Running into mixed messages while reading about whether mulberries can be grown indoors or not. Does anyone know if they require their cold periods to live and function, or will they be healthy but simply not make fruit? I’d love to grow a berry bush or a similar sized ornamental shrub inside, but I do not have access to an outdoor space to give it chilling time. Has anyone done this before?
After the repotting and new environment stress, it initially lost all pitchers, but has formed new ones half a year ago.
Now, it is thriving and still has the problem, that every pitcher has no digestive liquid inside, even when still closed.
Thought you all might appreciate a follow-up now that a bunch of leaves have come in. Here’s hoping they remain for at least 6 months, that last dormancy took forever!
I’ve been taking my plants to the kitchen to water/drain 1-2 pots at a time but….I may or may not have purchased 10 more plants yesterday and that’s a lot of back and forth. They’re mostly in my foyer which is a half level down.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Looking for the wisdom of the more experienced. I have what I think is pest damage on my alocasia. I was suspicious of spidemites, but haven’t visualized any pests on the plant. I have been showering it and treating with insecticidal soap. The last leaf came out facing upwards and bowed, and it’s working on a new leaf now. It’s been next to another alocasia (that I’ve also been treating), but I’m not having issues with it. I also did accidentally let its water reservoir go dry. I don’t think that helped anything, but I don’t think it was the cause.
I bought a banana tree in August of 2021 and never thought it would actually fruit. I was walking by it the other night and saw something purple/maroon out of the corner of my eye. Popped my head between some leaves and was greeted by some baby bananas!
I have a bit of a conundrum. Twice now I’ve seen fairly large mealy bugs in this ping’s dish. ordinarilly I’d dunk the whole plant (roots and all) into insectidal soap for 30 minutes. With pings though I worry the leaves are too sensitive.
She’s growing wild on her windowsill. Need to add new earth soon, this is going to be interesting since she already threw a small branch towards me when I turned her for the photo 😬
This is my second try. I got a bunch of seeds from a hobbyist and put them on LECA first. Most of them got washed away, and those that stayed, died a pretty quick death.
I had to try a different method.
I honestly didn’t think it could take down prey that chunky but clearly the plant had other plans. Good riddance too, that fly was buzzing around the bedroom last night.
