@Leeski I had to dig my Buddas up. Tank is balanced now. LOL.

And @getogrow here is an overdue update. My dendrobiums got toasted on my heat mat. Wife plugged it in for me thinking the cat unplugged it. One is now throwing shoots prolifically. Thinks it is dying. LOL. Other went to dormancy on me. My vanda? Well the intense heat and dry wind elephant skinned a lot of it. In my bathroom sucking humidity and dealing with a bacterial I thought I removed. I'll get a pic of it soon. Got good roots going again. But ashamed.

Love your buddah fish tank ....beautiful man!

I cut the stem off my orchid to try and get it to root......its not rooting. When will my plant shoot out another stalk ? Mine is very healthy, growing great, but no signs of another flower or stem ?

It looks cool but it doesn't smell good. My patio smells like a rotting animal carcass and there is a swarm of flies around it. It's pollinated by flies so it has a nasty odor to attract them. I'm hoping to get some viable seeds from it this year.

It's in the same family as the Titan, no?

Not my plant below but they call them corpse flowers

Yes they are related. I went and saw a Corpse flower blooming at the Washington State University campus in Vancouver Washington a couple years back. I wasn't going to miss it. Not many opportunities to see one blooming in person so I got my ass down there to check it out.

gnats....holy fuck do they love the shit outta my chunky coco.


Next time , leave them laying on top of the moist soil and you can see which ones root an move them to another pot or 50. Also you can take note on which ones root fast ect... (i only do it to seperate them)

Good idea I will get there eventually kinda cool the leaves that drop off naturally seem to take root so much faster got a few in terrariaum that only took few wks

I think your onto something there sir.....
The wrinkley older leaves seem to root much faster. Im guessing it has something to do with the life cycle or however you would word it.... The older leaves die off outdoors and start new plants , so maybe those leaves are the better choice to pick for pups vs healthier looking ones?

The guy that got banned on here would know the answer to that one i think...


I "upgraded" my 1984 keyboard with a new model and im missing buttonbs and adding letters ever which [place they shouldnt be.... pardon my typing :wall:

Yer kinda got me thinking I know the leaves hold water which new root system has access to but maybe it produces rooting hormone and it’s at its strongest when it falls Naturally it’s kind of obvious I guess but fascinating nonetheless

I absolutely love sunflowers. Yours look fantastic so I needed to share. You can claim it but you have to shuck it if you claim it :lol:

I hang the heads in the shed for a while and then get the seeds. They are nice.

I saw some people BBQ the heads but I think they did it wrong. They pulled mature heads so I bet there was lots of shell fibers in it.
If it were me I would cut a nearly raw flower so the seeds are still soft and not fibrous. Then BBQ it with the sauce and some herb.

This head here is about 13" give or take. I will get a full shot for you later

Thanks for sharing. Your terrarium is badass also. I might need to get me one of them :blsmoke:

Never considered that- use to put roasted sunflower seeds in salads back in a previous life (ex chef) it’s hard In my location as weathers is fricking crap for sun loving plants got a little bet half a zip with my mate who can grow the tallest im silently not confident lol
He loses either way my herbs crap compared to his hehe
Thank you for nice comments on terrariaum it’s kinda worked out better than expected was unsure if a living soil sip kinda system would would work but touch wood 4 months in a no major issues …☮

Hey so.. Calling upon the plant people here. I took in a tropical plant and I think I am killing it....

Has anyone grown red croton?? This is a pic from online.


1625805273391.png

Mine looked like this for about a week. And then the leaves started turning green? But I want it to look like Darth Maul still...

I asked around and mostly everyone said it needs more light? So I put this bad baby under 600 Watts and a bit more humidity and now it's really green? I mean it looks OK but all the colors went away and it's shooting green leaves everywhere...

Anybody have Croton thumbs? Is it just because it's tropical and acclimating? Sorry I didn't put any pics my phone broke today. Thanks in advance
