[sarahgrows]

Brought some more plants upstairs for my bedroom 💚 I have a grow light to put up but these girls will be fine for now. My Aglaonema has thrived since day one so I knew she'd be perfect for here. It feels really nice to have some more life in my den 🌱

Welp since I’ve bought new stuf for Loki and I’ve been cleaning I’m redoing his altar and I have tons of shit coming for him

Including a potted plant I got a discount for in a app (def recommend it if u walk a lot it’s called Treecard and with a craft amount of steps u can plant a tree and u get stars from ur trees for discounts and stuff ! U can use my code lael-hpi and or the link )

And he picked it himself I tried to ask if he wanted a different plant and showed him a new one and with out hesitation he said “no❤️”

Then went back to the plant he picked -Alocasia Reginula 'Black Velvet'

And it’s cute and from what ur says it’s gonna be easy to take care of too

“If you are fond of all black foliage, this is the variety for you. These plants usually stay small and classy! Alocasia or Elephant’s ear is a large, evergreen perennial from damp sites in south and southeast Asia. It’s large arrow-shaped leaves come in a variety of green hues overlaid with splotches of black, purple, or aged copper. They love warm humid environments so keep your Alocasia away from air conditioners and cold drafts”

I mean look how pretty!!!

Just some photos from today's fun.

I repotted my Amydrium today. She will need a moss pole eventually I believe but for now I'm using a bamboo stick (and a Bingo ring, cute little decor for my son) I'll actually be keeping that moss pole watered and alive. I could with my philos but I don't really think they need it, just some support. But I also could be wrong and have no idea what I'm talking about 🤷🏻‍♀️

Found a really cool leaf on my Chinese Evergreen. None of the other ones look like that. I also repotted both of my Alocasias and was gifted with many corms! My Black Ninja gave me three large rooted ones that are now in soil in a glass dish. The others are not rooted and I'm going to try them in water. Google said there's different ways to do it so I'm trying this one!

My PPP has 3 new growth points! I'm so excited for them to fully emerge. The anticipation since I cut her has been incredibly high.

Lastly I repotted my Black Cardinal Philo. There's two in there, how I brought them home from the nursery. When I cleaned all of the dirt off of her roots they were healthy and very much intertwined. I really like the fullness of them together so they are still besties.

I’m pretty sure my alocasia black velvet will be the pachyphytum oviferum of tropical plants for me. Basically the one I struggle with.

I think I may need to get a humidity meter along with a humidifier. I think the room it’s in is pretty humid as it is so for now I’ll just get the meter to be sure.

But if it ends up not being a humidity problem then it might be the fact that it came in a starter plug which the seller said not to remove. Being new to tropical plants I just went with what the seller suggested but I may repot this tomorrow and carefully remove the plug. I just have to wait for my orchid bark to be delivered.

It’s so weird because my alocasia silver dragon is in the same growing conditions and it’s doing perfectly fine. It even has a starter plug as well. But I don’t think it needs as much humidity as the black velvet.

I don’t know, we’ll see what happens once I make these changes.
