What's eating my alocasia?
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. ... read full post

Hoya compacta variegated in bloom!
They really do smell a bit like chocolate. Had this plant for almost 2 years now and it's finally showing its love.

After 4 years my banana tree decided it was time to fruit!
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!

Here's the promised video of my Nepenthes snacking
https://files.catbox.moe/4dpzh7.mp4I converted into a GIF, but somehow the file size increased from 4 to 120 MB 🥴
So, here's the video :)

How to treat mealy bugs on pings?
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. ... read full post

Crassula
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 😬

My Drosera capensis seeds finally sprouted! Look how cute they are! 🤗
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. ... read full post

My string of hearts (Ceropegia woodii) is blooming!
I've never seen this before in my life! Fuzzy black petals? Chalice like stem? Very cool and very mysterious.

And that right there is a bull North American common house fly, probably pushing 14 milligrams, trapped in the mucusy clutches of my cape sundew.
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.

What's wrong?
Too much water / not enough water / something else?

Look, I just really don't like working with soil in my apartment [DWC with Caladium, Tradescantia, Hawaiian "Ti"]
https://video.4d2.org/w/czRvnS2neGKNdogm5dr7kKSemi-hydro is so popular now, but everyone says to replace the water every few days because it runs out of oxygen. Coming from the aquarium/pond world I thought, "what if I put an extra bubble thing+pump into the pot?" ... read full post

Are the black marks on my hoya vine fugus?
This Hoya is growing like crazy, but I noticed these black marks on the vine. It also had some mold growth on the pon. I repotted with fresh pon into a pot that, I’m hoping, will allow better airflow. The roots looked really good. Do I need to do any additional treatment?
