First build

I layered sanitized pebbles, charcoal and sphagnum moss (that I wet with my liquid fertilizer mix). Plants are Syngonium Pixie, Dragon's Tongue, String of Hearts and wild harvested moss. Stuck in a piece of petrified wood and one of my favorite elephants. I found tthis container (approx. 10x5") at Michael's Craft store. My apartment is a dark basement so I rely heavily on grow lights. I'll move this around if it doesn't do well where it is and since I just built it today, I don't know what the watering schedule will be. But, it will be a liquid fertilizer, treated tap water and Microbe-Lift BMC mix. It's what I use on all my plants. Definitely gave me tons of ideas for future builds.

Help with identification

EDIT: Consensus identifies it as Bob's Allusion. Way to go Bob👍😉

This was a gift that I've been trying to identify for several days now. I'm somewhat confident that it's an allusion but then I'm lost. Berry, Bob, Mini, Snufflelupugus? I haven't a clue. All help is greatly appreciated!

I just found/joined this community. Propagation is in my top 3 favorite tasks of houseplant care. I restarted my collection just about one year ago to have something to get excited about again. ATM, it's 45 and counting (not counting my props), and I joined every pertinent group I could find here on Reddit.

These are Hoya Linearis props that I'm thrilled to have successfully started. I bought one, only one, rooted/potted strand from an Etsy seller (that's what I could afford) and had intended to just be patient and let it grow. I'm so glad I took the risk. Even that one leaf is rooting! It arrived on March 30 and this is a photo from this morning when I did my first check.

Had to share with those who would appreciate this feeling.

I'm still a newbie to understanding the how's and why's of variegation. So, when I brought home this Rio it was all about the name (My niece uses Rio as a nickname). There was some slight peach/pink in the greenhouse, but the last two days the color has really popped🤩 I had to take some pics because I'm aware it may not last.
