My current special interest is houseplants. At last count I have about 45 houseplants. 🫣 submitted by Bees-Apples to AutismInWomen [link] [comments] I have African violets, a Dracaena (corn plant), Calathea ‘medallion’, Streptocarpus (cape primroses, pictured here), a bunch of different Epipremnum aureum (pothos), several different philodendrons, and others. I’m having SO MUCH FUN learning about making my own soil mixes for the different plants, trying out moss poles for the climbers, trying different propagation techniques, etc! Anybody else really into houseplants and want to become email pen pals so we can talk about it together…? |

The oak was already at my house, but I planted everything else between January and a few weeks ago. We took the lawn out for the lawn rebate program. We also added a few natives to the backyard and hope to eventually add more. This isn’t all the plants, but most of the ones that are blooming now. Thanks to this sub for help in choosing plants and for all your general inspiration and knowledge! submitted by funnymar to Ceanothus [link] [comments] I’m so happy to have been lead down this path. As I researched and planned a drought tolerant lawn replacement, I moved from a more South African/Australian/Mediterranean garden to native plants. I tried to stick to ones that are more native to where I am in Northern California. It has been so exciting to see all the pollinators show up! My kids just love watching it grow and bloom. We have more birds between the plants and soil/mulch. The neighbors have been complimenting us and I hope it inspires others to plant more natives or consider removing their lawns (that they never use).

2024.03.24 00:23 therangry Help with sexing C. Versicolor
Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. submitted by therangry to tarantulas [link] [comments] I started writing this as a post about sexing (and it still is) and then figured I may as well dump everything into one post, so I've also included a novel about the enclosure and husbandry. I've had my C. Versicolor since early December 2023, and was told by the breeder they are male. They seem to be eating very well, webbing up the enclosure nicely, etc. but still no molt. Not too worried about that, but it means I don't have a molt for sexing purposes. However -- FINALLY today I caught them in a good position to take a picture for help with sexing. Any thoughts? Quite new to the hobby, looks male to me, but I really can't say I know enough to be able to tell for sure. I'll probably return to my lurking shadows after this post, but this seems to be a great community so I'll still be around. Thanks in advance! ENCLOSURE/CAREI'll try to cover off some things I think people might ask about.The terrarium is simple but technically bioactive.
ClosingI definitely approach this from a perspective of wanting to learn. I'm still new to the hobby and I'm sure there's some things I could improve, so if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations on things I could consider changing, I would be all ears!Thanks in advance for any insights you may have!

I bought this plant awhile ago, think it’s a Epipremnum Aureum (Green dragon). submitted by wtxy_ to propagation [link] [comments] Wanting advice to make it more fuller: I’ve cut the newer leaves to propagate them to more back in the pot after they grow roots. Should I cut the long part of the main plant down to the first growing leaf? Where it curls has a bunch of aerial roots and feels thicker than the rest of the plant as well. Thank you in advance ☺️ |

They thrive in bright, indirect light and need regular watering. It’s important to note that while these plants may look similar at first glance, they are distinct species. Essential Care RequirementsLight: Lemon Lime Philodendron thrives in bright, indirect light, ideally between 10,000 to 20,000 lux. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but its leaves may be smaller.Water: Ensure thorough watering, allowing the top 50% of the soil to dry before watering again. In summer, wait until the top half of the soil is semi-dry before watering. For a 5.0″ potted Lemon Lime Philodendron without direct sunlight, aim to water with 0.8 cups every 9 days. Soil: Plant your Lemon Lime Philodendron in well-draining, quality potting soil. The soil should be loose enough to provide adequate air circulation to the roots. Fertilizer: During the active growth period (typically April through August), occasionally fertilize your Lemon Lime Philodendron with a balanced fertilizer like a 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 formula.

