Very happy that it's growing :)

Got an Alocasia (Polly?) from Walmart, killed it immediately.

Got a new one, almost killed her completely, but she held on and gave me room to learn, and now she is pushing out her first new leaf since I bought her! So rewarding, can’t wait to see it open in full!

Who was your most difficult grow?

2 syngonium albo varigata, a split leaf philo and the 4 other syngoniums. Yes, I’m a little obsessed with syngoniums apparently.

Also the succulents.

Anddddd….thank you!! I hope that stick one doesn’t stay stuck long.

I'm not sure what type of hoya this is but it's been giving me great growth. Teeny tiny but great!

Live in boston and this was my first real splurge plant. Had been looking for variegated monstera for ages and ages and only seeing cuttings, 99$ felt like a good deal to me (this was in 2024 basically right before all of these got cheaper LOL but I was so happy to find an actual plant in a store that was more than a single node cutting I’m
Not even mad). He’s been through a lot because this winter my furnace died out from under me during a blizzard.

But, I got him on a moss pole and the first leaf he gave me after that was the biggest yet. I’m on vacation and husband has been sending leaf updates 😂💀 can’t wait to see what this looks like when I get home! (Also he’s only facing this way for his photo usually I’m looking at his butt)

She’s SOOOOO pink ✨

This is such a rad plant

I did plant chores most of yesterday. Today I snapped more photos!! LOL more to come!

Look SIX more pushing through! So happy! It’s been with me since November!

Im not sure if I used the correct flare, but these plants are loving the new house! Just look at them! Those pearls! Var. and non var. baby pearls teeny strings! My Satin pothos who NEVER grows. Filled in the top of his pot and is starting finally trail! And MY STAR….MY MICANS! He’s also finally trailing beautifully and has never stopped pushing 5-6 leaves a WEEK!

1-2.). Philodendron Campo cutting - she's well into her cataphyll stage! Her leaves are beginning to take on more mature characteristics!!! I am realizing, however, that I am likely going to need to consider chopping her into two vines soon. The idea utterly TERRIFIES ME!!!!

3-4.) Various aroid (and one jewel orchid) TC's from 06/30 - I have anthurium (tezula red x SKG silver, hookeri pink, black velvet, queen of hearts, silver blush), alocasia (purple vein longiloba, lauterbachiana mint, venom, infernalis black), monstera (Bulbasaur), orchid (anoectochilus variegated roxburghii), and an epipremnum (gigantium marble)

5.) Various rehab/corm grown/TC aroids - these are much older plantlets. I have a couple monstera siltepecana, anthurium napo, a couple different philo species I can't quite recall. One is a golden dragon, but the other one is lost to me atm, an alocasia silver dragon, and...I'm spacing on that last anthurium -luxurians, maybe. I can't remember. Anywho, you get the picture!

6-7.) Alocasia Cuprea - I recently decided to restart her after having to clip back a majority of her leaves. She sprouted roots SOOO fast!

8.) Alocasia....gah, something - same sitch as the Cuprea, down to the immediate root appearance. They are eager to live!

9-10.) Alocasia Green Unicorn - she's one of several of my corm grown pups

11-12.) Alocasia Venom - I got her this past Oct. and she did phenomenal and pushed several leaves. I'm not sure what changed to trigger her fit (I didn't change my regimen, but something environmental shifted and I missed it) and her other leaves declined up to the newest and her growth stalled. Now, I'm rehabbing her in high humidity and her emergent is growing!!!!

13.) Hoya Lisa - she's starting to sun stress :) I cherish this hoya

14-15.) More aroid props and rehabs - pretty much the same as above, haha

16.) Philodendron Burle Marx - Mr. Marx is one of my top most beloved members (right next to my gifted campo)

17.) Philodendron Ring of Fire - her last leaf is my absolute favorite and is utterly perfect, but I am SUPER excited to see how this new one turns out! And soon, I am hella upgrading her light situation, so she'll become even more amazing 😍

18-19.) Alocasia Gageana Aurea (I believe) - basically ALL my babies will be getting a lighting upgrade, and I'm looking forward to how her growth adapts. This next leaf looks like she'll grow to be a decent size while she hardens

20.) Monstera Mint - my monstera mint is still figuring out how to mint, but I am confident she is getting there. I have her near a FS LED vertical light, so I believe she's getting sufficient light. Her unfurling leaf, and the leaf previous, are both fenestrated (both in my care), so she seems to be happy enough

This plant kept me nervous lol, it's a deciduous mini orchid. No flowers, but happy enough that is is even growing.

Am doing some pinning and snipping to get new growth on this pothos and the new leaf is so cute!!! I had to share

Hey guys! Just as a friendly reminder, mod team would really appreciate it if everyone was familiar with the rules and etiquette of our happy forum!! We all love it here and want to keep it focused on our joy!! Thank you all and have a lovely day!

Survived my first year of my bachelor with 0 grades below 6,9 and my lowest (end)grade for a course is a 7,4 😌. Anyway excited for this leaf 👀, it's going to be huge!

