Other Plants

Thats her :mrgreen: I figured out she likes to drink, and apparently is loving the coots mix soil. Im surprised its doing so well, it started at 18/6 for about a month, got switched to 12/12 for a couple weeks, and back into 18/6 again for a week or two. Crazy something called a Cowpea could be so attractive :lol:
 
Ive got a few strategically placed raisins in the pot, and for my cover crop I run a beneficial insect attractant mix.
First time I got ladybugs, I put a couple dishes with some moistened raisins in the cabinet with them. So instead of eating the spidermites I got them to battle, they just clustered their lazy asses around the raisins and didn't do more than glance at any pests :lol: I also didn't have a very inviting living space for them. Bare soil and mainlined plants with a pretty thin canopy. Now I don't defoliate nearly as much, run a cover crop that has some flowers mixed in, and pop a raisin or two in each pot. Plus I have a pot in each cabinet dedicated to the ladybugs, this plant is in one of my "habitats".
Ive seen a few mating, hopefully have some babies patrolling the area soon.
Is that whats causing some of the leaves to wrinkle? This pot was used for a plant i harvested a while ago, and I never reammended the soil. Just added a cover crop and let it it got. Ive some some hydrolyzed fish, ill hit her with some. Thanks for the info!!

After buying my first gross in total ignorance. I saw dollars and tried to breed them. Nightmare and native. LOL. But concerned about actual pests. And the plant needs a ph bump. Flowering. Sweet to me. Playing games with lemons in MI. .LMAO.

Having seen and grown what I thought were some epic pothos plants, turns out I actually had no idea:

I had thought about training a single vine to grow across multiple pots, setting roots in each one rather than coiling it back into the same pot. But I suspect gravity/height differential between the growing tip and roots might play a factor as well...maybe I could figure a way to train it from the first floor upstairs and into the skylight...

That one has been totally neglected. Ive had it the whole time that i thought i was good at growing. When i realized im just human and dont really know shit about plants i just left the biggest piece for the new owner of my home and kept the other half of the plant for myself. its now big enough to have a nice baby coming out the bottom and just like you said , the baby didnt pop out till i just left it alone .....just a lil plain tap here and there. Crazy! i love plants!
 
i got some real chunky and long fiber coco coming and i also grabbed some "fresh sphagnum moss". (im not sure what they call the "unmolested" moss vs the basic peat in promix or bales. )
Both of them are going to run a neutral ph, which is perfect for my homemade "soils". For all my house plants i plan on doing about 60% chucky coco, 20% perlite and 20% soil/ewc/compost. (after some time i'll adjust the soil up, im sure)

For the orchid , everyone says acidic ph so i will find some bark to use as the base. fir bark ?

Happy growing yall :bigjoint:
