I was expecting to find thrips here on my Alocasia Stingray but found this tiny slug-like bug - it appears to be responsible for the black spots (there's one forming on its posterior!)
-
Any ideas of what it is? (Also, I'm having too much fun with a macro lens)

Two growth points on this Monstera vine! 2️⃣ This is one of the cuttings in plain water. The cuttings in sphagnum moss and Leca clay balls haven't had any growth but they're still alive. Observations continue!

I'm watching you, baby leaf! Patiently waiting to see how the Anthurium plowmanii gets its ruffles!

Anthurium owners, how long does it usually take to go from bud to fully grown leaf?
Weeks?
Months?

Today, in partnership with @aphriainc’s social impact platform @plantpositivity, I’m going to run through the ABC of plant appreciation and the different ways plants can bring positivity into our lives and become more than just a décor item on a shelf (or hung on a wall)
-
Aesthetics – plants are pleasing to the eye AND mind. While you might initially buy them for décor, if well cared for, plants can convey vitality, signaling that the space is conducive to growth, which enhances our mental and physical health. Think of it as an indoor garden: pleasing to the eye but ever-changing.
-
Biology – plant life is fascinating. We can marvel at their biology: their unique survival strategies and reproduction abilities like propagation. My staghorn fern outgrew its first mounting board and, rather than separating its pups, I decided to re-mount it to a larger board.
-
Companionship – plants are friends. With time, you can develop a real connection to your plants, as I have with this staghorn fern – a long-time botanical companion!
-
Enjoy your plants on each of these levels, Aesthetics, Biology, and Companionship, and you will unlock the long-lasting joys and rewards that houseplants have to offer!
