Dream Hoya Etsy Unboxing | Chatty updates + (more) new plants & products | Etsy haul
(11/22/24)
Hey guys! Just posting an update about our questionable Anthurium Wendlingeri x ! Unfortunately, we did have root rot and a very sad small root system as well as rot that was spreading through the cataphyll. I messaged the seller who was happy to approve a case for refund through Etsy, so I will update once again once that gets processed!

    If you want a philodendron that will size up huge without a moss pole, try the melinonii. I have this plant and the black cardinal. They are upright philodendrons and the melinonii is huge now and the black cardinal is working on it. 😊

    Congratulations on getting married 👏🏽 You can snap a pic of the little plant you got and run it through Google image search and it will tell you what your plant is.. that's how I figure out some of the cacti plants that look the same, 😂 It can be very confusing. I'm sorry you got some damaged plants, hopefully with a little TLC they'll recover nicely .. 🙂

    They are complex hybrid phalaenopsis. There are so many hybrids it will be hard to name them. Species phalaenopsis you mostly can only buy from orchid nurseries. The hybrids are easier to care for.

      @ there are many species of Phals most of the true species are fragrant and many have modeled leaves with cool patterns. There is another section of Phals the summer blooming type they have different shaped flowers on short spikes that are fragrant more vivid colors.

    Looks great but the elephantotis’s shield frond is supposed to be pointing upward (it’s designed to catch debris in the wild to create growing medium) the platycerium should be able to adjust but it will prevent it from sizing up for a long time!

    I’ve got 4 big jungle cactus, just picked up a Beavertail I’ve never seen before, a few more smaller ones, toats obsessed, I want a curly sue so bad!! Edible fruit! This was a VERY chatty vid! lol I’m here for the plants lady! lol Any scindapsus I get has nice beautiful leaves at first, then gives me sparse small leaves on long vines, she gets lotsa light so I dunno why! I’m not buying them anymore

    • @leaveswithles
      @leaveswithles 8 днів тому

      I love jungle cactus so much now! Their growth pattern is just so different and absolutely gorgeous!! I had that same problem with my Scindapsus argyraeus which is why it took me so long to get into them after getting rid of that one. I’ve been putting them all on poles which they love and they haven’t really been doing that weird runner thing but this exotica is the first one I’m growing without a pole so we’ll see 🤔

  • @sonyad.5942
    @sonyad.5942 12 днів тому

    My Scindapsus Exotica was my favorite plant for a long time and it is still high on my list! It is getting very long, so I need to cut it back because I don’t know where to put it where it can extend fully. I got a couple of half price plants in the pretty pots on clearance at Lowe’s a month ago, a Scindapsus Argyraeus and a lemon lime Maranta, both still in great shape! Your begonia is very exotic looking! I have a spotted angel wing begonia that is almost effortless and a begonia amphioxus that is always at the brink of death! 😂

    • @leaveswithles
      @leaveswithles 11 днів тому

    hi there less!! i think the lighting looks good, it could be a little bit brighter but thats just personal preference (: it‘s so fun to see people getting into (jungle) cacti because they’re just so fun and it‘s so special coming into a house where there‘s cacti trailing down!! i also bought the epiphyllium guatamalensis for 23€ this summer from a big gartencenter and it even gave me a tiny little fruit, i think you could also eat that!! 🌟😗 have a great weekend 🙂‍↕️

    Nice Hoyas 🤩 If the leaf shape of your Hoya Carnosa Nova Ghost is “messed up” it could be a different variety. The Nova Ghost is supposed to be the one with normal shaped leaves 😅. I’d recommend Hoya Silver Dollar and maybe “one or 2” the silver Lacunosas, no need to get them all (I have a Louisas silver which grows very evenly and has slight raised venation, white pearl which in the right light has a nice shine and Krohniana silver cause its heart shaped) But everything comes in silver these days or so it seems 😅

      @leaveswithles Yes, I brought 2 Summer Glory from Lowe's Clearance rack. Got them home and scratched my head ( what was I thinking🤔. Thanks for tackling this video because it's helpful because I live in an apartment where I've had to become creative as well as mindful of the reality of the living space that I have my in.

    Thank you for putting out the extraordinary effort to talk about each of your plants and letting us look at them!! I have a similar eclectic large collection. I have several more maranta. I love them. Fewer alocasia. I love them and they mostly don't thrive for me. You might be the only person who loves pellonia like I do. Same with syngonium llano carti road. I love that plant. I too have many Hoya. Many philodendron and peperomia. I have a gorgeous yellow philodendron Warzewskii.(Sp). I do agree with your outro. Literally noone takes an interest in my individual plants. Visitors just say, "WOW. A lot of plants. " So nice to meet each one of your plants. Not to mention the stunning Vash. Your dachshund mix did not show up in this video. I have 3 tiny puppy mill rescues. Anyway!! Thank you. I saw this in three sittings and greatly appreciated your gorgeous collection.

      Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it! It sounds like you have a beautiful collection- I love the warscewiczii esp the neon color. The mature leaves are extraordinary, similar to the radiatum which I can’t wait to see mature! Also, Stark (the dachshund mix) makes a guest appearance in my recent collection updates/walkthrough video 😉 At least us plant people appreciate each others collection!! 😄
