      Definitely ferns.
      When I think "jungle" I think lush forest floor. Ferns, lycopodium, mosses, et cetera.
      I actually have a few norfolk island pines because they look like giant lycopodium.

    You have truly spoken the truth about orchids! I only grew Phalaenopsis in my home due to never knowing when I was moving with my husband’s job. But in 2018 after he retired and we purchased a house….. I started branching out. I had great self control until last year (2020) when I went from about 20 orchids to now having over 100! Love pothos of all kinds and have a Burgundy elastica that is becoming a monster! My ludisia discolor just had her two spikes cut. If/when you repot yours, put it in a shallow pot as the are horizontal growers

    I have a pothos from my great grandpa that had zero variegation on it until I took a cutting. I have the cutting growing out of a fishtank and thought that's what was causing the variegation. Then I noticed all of the new growth on the main plant is variegated too.

    I’m fairly new to plants but doing well with them. I believe a lot of my success is from using “fish tank water” . I have 5 planted fish tanks. The water is dechlorinated and has lots of nutrients. For plants that don’t do well with unfiltered water perhaps buy water dechlorinator from a pet store. Only a few drops can work in a gallon of water!

    I have fiddle leaf and never had any issues. The only time they loose leaves is when I cut them off. I just recently moved to tropical Queensland from sub tropical Sydney and they grew a foot in a couple of months. Bit disappointed you did not jnclude hoya. All my hoya have tripled in size in two months here and look so tropical to me. You mentioned pothos, all mine have gone absolutely out of control here. Really all my plants have. Naturally high humidity is like grow juice for most plants.

    It's been 6 months and the FLF's are still going strong. Barely any attention or water, and they're just happy as clams.

    • @MarisaAndChew
      @MarisaAndChew 2 роки тому +2

      They want all the light and humidity. Like 8 hours of bright light a day and a humidifier, and they don't like to ever dry out but don't want to be wet. I believe in the wild they grow along rivers and marshes. They're also prone to spider mites. I've heard they're excellent for bathrooms if the bathroom has large windows. Otherwise in front of glass doors or large windows. I used to have one right next to the fish tank that had lights on 10 hours a day (planted tank so plant lights) and it did great, then I took my tank down and I lost my palm pretty quickly.
