A new leaf baby (the first in my care) has emerged! 😍😍😍
*Alocasia Shattered Glass. Currently acclimating (from soil) to semi-hydro in a self watering (with wick) set up in a stratum/perlite mix.
Apparently it can be “rare” or “uncommon” for a Caladium to flower. And a lot of people pinch off the blooms so that the plant concentrates on foliage. I did not-I think she is BEAUTIFUL! 🤩
*Caladium ‘Pink Splash’
*Lives outdoors in zone 8b, in my DIY chonky soil-less mix.
I have been waiting 700 years to be able to share this on Newest Monday! …Okay, not really as this baby just arrived on Thursday but I’ve been dreaming of her for years!!! 😍😍😍
*Alocasia Brancifolia Albo
*Just transferred yesterday into a self-watering with wick set up in a stratum/perlite mix for acclimating to my environment. And she already has some little baby corms forming!
Sometimes, okay all the times, I get so excited with the birth of every new leaf baby. It seems like with every new leaf, I fall more and more in awe with my plant babies!
*Alocasia Odora Albo
*Grown in a no-drainage set up in my chonky soil-less mix with a layer of Leca at the bottom. Using a super fancy upcycled quart sized pickle container from Aldi. 💅💁🏻♀️🤣
Her first closed sinus leaf baby! 😍😍😍
*Anthurium Forgetii -X- Zara
*Grown in a self-watering (with wick) semi-hydro set up in my DIY chonky Pon mix.
Count them! Mister Bartholomew is going to have not one, not two, but THREE fenestrations!!! I cannot wait for the full reveal! 🥹😭
*Monstera Thai Constellation. About 7 months old. Grown indoors in my chonky soil-less mix.
Yesterday, I woke up to find this beautiful surprise on the newest and freshly unfurled leaf baby!
*Alocasia Balloon Heart growing in a stratum/perlite mix in a self-watering (with wick) set up.
Had the joy of attending The Big Plant Expo this weekend in Charleston, SC. I had so much fun and added some beautiful new babies to my plant family! I can’t wait to see them all emerge and come into happiness in their new home! 😍😍😍
*Not pictured are 3 Anthurium Hybrid Seedlings and some ungerminated Anthurium Hybrid Seeds that I picked up. There isn’t much to show yet with them lol
