Another one in bloom in the bromeliad terrarium. The flowers in the center take turns extending in the evening. So far they never actually open, just one sticks out above the rest and then goes back with the rest by morning. Equally facinating and frustrating is wondering what the hell the intended pollinator is for these plants.

Pretty little things. Very stinky.

A bit late to the party but she still made it!

This handsome little guy came as a free bonus from Holm's orchid shop. I think they're doing their own hybrids since there's a bunch of Holm-named hybrids in their web shop.

New to this community. What do you think of this plant? Blooms almost year round. I've had it for almost a year.

The plant is a Dioscorea elephantipes. Been raising this cute little one since he was a seed in July 2023 :)

I need more soil. And to clean up my 3D printed pot when I’ve finished adding soil lol.

Everything is semi hydro. Except the Cordyline Ti Plant which does have an air stone because I wanted to and I have so much extra aquarium stuff.

The other three are alocasias: azlanii, variegated frydek, and a mystery maybe frydek.

My friend and I like to swap cuttings, I made out like a bandit this time :P

I only had about 5 cuttings for her this time, going to have to step up my game! (I'm running out of plants she doesn't already have 😰)

It's in a 2" pot for reference. Super cute and compact :)

After treating for spider mites when I first got it (May of this year) the leaves weren't doing so hot. The new leaf is beautiful though!

Also already has a baby that popped up last month :)

My indoor banana tree isn't even that old (about one year), but it's growing like crazy in hydro.

One of the cool things about hydro is that pot sizes are less relevant, because the root system is more effective at absorbing water and nutrients compared to soil.
This has resulted in absolutely huge plants compared to their pot.

The only noticeable downside so far has only been the increased watering frequency, but I didn't notice much stunted growth tbh.

This is (also) why I haven't repotted yet.

Sadly I noticed, that this resulted in quite a few forgotten waterings and therefore burnt roots.

This was the tree before:

And here it is in the new net pot:

I put this pond basket into a concrete mixing bowl for 5 bucks, which I now painted with acrylic paint :)

It even gave me a few cuttings of baby trees which I gave to friends

She started as such a little pup and now her leaves are bigger than my hand

I got her about 2 years ago.

I had no idea some succulents could do this. I mean, I knew you could easily propagate them from cuttings but I thought at least a small section of the stem/rhizome needed to be intact. This just happened by sheer accident after it broke off.

Why yes, this was a huge pain in the ass to repot lol. Definitely my biggest hoya in my collection.

This is from last week:

From when I first got it and was treating it for pests:

Watering - winter once a week. Summer every two/three days. There is a drainage.

Light - approximately one meter to side from a balcony window with a curtain. Window located to east-south.

East Slovakia - inside from 20-26 degrees.

Life - we have it around half year. 2 leafs grown since the purchase.

Pests - not visible.

This guy just loves to flower for me :)

4 peduncles currently active (pics below are from yesterday):

Here are my Pinguicula agnata and P. moranensis.
They are the "parents" and just a few months old themselves.
They were in the succulent stage when I bought them and finally developed their carnivorous leaves!

And here are the "babies". I made lots of leaf pullings of both donor plants. They make great gifts!

They all grow on LECA (semi-hydro) with a layer of living moss on top. They get distilled water most of the time, and the moss finally comes to life!

I made this planter (<- imgur gallery) to sell at a pair of craft fairs I'm attending this month and next. I needed something small enough I could fit a few of them on the 6 foot table. I can make them in any color but I love how the black and white turned out.

I would like to have one with a plant in it to showcase it on the table and was hoping you all would have some suggestions (this community always has great suggestions!)

It's about 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
