@lindseysgreencanvas 3 месяца назад

Philodendron Brandtianum, I wish someone would have told me what a shite grower this plant was, and there is no bushy trailing to be had. It took me way too long to give up on this plant, because I was not hearing chatter so I thought it was purely me. Ugh, now I can't get rid of this plant because I think everyone is aware of how bad it is.

@Lady_Lavandula 3 месяца назад

I threatened to throw mine away and it finally started giving me leaves again. We’ll see what happens 😅 gave me two beautiful leaves but now it’s back to its shenanigans. My two moss poles I have are pink princess and brandtianum and I’m constantly thinking I should demote them and from pole status and give my other plants a go. 🥲

Oh my god, I was JUST looking at mine and snarling at it right before I read your comment!! Mine is on a bamboo circle and the stem grows like crazy but not the leaves. I was just thinking of trashing it this years. Or rather, sitting it outside this spring...survival of the fittest! Maybe it'll perk up outside. I've had it for three years and given it the best conditions I could indoors!

@luk6085 3 месяца назад

So the disappointment of my life was philodendron verrucosum. Their growth pattern is horrible as their stems elongate to reach god in heavens and they just have this toxic relationship with spider mites, I just can't with that plant.🙅🏻‍♀️

@Lisamakes 3 месяца назад

Pink princess philodendron attracted me to plants to begin with. I bought a baby, and I have never had more than a splash of pink. I’ve almost tossed it a few times. That said, now I love beautiful green plants and I’m happy I fell for the Pink Princess to lead me to this hobby.

@nackedgrils9302 3 месяца назад

PPP was in such high demand that people were propagating it like crazy and selling every one of their cuttings without any quality control. I bought two small plants in 2021, one of them has completely reverted and is currently sitting in the compost bin and the other, which has shown just a tiny bit of variegation, has been chopped and propped this afternoon to see if I can get a bit more variegation on the propagates. Anyway, they can be really pretty but there are so many bad ones out there that I feel like it gained a bad reputation.

@GEOMETRICINK 3 месяца назад

I only love the pink princess because I happen to love the reverted, dark green version. I suggest getting an extremely highly variegated specimen. I’ve been seeing a highly variegated, marbled, tissue cultured, version in big box stores. It seems stable.

@kayleeradney954 3 месяца назад

Try propagating it a lot mine had only a few speckles here and there so I cut the whole thing up and put it under more light and now I’m getting almost half moon leaves

@Lisamakes 3 месяца назад

@@kayleeradney954 oh wow! I just might do that! I tried cutting off the top, but it didn’t seem to help much. Drastic measures may be necessary. ;)

@gypsylee333 Месяц назад

You should just buy a different specimen that has more pink on it when you buy it. I've had one for a couple years, every leaf has bubblegum pink cuteness and it got root rot so I just chopped her up and if anything the new leaves are even MORE pink and stunning. It's such a good plant when you get a nice one, give it another chance now that they're cheap! Just buy one with lots of pink online where you can choose a specific specimen.

@TheSnuffy1994 3 месяца назад

My Burle Marx flame actually grows quickly but I'm in S FL. I get about a new leaf a month with my latest leaf the size of a dinner plate. Nothing disappointing in my experience

@Elisabetta_art 3 месяца назад

Same for me tbh. Mine grows very nicely. And not gangely at all. The oposite happened. I had to use an execto knife in order to chop it, since the internodal spacing was so damn narrow. I had mine in bright light, high humidity and gave it a mosspole.

@auraleiaaa3286 3 месяца назад

Regarding the Tandurusa, I was very active in the FB groups back then when it suddenly popped up. Jacklyn openly admitted to poaching it, saying that she pulled it out of the ground and snuck it onto the plane back to the states. She tried to defend herself quite a bit after she got a lot of shit for it, which didn't go well. Many of the posts were deleted but there are screenshots of the person's original posts and the comment sections, albeit difficult to find.

@plantypittsburgh 3 месяца назад

But her plant sparkled the popularity. It's not the mother of the millions of tissue culture plants out there.

But it's still putting out leaves! Small ones, still in small form but we've had several rescue missions. Looking forward to purchasing from you again in the future!