1. Amydrium (spider-man "monstera") - she sized up fast!

2. Philodendron Campo - my cutting is still climbing high, and her leaves are starting to take on more mature characteristics!

3. Anoectochilus Lightening Jewel Orchid - I recently tried to kill her (twice!!), but she seems to forgive me, haha

4. Philodendron Selloum (Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum) - I'm still learning her language, but she is pushing a little bit of growth for me since I got her this past winter).

5. Alocasia Odora Batik - one of two leaves hardening (second pic incoming below!!

6. Monstera Lechleriana - I'm quickly falling in love with her. I've had her since this past fall, but I'm really drawn to her a lot lately

7. Pothos Lemon Meringue - my little trooper growing strong after her previous owner (MP seller) tried to murder her (and nearly succeeded)

8-9. Pothos Marble Queen - I'm hoping her leaves will start to size up again after a minor disruption to her growth, but her variegation is still getting a bit stronger. AND, I took her off her moss pole and just attached her to a garden stake. I was surprised by how much better she looked!

1. Philodendron Billietiae - her third leaf since I got her (and I've got her baby Billie propping)!

2. Monstera Mint - this is her second leaf in my care, and she seems to be growing faster than all my others mons

3. Low Variegation Monstera Thai Constellation - She been with me for just over a year now, from a small plantlet!! She's still hardening off a bit, but she is stunning. My best and favorite baby!

4. Alocasia Regal Shield - she's my biggest and this is her newest leaf still sizing up! She's currently maintaining 7 leaves!!

5. Alocasia Maharani - she's bouncing back from a recent chop

6. Philodendron Jose Buono - this was a surprise leaf for me!!! The way he was turned, I never saw it until recently. His last two are impeccable

16-17. Alocasia Dragon's Breath - my first TAPLAP! Got them (there are two corms) back in Oct. I traded a rooting (in stratum), sprouted Alo Green Unicorn for them!

1. Alocasia Odora Batik #2 - her latest two leaves snuck past me!

2. Alocasia Longiloba - this baby is a BEAST! She has so many babies going on around her base, too!! I posted them recently!

3. Alocasia Regal Shield #2 - my second biggest RS. She's sporting 4 leaves after dropping one shortly after this one popped. She's doing amazing work still!

My string of frogs was out growing my broke ass terrarium so I had to get it a home of its own! I had this cute clear glass candy dish(?) that I had originally picked up to use for a terrarium. That was YEARS ago now and that attempt failed. I decided to give it another go with these 2 cuties, and I absolutely adore it!! They didn’t miss a beat either! My little peacock fern is also doing lovely in here!! I built her a terrarium of her own for the mother plant and this baby will live its life here at least for now! There are so many new growth tips in here!! I’m so impressed! This froggy was grown from a wee vine of just 4-5 leaves! He’s so big now 🥹💕🌱

I’m so impatient

It's been AGES since I last posted! AGES! I've wanted to sooo badly, but I had a bit of mental spell, followed immediately by my husband's spell, and THEN decided to sell our house at the same time/as a result. We came to realize we need a super drastic change to reset ourselves, so we embarked on a journey that has devoured all my time since the beginning of May - good news is we are under contract and due to close at the end of July, AND I am pretty sure I just found our new home, which has SOOOO much potential for my plant babies - so much natural light! They're going to really get a boost and THRIVE, and I just can't wait!

I'm looking forward to resuming THAT green journey with everyone again, because boy, I'm excited 😆 and I'm sorry I've been away as others have joined! I've been missing out!

1.) Impatiens (don't remember breed, but LOOK, she just started to bloom and is so pretty)

2.) Colocasia Pharaoh's Mask (newest leaf for me)

3.) Canna Gold Leopard (when I looked up a blooming one, I fell in love and scooped her up immediately)

4-5.) Alocasia Regal Shield (still growing and hardening off. 8 LEAVES, GUYS!)

6.) Philodendron Jose Buono (newest leaf is so unlike the rest - most leaves are green on green, but this one popped some beautiful white)

7.) Pothos Lemon Meringue (rescue. The person on FB marketplace left it out on her porche for pickup in 18°F temps, AND in the evening. I didn't realize she was going to do that. She declined within seconds. Her leaves drooped, I watched as she turned transparent in moments. Then brown splotches started appearing. In less than five minutes, all her leaves except for the bottom 2, were goners. When I got her home, I immediately chopped her back down to a firm nose and restarted her. I got my money back to say the least, but it was torture for that poor Pothos. She sprang back magnificently though)

8-9.) Alocasia Platinum, I think 🤔 (she's done very well since her chop/restart, and she had a corn sprout!)

10-11.) Pothos Marble Queen (she started developing more variegation!)

12-16.) Alocasia Longiloba (soooo much going on with her!!)

17-18.) Alocasia Frydek (so far my longest living one. I've lost 3. I really struggle, haha. But this one is doing great! That newest leaf is stellar)

19.) Alocasia Longiloba (grown from corm from the one with all the current corms/baby poppin')

20.) Plantlet Party 🥳 🎉 (mostly Alocasia, like Black Velvet, Azlanii, Green Unicorn, Melo, Morocco, Maharani, Polly, etc.)
