It's Mother's Day in Germany and my kids gifted me these three plants. Unfortunately there are no stickers on the pots and no signs sticking in the soil so I have no solid info on what these are.
Can anyone help and give advice on how to care for them correctly?
This is Mother Monster. She's only been in this pot for four months and already growing out of it. I am absolutely amazed. And a bit frightened. Where will this end?!
Before anyone asks: I have absolutely zero special advice. I don't have the green thumb, my apartment does. It's every indoor plant's wet dream, it seems. I've had Mother Monster for seven years, got her as a little prop with three leaves from a coworker. She's always been doing well but this apartment... I mean, look what it does! There's only two ways I'm ever leaving here, and that is against my will and fighting, or feet first and cold.
Here's the data for anyone interested:
Northern Germany, west facing window on the 3rd floor, water when first 3cm are dry (every three days atp, help!), rarely take out pups, fertilise with every second to third watering with a laughingly cheap fertiliser I got for 1,50€ at Action. That's really all. The medium is vegetable soil and I've never changed it completely, only ever top-dressed and repotted the entire root ball with all the old medium and just filled up the gaps. I actually recommend vegetable soil, I use it for almost all my plants except those with very niche needs like cacti. It has lots of nutrients, it drains really well while holding a good amount of water due to all the large chunks of wood and fibers, and it never gets soggy or solid. If anyone is close and wants a pup, dm me ✌️
I just love it when she pushes out these weirdos.