@katherinejones8544 3 месяца назад

I put mine into pon and it’s been super happy. The leaves are sizing up nicely, it’s fine in ambient humidity and indirect light. It is a slow grower but the pay off when you get a new leaf is worth it and it’s been super easy to care for (at least for me).

I am from where the Alocasia Jacklyne just grow in some people’s backyards (if you’re in the countryside in the mountainous area), I’m not sure I would call it poaching if it’s from someone’s backyard. Locals called it Tandu Rusa which means Stag Horns.

@kindallnight1615 3 месяца назад

No it’s not poaching if it’s native to your country or land but it is poaching for people to go into the forest that are protected and take them after they have completely wiped the plants from where they could be found regularly.

I find the Monstera Burle Marx Flame grow at a very decent pace. I mean, it grow at the same speed as my Thaï Constellation, which isn't fast, but decent. Actually I find both very similar in speed og growth and amount of happiness the give me: both mature quickly, both dont give me leggy stems etc... But I keep mine in dry air and blast it with south facing window sun. It's suspected to come from an even dryer forest than "sierrana" so I kind of treat it like a cacti/aroid hybrid.

Our Spider plants do fantastic in both a S and W window as they like a lot of light. The S one gets moderate to high humidity (kitchen). I have a small one thriving in an E window tho it gets dry tips cos humidity lower in there. Also, like my syngoniums, it doesn’t tolerate my local tapwater at allll. So it gets captured rainwater, melted snow, or distilled water.

Both alocasia dragon scale and silver dragon were also the topics of poaching here in Indonesia for quite some times. Many illegal sellers hunted these species in the jungle without permission of course and sold them for reasonable price. I've been going back and forth before purchasing them but finally I found the ones from a reputable seller in early 2020. My dragon scale died a month after purchasing, but the silver one is still thriving up until now. And about the jacklyn, I think it wasn't found by this woman, but popularized. She is Jacklin Manein Pilendatu, plant lover from south sulawesi. I forgot about how she first discovered the plant but some of us Indonesians ourselves including our authority are still hoping that this plant can have a scientific name. At the moment some people also refuse to call it alocasia jacklyn and call it alocasia sulawesi or tandu rusa instead (rusa means deer in Bahasa. It's called that way because it looks like a deer's head with its horn.)

@TwoWitchyMoons 3 месяца назад

I actually got a paraiso and a jaclyn a couple of weeks ago and then just learned a few days ago about the paraiso needing heat for the variegation. Which completely explains why it's only putting out green leaves in my 70 degree living room. Super disappointed, but I don't think I paid that much for it so I'm just sucking it up. The Jaclyn I had no idea about the back story of it. I saw an adult and thought it was gorgeous, so when I saw someone selling a smaller plant with a couple of leaves, I grabbed it. The day it got here ll of the leaves were curled up really bad. I've lost one so far, but I had to put it in perlite in a plastic cup humidity chamber under a grow light and it's still not really doing anything Still a bit curled but I'm just disappointed. Definitely not what I was expecting. The adansonii actually explains a lot. I bought. single leaf cutting of a vareigated one (not a mint) and no matter what I do for it, it's just curled on the edges and feels dry, even though it's not. We live and we learn I guess. Thank you for always giving us the best info!

I don't hate it, actually! Growing quite fast & I do rather like the look of it. I've followed the controversy over it and it doesn't phase me. I will keep it growing with my other Aroids & Orchids and see how it sizes up. I do particularly like the "Voo Doo Lily-esque" Petioles and I'm quite glad one made it's way home to me! 👍🌱☺️

If not, then I'll chop and prop and make a bushier plant and live with the green leaves, they are still pretty. But for me, my most disappointing plant is the pink princess. I hate it. I despise it with every fiber of my being. I paid $7 for the first one, pre-pandemic, and I paid $12 for the second one, last year. I have four of them now and they all grow horribly. Every single one of them has the same problem - the leaves get stuck while trying to emerge. Every single leaf. Why haven't I tossed them out? I'm not a plant murderer 😂

I don't personally have one, but a friend of mine does have one. Midwestern US, so we've got very hot and humid summers. My friend hates this plant, even in the height of the summer hers throws leaves that are meh at best.

late to the party, but my rare disappointment goes to the p. jose bueno: not bueno at all when I found out the elder variegated leaves were turning from creamy to green-ish 😪

My Burle Marx Flame puts out a leaf every 2-3 weeks. But I'm in SEA and I grow it outside, so I guess it's not for other climates?

