Anthurium Forgettii white stripe- grown from a tiny seedling! Still using spag moss because this is my first and only anthurium and I don’t want to mess up this amazing growth. Substrate advice? 🌱🩷 #plantsky #houseplants #anthurium #anthuriumaddicts #plantadvice #plants

Muiria Hortenseae! My weirdest plant, the sole member of the Muiria genus. It’s a succulent, and yes- it’s a fuzzy blob! Currently in my lithops mix, only time will tell if I can keep this strange little thing alive 👻 #succulents #plantsky #weirdplants #strange #succulent #plantlovers

So proud 🥹! Possibly my favorite orchid (don’t tell the others) has bloomed! Dendrobium Aussie’s Hi-Lo! Burned leaf is from keeping it too close to the grow light- clearly I’ve been forgiven! #plantsky #orchids #orchidbloom #miniorchids #plantlovers #orchidsky

Begonias: beautiful, colorful, pain in the butt. I know how to care for them on a technical level- but when it comes to my own home they just don’t thrive. Possibly due to my dry climate? Anyone have any tips? 😵💫🙏

Orchid myth #6: You can propagate orchids from leaves or stems. FALSE!
The only way to get a new orchid of any kind is from a seed, a division from the mother plant, or a keiki (baby orchid that can grow from the base or the flower spike) 🪴 #plantsky #orchids #houseplants #plantcare #botany

Orchid myth #5: Orchids prefer distilled water or rain water. TRUE!
Some orchids especially mini species are sensitive, and really need distilled or rain. Larger and hardier orchids are fine with tap, but you may see mineral buildup on the leaf tips

Orchid myth #4: Orchid bark is better/ Sphagnum moss is better. FALSE!
Your substrate should be based on the species, your environment and your watering habits!
Humid/Overwatering? Choose bark!
Dry/Underwatering? Choose moss!
That’s the just simple version 🌸 #plantsky #houseplants #orchids

Orchid myth #3: Orchid leaves like to be misted. FALSE!
Potted orchids don’t need mist, and it can actually make them vulnerable to fungus and crown rot! 😫 Only mounted orchids like misting- and mist should be directed at the roots, not the leaves! #plantsky #orchids #orchidcare #plantcare

Orchid myth #2: Orchids are hard to care for. IT DEPENDS!
Varieties like Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium and Oncidium can be extremely easy, even for beginners!
Genera like Phragmipedium, Bulbophyllum, Masdevallia etc. are definitely difficult 😣

Orchid myths:
Water Phalaenopsis with ice cubes? FALSE!
Most orchids including Phals are tropical epiphytes. The plant may survive but the cold will kill their roots!
Facts: Wait until the roots are silver, or until the substrate is totally dry- then completely soak! #plantsky #orchids #plantcare

What’s this?? Buds on my rehab Dendrobium Royal Chip!? This orchid has always looked leggy and sad ever since I cut it away from the dying mother plant. But apparently looks can be deceiving! 😁💕 #plantsky #orchids #orchidsky #dendrobium #orchid #rehabplant

New leaf on my Hoya Gunung Gading! Grown from single leaf cutting like most of my collection, GG is a woody stem Hoya which are often very slow growers but it’s worth the wait! #plantsky #hoya #hoyas #hoyaheads #plantlover #hoyasky

Here she is btw! Some mechanical damage but the price was a total steal from a local grower. Such a cutie and very splashy! Highly recommended if you like small, round leaves!
