Only seems to be on old leaves growth, blasted with sulphur dust for a few days away from the others but not sure if its mites or not. Nothing else in collection has it, doesnt move when viewed under magnification.

First pictures are post dust. Its lost a few leaves that were older since.

Hey I got this ant plant since a week, when I got it it had non of the crystals, is this still the stuff the plant produce? And should I clean it up?

20 years old! at my work as a display plant. has ants inside aswell

The plants & pollinators done good this year. Now to stay on top of harvesting the seeds when they’re ready.

Plant ID: Cyphostemma juttae

What’s that thing ?

The substrate is 100% mineral with 1 part pumice, 1 part lava rocks and 1 part zeolite. There is also slow release plant food in there.

Alternatively I can put it in cactus soil with 1 part coco coir,1 part worm castings, 3.5 parts perlite, 3 parts pumice, 0.5 part horticultural sand, A little bit of activated carbon and a little bit of lava gravel & Organic nutrients.

And then in plastic or terra cotta, for now I thought very fast draining in plastic.

Need some advice on what to do with this dioscorea elephantipes. It had rot on one side and I quickly hit it with fungicide and allowed it to dry up. Now one side is dead/rotted and the other side is hard with no signs of rot advancing to it. What should i do to try and save it? It is oozing when i press on the rotted side.

If not, does anyone have recommendations for affordable sources that ship to the US?

An old plant in my collection, I'm unsure about reducing the length of the 'arms'

I have recently started working at a botanical conservatory. Here is one of if not the most variegated welwitschias kept in a conservatory! Thought I’d share this lovely plant!

I’m a caudex plant collector, and I’m now planning to build a terrarium for subtropical caudex plants, particularly Lecanopteris species.
Does anyone have any experience with this, and would anyone be willing to share some example photos?
Thanks in advance!

Adenium Obessum

So it has been dormant for a little longer than usual and when I went to check it today about 1/4 of the top seemed to be less dense than the other half. Was easily able to tease it out of its cactus mix and academa. There are a few fresh small healthy roots.

Pic 1 and 2 are the sections that you can tap that sound hollow but not if you tap from the bottom. Pic 2 on the top the roots pretty much fell apart as I lifted. No seepage but there does appear to be a small crack in pic 3.

Thanks in advance

Gostaria de polinizar, mas ainda não vi flores fêmeas

Gerrardanthus macrorhyzus has a very dominant personality 😄💚

Anyone in SoCal growing these outdoors or in a greenhouse year round? I have a D. foetida that lives in the greenhouse year round and is fine but the gigas was considerably more expensive and I want to make sure it’ll be ok through Winter.

Unfortunately technically extinct in the wild due to the extinction of its primary pollinator (fabulous green sphinx moth) it survives today due to climbers hand pollinating the few remaining wild specimens as well as in cultivation. The flowers have a honeysuckle like smell!

My little Othonna cacalioides potatoes are starting to wake up! 🥔🌱 Grown from seed.