The Brandy; the Melano; the Pariso; the Gigas have been my biggest dissapointments. Of course the Pink Princess, but I haven't given up on that one for some reason. I also couldn't get the Peru to grow. Gave it away. How about a video of plants that out performed your expectations.

Can’t wait to try your new fertiliser. Last year I used liquid gold leaf but didn’t notice any improvement in my plants. I ordered your fertiliser about a week ago and it’s not been dispatched yet , any idea how long it takes for delivery ? Thank you 🙏

Geogenanthus ciliatus has been a disappointment for me. There was a big TADA about having a 'new' plant introduction, but since the first wave of them showed up from Costa Farms in the US I haven't seen or heard much more about them- and the one I have is very MEH. I was so excited to get one in 2022 and it looked nice and full when I bought it. Fast forward to now- its not dying, but not thriving, it just looks sorta weak and sad. I have moved it to different light sources, carefully monitored watering, fertilized it, added heat, added humidity- nope. Never thought something related to Tradescantia could struggle so much to grow. No one else I know who bought one around the same time even has theirs anymore ( they died) so its weird that something supposedly very low maintenance has become the biggest diva in my plant collection.

@therealsassyama682 3 месяца назад

I absolutely love my strawberry shake, it's like all the other Instagram plants, luckily. However, my paraiso verde is so gangly and small with the longass petioles and their pure green leaves lol I'll bring it to the office which gets very warm in summer and just hope the heat works out to bring at least some joy for the plant back 😂. Such a disappointment

@apieceofcoffee 3 месяца назад

oh my god my lupium is the most disappointing plant I own. And for some reason I still try to get my spindly vine growing. Ugh

@StalkerNaturaliste 3 месяца назад

My local botanical garden have Cercestis mirabilis, as well as a few of my friends. It seems to be a cool and easy plant to grow as long as you dont care for it like a typical epiphytic aroid. Contrary to what I read online it seems to be a terestrial one, with leaves poking out of the soil and no visible stem.

@katherinejones8544 3 месяца назад

I watched a video where they were growing it outside and they are climbers. They’ll wrap around and grow up a tree and shoot out runners like a hoya, then baby’s grow off the runners. You can also chop up the runner and prop it in moss. I have mine in pon in ambient humidity under a grow light, and it’s been super easy to grow, but does grow pretty slow. The leaves will also bleach if the light is too bright so it’s more of a medium to indirect bright light plant.

@marceljurak8915 3 месяца назад

My BMF grows like crazy. It just needs loads of light.

@Latayla 3 месяца назад

The amount of times I walked pass Cercestis Mirabilis in the garden center. I wasn’t the only one either. It stayed on the clearance table in the garden center for at least 2 months😅. I love my Tandurusa and EU mint. I’m however diss appointed in the Epipremnum Victory (also known as Marble Green and Jungle star) Gosh, do I like Robert McCracken. Always dropping all the knowledge.

@nackedgrils9302 3 месяца назад

Burle Marx Flame disappointment gang member, I've had mine for almost a year at this point and it grew two leaves but also dropped two leaves in that time. That's it... I've recently moved it to a propagation bin which has almost 100% RH and it seems to be picking up, so I think that this is a plant that really needs that high humidity early on. I'll let it seize up and move it back to my office when it's more mature.

Pilea peperomioides or however its spelled. I could never seem to get a well balanced plant with consistent growth habit.

@heatherjensen3327 3 месяца назад

My pariso isnt the best grower, it only ever has two leaves but my variegation is AMAZING all the time. My apartment is 65-90 degrees all year (old drafty apartment that is hard to heat/cool in appropriate seasons) and its under a grow light 12 hours a day.

Monstera varigated adasonii.. im struggling SO HARD to get it to grow. Theres next to no green so it just dies 😞 never gone past 3 leaves

@user-bi7jh5cr3r 3 месяца назад

I definitely agree with the adansonii mint- it does look terribly sick every day- and Every Calathea I ever owned 😄even though I’m at a point where they do have ok-ish leaves. I’m actually also disappointed by the obliqua peru- because for every new leaf it catches a new parasite and I constantly have to treat it with pesticides- it’s a whimsical plant in my house