In this guide, we’ll share valuable secrets to help your Harlequin Pothos grow beautifully and stay healthy. So, let’s dive right in and discover the tricks that will make your plant shine with radiant beauty! Origins: A Natural MarvelThe Harlequin Pothos, scientifically known as Epipremnum aureum ‘Harlequin,’ is a cultivar derived from the popular Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum). While the exact origin of the Harlequin Pothos remains shrouded in mystery, it is believed to have emerged through selective breeding and natural variations of the original species like Manjula pothos.Plant enthusiasts and horticulturists have long been fascinated by the unique color patterns and leaf variations found in this exquisite cultivar. Let’s take a closer lookhttps://preview.redd.it/iefqc2e29pyb1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ae22d83512e1f683e6232bbcbcfee3211659945 Harlequin Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Harlequin’) is a visually captivating plant. Its leaves are predominantly white, with marbled patterns that consist of medium to dark green splashes. The variegation creates a beautifully intricate mosaic-like effect on the foliage. The heart-shaped leaves have smooth edges and taper to a point. The overall appearance of the Harlequin Pothos is bright and eye-catching, adding a touch of elegance and charm to any indoor setting. Harlequin Pothos VS Manjula Pothoshttps://preview.redd.it/9gmb8jc49pyb1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ea0d9c033a26c29f5eca94f27531fd2d3e7a6de Distinguishing between various Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) varieties can be quite challenging, as they share similar characteristics, leading to occasional mislabeling in stores. It can be a puzzling task to differentiate these captivating plants from one another, often requiring a keen eye and a deeper understanding of their subtle nuances. When comparing the Harlequin Pothos to the Manjula Pothos, the primary distinction lies in the variegation itself. The Harlequin Pothos showcases a higher proportion of white and less light green compared to the Manjula. The foliage of the Harlequin Pothos is exclusively bright white with hints of green, devoid of gold, yellow, cream, or gray tones.

2023.11.06 02:34 genman Nobody Nursery
I think one aspect I like about native gardening is that it really can feel limiting but the number of species available in a biome is much larger that what’s even commercially viable through native retail nurseries. I feel what I know about is just a tiny part of the whole. submitted by genman to NativePlantGardening [link] [comments] In the Pacific Northwest we have a huge range of environs from coastal rainforests to alpine to desert and riparian communities. Even in just the Seattle area, we have salt and freshwater marshes, hills and valleys. I haven’t shopped here just window shopped, mostly since a lot of these species are for Eastern Washington, but also not for my particular yard. But something about a nursery that does sell plants you can’t find anywhere else is exciting for me, and maybe you too are interested in seeing more varieties of native plants. The other part of this we need to consider is that nurseries sell (just?) the pretty stuff. Flowers and well shaped trees. The scruffy plants that look likes weeds are often forgotten. I have a friend who does forest restoration doesn’t want to grow Golden Currant (Ribes aureum) since he’d rather go with the prettier Red species instead. I have my own biases as well, and it reflects on what is planted in my yard. And pretty plants and trees that are hard to grow are also planted less. One of my favorite trees, the Madrona, isn’t exactly popular snce they require specific conditions and can only be planted young. They have high mortality. The other thing I think about is simply how plants often have terrible (or great) names and that may be what makes a plant sell or not. |

With its stunning green and stark white leaves, this small-sized Pothos variety is sure to captivate your heart. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll provide you with everything you need to know to ensure your Glacier Pothos thrives and flourishes.

This small-sized pothos features rounder leaves, setting it apart from most other types. What truly catches the eye is the dazzling variegation, with striking white striations adorning the leaves. While the N’Joy pothos and Snow Queen pothos also boast white and green foliage, reminiscent of the glacier pothos, it is the distinct leaf shape that distinguishes the glacier pothos. Its leaves are thinner and rounder, adding a touch of elegance to its overall look. Additionally, upon closer inspection, the glacier pothos reveals three distinct hues. In between the white and green sections of the leaves, you may notice a subtle silver coloration, providing a captivating intermediate shade. Unlike the N’Joy Queen plant, the white markings on the glacier pothos appear streaky rather than patchy, further enhancing their unique form. Why Glacier Pothos Has Become a Household Favorite?https://preview.redd.it/13fgzr3a8wxb1.jpg?width=683&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21ce4822f58bd832f6c4bd48046d0789e6d3cce6Glacier Pothos has become a favored choice among plant enthusiasts for several reasons.

