted, and haven't rotted. They've even started to show signs of new growth at the tips. It's been at least 7 months inside the jar. Here's my shitty phone picture, I'll try to get a better macro photo later.
>>4882509Slightly different but I put this snapped Zanzibar in water about 8 months ago for shits and gigs and it's put out about 2mm of roots and still survivin

>>4881401Based techinept boomer/tech illiterate gen x
>>4881533Bro you are projecting now...
Can I get some help? I wanted to propagate my monstera and made a cutting like two months ago. After a month it eventually sprouted one meager root from the node above water level (water was like halfway between aerial root stems) that dipped into water as it grew. Now the single root looks unhealthy. I'm no expert but I guess shit's just rotting.What do?
>>4882723Looks fine, water roots look different than soil roots. Just keep the water oxygenated.
>>4882723Looks leggy, need more light
>>4882723For 2 months, that root doesn't look good at all. Does it smell rotten?I found a monstera cutting in a garbage can, rootless, and after ~10 weeks in water, it looked like this.I used a large water jug in bright, mostly indirect sunlight and added a teaspoon of rooting hormone powder (although i have rooted other plants without powder before). Changed the water only twice in that period, but topped it off when it got too low. Same as with yours, the second node was above water and that was the one that grew the strongest.The stem and leaves on your cutting look fine. If the root doesn't smell bad or feel like it's decaying, i'd say just keep waiting
Thanks for the replies.>>4882750I see. I changed the water 3 times total since I found conflicting info on whether to do that frequently or not at all.>>4882741Right, makes sense.>>4882766Damn that's impressive, especially for a rescue literally salvaged from trash. The difference is striking. No, it doesn't smell rotten, but it definitely looked different before. Bit more white, bit more solid. The part near the aerial root's stem seems particularly dark and feeble. Good to know it's just not my cutting that grows roots from the second node, I thought it was an outlier case. Changed the water, put it by the brightest window. Once I'm by a gardening store, I'll pick up something for rooting. I'll wait and see. If it does go bad, do I cut it off and start over or is the node
I’ve been collecting seeds from plants in my yard since April of this year. Ask me anything.

I have 2 questions, why does every single plant on the planet require partial sunlight and not do well in full sun according to labels and websites, and also, where are american pet/terrarium youtubers going to just buy 20 different varieties of every kind of plant and moss you could imagine, while I only have flower shops or ordering them online for 20 more dollars than they should cost?
>>4882805>>4882806Impressively autistic, is the Indian tobacco Lobelia inflata?
>>4882805This is the type of shit I'd be doing if I were addicted to Adderall instead of weed. Nice work.
>>4882883Yes, in fact, it is. The seeds are tiny as fuck. It’s pretty easy to collect them, just tap the seed pods and the seeds will sprinkle into the packet.
>>4882882You’re probably looking at the wrong websites. Many plants thrive in full sun and others thrive in shade.They’re YouTubers, they obviously have a lot of money so they can just buy a fuck ton of plants. Or they have them randomly lying around, which I wouldn’t doubt.
Native selection just arrived
>>4881908Maybe you can tell me if it's a good idea then to plant my tree fern outside at some point then. He's the only one of my plants allowed to grow as tall and as broad as he likes but because I can only give him limited space inside, both pot and room wise, I sort of tend to lean towards planting him in my garden once his stem emerges and reaches a certain hight. Winter can get quite harsh here with temperatures reaching into the -20°C but those are rare and we usually get -10°C and occasionally 40°C in summer as well as ~80km windstorms in late spring [talking about my area specifically]. I am not above constructing a shed for him but I rather get him used to the weather overall so perhaps you can give me a little insight into what these plants can tolerate.
>>4882882>why does every single plant on the planet require partial sunlight and not do well in full sun according to labels and websites"Full sun" means many different things in different parts of the world.Many plants are understorey plants that get smashed in full sun. Especially plants from tropical rainforests that never get full sun in their natural environment. Even many tougher plants that can survive OK in full sun will have been grown in shadehouses and therefore need to be acclimatised to sun gradually, starting with maybe an hour of early morning sunlight and slowly moving it up from there over the course of several weeks.Also, plants in pots feel the cold and the heat way more than plants in the soil. Soil is a great insulator and the temperature of the soil fluctuates much less over the course of a day or year than the air temperature does.Plants in pots also can't get roots down into underground water sources, which exacerbates the dehydrating effect of full sun, and sun damage to the plant. If you want to know what does really well in full sun in your area, look at public and commercial landscaping in your area, the things that are planted in supermarket car parks (parking lots), public parks, roundabouts and traffic islands, the grounds of factories and office buildings and shit.>>4882882>where are american pet/terrarium youtubers going to just buy 20 different varieties of every kind of plantWholesale/commercial suppliers maybe? You can get plants much cheaper and in bigger quantities if you go straight to the grower or wholesaler and cut out the retailer middleman. Some commercial suppliers will require you to buy a certain minimum amount and/or pretend to have a real business yourself.
>>4882939is that a banksia grandis? and an adenanthos sericeus? you have some good taste in plants anon. I've always been a bit jealous of the proteaceae diversity on the west coast>>4882983where I live it's extremely rare for the temperature to go below freezing, but there are some tree fern species from places like tasmania and southern new zealand where it can snow and even get to -10 or so some years, so you'd have to check what particular species it is and if it's one of the more southern ones there's a chance it could survive in your climate, but there's also a good chance the frost might be a bit too much for it. You might be able to help it through the winter by wrapping it up but it's not deciduous so it wouldn't cope with the leaves dying over the winter. I'd say your best chance would be to have it in a big pot and bring it inside whenever it gets cold enough that it starts to look unhealthy
>>4883005Banksia blechnifolia and yeah. Have never really watched natives grow, only had established so looking forward to these.
