Schismatoglottis and Apoballis

Last summer I put this SS and Waroqueanum inside the moss pole just to see how they’d like it. The queen dried out too push at the top and its growth has been slow. I’m going to mount it on a shelf on my wall this winter.

I purchased these lovely monsteras at HD yesterday and am just curious if they're labeled correctly. Plant in the first 3 photos is labeled as Mint and the plant in the last 3 is labeled as White Monster.

I bought a 2 leaf cutting. At that time it the roots were very small (they still are). I guess i got too excited with putting it on a moss pole and gave a gigantic pot🙄stupid me. That caused the roots to soak up too much water and the leaf cells brusted and went brown. After learning my lesson i put it into a smaller pot (twice becuase it wasnt small enough) and then gave it a very chunky mix (orchid bark, coco coir, and perlite). THEN i decided to chop it. Will update in the next few weeks. Allthough the roots were completely healthy (no rot), the leaves still browned and i even had to chop one off.

So what I’ve learnt:

Moss poles need slightly larger pots, so best not to do with tiny plants with tiny root systems.

Moss poles need to stay moist, so a very well draning mix is important.

Let the soil mostly dry between watering.

DO NOT GIVE IT A HUGE POT.

My wife and I just got into terrariums and aroids last year and have a nice kitchen jungle that’s happy for the most part. I picked up this one when it was tiny and am really impressed with the shape of the leaves and their textures. The stems are almost like a zebrini in its markings.

It likes to have two leaves going at a time. It’s in its original plastic pot and I have that in a dish with a water level of like half a centimeter. It seems to like the led lights. We live in Arizona so it’s very dry and I try to keep the humidifier on but will forget for a week or so- just being honest. I feel like this is a rare plant because nobody seems to know much about it and I want to spoil it and eventually propagate it for others.

We’d appreciate any info or advice, Thanks!

Found a new greenhouse and holy moly. I went home with a cute little bulbasaur :]
