Here are some of my plants. I am in Queensland, Australia. Bingeing the thread over the last couple of days I've noticed plant similarities with Florida and Ecuador. A wandering iris flower I just like.  Crotons I have grown from cuttings.  Various things.  Red cordyline in flower.  Overnight flower from a cactus/succulent (I saw a lot of these in the thread).  Magnolia.  Jamaican croton. I love the foliage and the deep purple flower.  A potted grevillea. These might be my favourite flower. The birds love them, the bees love them, I love them!  Frog on a ficus.  And the same fella now turned reddish-brown a couple of weeks after moving under the red leaved plant in the pic.  Thanks for looking!

Oh my goodness how did you even notice them? I'd be inclined to scrape them off or hit 'em with some white oil.

I just checked mine and they are all in the same spots as yours. Surely they are part of the plant.

Persian shield that I thought had died but came back more vibrant than ever. Staghorn on a palm.  A dead staghorn with an air fern attached to it and draped with Spanish moss. Edit to add that there is also a tiny orchid somewhere amongst that mess.  The biggest cutting I've ever taken. A dracaena branch from a monstrous plant. Once it roots I'll put it in the ground somewhere.

That is one sinister looking begonia! It seems very healthy, I have no idea what the things are. If I had them in my plants I wouldn't be concerned.

It is such a travesty when a big 'ol tree dies/has to be cut down.

In what way does your kitty destroy them? Attacking the actual plant? Or knocking them over? Or burying treats in them like my little Lucy does?  edit to add: Sometimes it's cough lollies.

HolHorsejob posted:She's a leaf chomper. Every plant is catnip to this cat. Ferns, spider plant, coffee bush, anything. She perks up immediately upon seeing plant and will stop at nothing until the plant is out of the house or chomped out of existence. She stops short of jumping into hanging pots but That is a very funny habit she has. There are small plastic hanging pots available but the bulk of the weight will come from the soil and plant. I think the earlier suggestion to have available cat grass is probably worth trying. They go nuts for it.

I have a couple of potted fiddle leafs that are 6 feet tall. I cut them both a couple of months ago so now they're 2 feet or so. They're both shooting really well with beautiful glossy leaves. It was the start of spring when I did it.

I don't have a recommendation but I have to say I don't trust orchids. They are not of this world.

indigi posted:check out this lil cutie. started poking up on Wednesday, I've never seen anything on a succulent grow so quickly Very pretty! I feel that succulents store a whole lot of energy just to pump out their flowers with great gusto. Especially true of agaves. I have about eight that have shot out their flower stalks in the last few weeks. The size and growth rate of these are incredible.

I had a potted grevillea that was going swimmingly until we had a week or so of very high temps and it died pretty quickly, despite me watering it frequently. I was devastated.

Organza Quiz posted:Oh no! I only planted this one in December and it's doing great so far so hopefully it'll be fine for subsequent summers. It does get shade in the afternoon so maybe that helps. I think the max was 35 Celsius for a couple of days. It was originally a Bunnings plant, so it probably spent most of its life in a greenhouse down south somewhere. I bought it in winter and had it for 6 months before it died. cest la vie huh fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Apr 4, 2024 |

That's a nice idea. I've got a native violet (viola hederacea) that is a ground covering plant but it's in a hanging pot, so it spills over the pot in a lovely way. Until I cut it last weekend it was hanging down about 1.5 metres.

Wow, that scaevola is pretty. A quick search tells me most of those pictured are native to south Western Australia. I holidayed in Perth for a couple of weeks once but didn't have the appreciation for plants that I do now. I plan on going back over one of these days. It is so exciting to see the difference in bushland and gardens in other Aussie states. And I just yesterday bought a new grevillea. Specifically because it is supposed to flower year-round, and I have a lot of honey eaters around here that love them. Random photo of what it is supposed to look like.

bagmonkey posted:It’s a rhizome that rooted off a ZZ leaf but lost the leaf before it could throw up a stalk. I’ve been faithfully watering it for like 6 months now and last month it started to grow a nubbin and now it’s a whole rear end stalk. It’s gonna be the tiniest little thing too You persevered for 6 months? That's impressive!

indigi posted:anyone ever hosed with plumeria? seeds/cuttings/saplings, no experience refused Are you in a warm-ish area? That will certainly help. They will grow very readily from a cutting. Cut it, let it scab over for a few days, put it in dirt.

Despite having used fertilizer for years I didn't know what the components actually did. Wikipedia says: * three main macronutrients (NPK): Nitrogen (N): leaf growth Phosphorus (P): development of roots, flowers, seeds, fruit; Potassium (K): strong stem growth, movement of water in plants, promotion of flowering and fruiting;

indigi posted:I'd like to grow some trees not necessarily to bonsai-fy but I think it'd be neat to have a few 12~16 inch trees that look like regular fully grown trees but I got them from Lilliput or a mini world. I’m not interested in shaping them other than keeping them manageably-sized for a desk but maybe ultimately that is still bonsai idk. I've a few different trees in pots that are about 4 - 5 feet tall that would otherwise be 30 feet or so if planted in the ground. I've grown them from seeds. They are easy to move around as I desire, and look just like the larger version of them do.
