They are a tropical morning glory that open at night. They are fast bloomers. Not my video.What exactly is a Moon Flower? Looks crazy. And what do you mean by watch it open and close?
After seeing everyone's Terrarium creations I went and bought a fish tank for some my Begonias. Too shy to share yet though
It's Saturday time to smoke something good. Probably go hunt down some more plants too.
Hi mate, I have got nearly 100% success rate by taking a bottom leaf, needs to be a clean break and then letting it scab over for 5-7 days. Some are bit more fussy than others. Then as long as there’s contact with soil they usually Chuck roots in 2-3wks. I just mist around the leaf once a day, avoid misting leaf as they tend to rot before they can chuck some anchors down. I found this little fella the other day behind a pot red horn leaf has never seen soil. Waterfall is ongoing just upgraded all my fish gear so money is a little tight at the min but decided I am going to make my own out of clay …..@Leeski I am in need of thoughts on my succulents. Terrarium grew like crazy and now issues. Looking for info on better propagation than I have. TY and hows that water feature going?
Same here. Only didn't start. Still deciding where to put what and how to light. I love live greenery in winter.I strip 3/4 of the bottom leaves off a mother /donor plant then just dip tops in rooting hormone powder only just started doing this so work in progress View attachment 4981143View attachment 4981145
I wasn't aware that mealybugs were in the soil. I thought they lived on the leaves and stems sucking food from the plant. You can use just an insecticidal soap, citric acid, or just spray them off with water.So I think some of my lophs got hit with a minor root mealybug infestation.. @xtsho do you recommend anything as a soil drench to control these guys? I was thinking of doing a neem soil drench or botanigard 22WP beuvaria bassiana as a soil drench...what do you think ?? Thank you!
I thought the same thing..there’s actually a species of mealybug that hangs out in the soil feeding on roots, they’re related to root aphids. They leave a chalky/powdery almost mycelium looking mass on roots. I noticed this mass on one of my lophs while transplanting and thought nothing of it until someone mentioned it on a different forumI wasn't aware that mealybugs were in the soil.

What about treating them like root aphids and doing a insecticidal soap soil drench?I thought the same thing..there’s actually a species of mealybug that hangs out in the soil feeding on roots, they’re related to root aphids.

Well I just learned something. I wasn't aware of root mealybugs. I would do a neem oil drench myself.I thought the same thing..there’s actually a species of mealybug that hangs out in the soil feeding on roots, they’re related to root aphids.