How to Grow and Care for Glacier Pothoshttps://preview.redd.it/bi0d7wzb8wxb1.jpg?width=614&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0711b44ef829b86ea9d351cde3a742dbc18bb2dMedium Light Place your Glacier Pothos in medium to bright indirect light. Unlike other varieties of pothos, such as the all-green Jade Pothos, the Glacier Pothos requires medium light conditions to truly flourish. This is primarily because of its variegated leaves. While some pothos varieties can tolerate low light, the Glacier Pothos thrives when exposed to a moderate amount of light. Therefore, it’s essential to provide this plant with adequate light to maintain the vibrant beauty of its variegation. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Watering Water your Glacier Pothos when the top inch of soil feels dry. It prefers slightly moist soil but can handle short periods of dryness. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s better to err on the side of underwatering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged soil. Humidity While the Glacier Pothos can adapt to average household humidity, it appreciates slightly higher levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a water-filled tray near the plant. This is particularly beneficial during dry seasons or in environments with low humidity. Temperature The Glacier Pothos thrives in average room temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but is sensitive to cold drafts. Avoid placing it near windows, doors, or air conditioning vents that may expose it to chilly air. Soil Plant your Glacier Pothos in well-draining soil. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite or a commercial potting mix works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Fertilization Feed your Glacier Pothos with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or halt fertilization during the dormant period (fall and winter). Pruning Trim leggy vines and remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s shape and appearance. Pruning also provides an opportunity for propagation through stem cuttings. Propagation Glacier Pothos can be propagated by taking stem cuttings and rooting them in water or directly in soil. This allows you to expand your collection or share the joy of this beautiful plant with others. Can I grow Glacier Pothos outdoors?Glacier Pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Glacier’) is primarily cultivated as an indoor houseplant due to its preference for moderate light conditions and its sensitivity to extreme temperatures. In its natural habitat, Glacier Pothos is native to tropical regions and thrives in the warm, humid environments found indoors.While it may be possible to grow Glacier Pothos outdoors in certain regions with similar tropical climates, it is important to consider factors such as temperature, sunlight exposure, and humidity levels. If exposed to direct sunlight or cold temperatures, Glacier Pothos may experience leaf burn or damage. Therefore, it is generally recommended to cultivate Glacier Pothos as an indoor plant where its environmental conditions can be controlled and optimized for its growth and well-being. Common Issues and Solutionshttps://preview.redd.it/72c60vzj8wxb1.jpg?width=683&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3574734a5f99012446f18560b964e3151f050368 Drooping Leaves: Drooping leaves in Glacier Pothos can indicate either over-watering or under-watering. Solution: To address this issue, first, assess the moisture level of the soil. If the soil feels consistently wet or waterlogged, it’s likely over-watering. In such cases, allow the soil to dry out before watering again. On the other hand, if the soil feels dry and the leaves are wilted, it may be a sign of under-watering. Increase the frequency of watering and ensure that the plant receives adequate moisture, allowing the soil to remain slightly moist but not soggy. Sparse Vines: Sparse vines on Glacier Pothos can be a result of insufficient light. Solution: This plant thrives in medium to bright indirect light. If the plant is placed in a location with low light levels, it may experience reduced growth and sparse foliage. To address this issue, relocate the Glacier Pothos to a spot with brighter, indirect sunlight. Ensure that it receives at least a few hours of light each day, but avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, which can lead to leaf burn. If natural light is limited, supplement it with artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light intensity for optimal growth.