>>4882923Nice! I've got a few of them I'm planning on starting in a milk jug, but they seem like they're going to be difficult to transplant. Are you planning on growing any or are you saving all these seeds long term?
Rotate it in Gimp, ya dingus
>>4883089wtf is gimp?I've tried three different ways
>>4883090Gimp is a free art program kind of like photoshop
>>4883115I used paint, I'm not a tech git anymore
>>4883030I'm saving them until I decide to plant them. I'm mainly doing this just to collect them but if I have a reason to plant them then I will.
Hey guys, I’m new to plants (and the board) and want to do a really good job with this one. My family has traditionally sucked at gardening, and I always hated seeing nice plants enter our house, and dead ones exit a month later.I know very little about this plant as I got it at a seminar nearly a month ago as a sort of prize, all I know is that it’s a succulent and that it may be an agave. If anyone could help identifying it, that would be awesome.It seems to like about an ounce or two of water a week (which I heard is better delivered as an ice cube; as to not drench the agave). it seems the “leaves” (probably not the right term) will droop a little when it needs a refresher. I keep it in the windowsill all day and take it down periodically, although I read that it might be better to only give it six hours of sunlight at a time, so I’m not sure about that.I am a little concerned about some aspects of its health; the underside of the lower two leaves are getting pruney, and I’m not sure if that’s to be expected or from too much sunlight or bad soil or something. I found several brown bumps (in a straight row) on top of one of the leaves that where about the diameter of the tip of a pencil when I first got it, and out of fear I ended up slightly digging them up with a small pocket knife, which may not have been the best idea. I recently found a fresh hole about the size of the tip of a sharpened pencil just today in one of the newer leaves, and I’m worried if it’s a sign of anything, or if it’s possible something just made a small puncture.I’ve heard about weevils, but I live on the 5th story of my residence and can’t imagine one crawling all the way up here to mess with it, especially because they’re supposed to be the size of a fingernail. For safety’s sake, I took the plant out of the soil to inspect it, but found nothing out of the ordinary before putting it back. (Same soil)Any advice at all would help!
bruh
>>4883392At a guess it's NOT an Agave spp., more likely something in the Crassulaceae family. I think it's a Graptopetalum paraguayense. Personally I'd suggest slowly watering it until water runs out the bottom of the pot then letting the soil dry out before the next watering. They like lots of sun, so don't worry about that. These are fairly easy to propagate from broken pieces and leaves. On that note, the leaves will detach kinda easily from the stem so be careful handling it in the future. Your biggest worry is probably going to be mealy bugs, but those are easy to notice. Most physical damage will scab/callus/scar over as long as it isn't too moist/humid. On that note, the greatest threat is you over watering it.
>>4883123Whatever works. Gimp takes like an hour to load anyways. I wouldn't use it just to rotate a picture.
>>4883392If you have a sunny window in your bathroom then it can benefit from the humidity of your shower
>>4883496How often should I water my >Monstera>Persian shield >Peace lily >Pothos
what is this and how can I keep it alive? The roots look heavy and thick, does it need to be cut?
>>4883533Looks good.How did you come about owning it?Change the water once a week at least, a little, I mean tiny bit of liquid feed each time, like 5, 6 drops.Maybe put an aerator plant in there?BUT: When you change the water make sure it's room temperature. So get a jug the same size, fill it and let it sit next to the plant for 24 hours. This will also help get rid of and gasses in the water like chlorine.Then change the water the next day.As for what it is, fuck knows, I can't name any of my plants.
>>4881377I'm doing one right now and what i did is cut the flower and leaves and thorns and out it in a glass of water with a bit of sugar. Now i just wait. They supposedly take a while.>>4881384Damn maybe your grandma is right. Did she leave the flowers and everything? I'll poke one in the dirt and keep the rest in water and see which one works better
>>4883615She'd definitely trim off the flower, but I think she would leave a set of leaves. I know you have to make sure you don't put it in upside down. Good luck, anon.
One of my chickens got in and ate my pothos down to the roots. I thought it was done for, but one of the roots survived and sent up a new leaf.
>>4883654That happened aaaages ago, I remember you writing it here.It should come back better than ever.I've just repotted my fuckin peace lily into coco perlite n vermiculite. If it's not happy now then fuck it, it's going in the garden next spring and it can take its chances there.
>>4883664I hope so. I bought it so I could use cuttings to help root other plants, but between my cats, chickens, and the winters around here it seems like it grows in reverse.
>>4883668Cuttings to help root other plants?What does one mean by this?
>>4883670Pothos produces auxin which is basically what's in rooting hormone powder. You can stick a cutting in the same cup of water as cuttings from other plants and they will root better.
>>4883496That’s good to hear. Thank you very much for the advice.
>>4883702Interesting, thank you.Rooting powder is £2.99https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPM0hwMs3V4Also someone posted this a few months ago;
Its yellowjacket season. You are letting your carnivorous plants get their fill, right?
Fun fact: Roses don't naturally have that many petals, in the wild they have only five. They have a genetic mutation that gives them a fuckton of petals, so much in fact that they can't be pollinated well if at all.
>>4883612was my sisters and she left it to sit in a thick layer of dust in the corner of her room rotting away. It was looking pretty pale when I got it a week ago but it already looks much greener.
>>4883702you can also use bramble tips, cause I have no idea what pothos isWillow is used for making rooting water also
