I want to join a Discord server about orchids.  Anyone know of one?

[yugimews-garden]

Well, the marimo-jar Paph didn’t make it, AND some mosquito eggs found their way into the jar.  The marimos from that jar, however, are doing excellently and have been moved into a tank with an Anubias nana and a bubbler because I can.

[yugimews-garden]

This was potted but the pot was too much bullshit, so...

[yugimews-garden]

The K-Lite fertilizer water doesn’t seem to be helping the marimos in any noticeable way so far, but it doesn’t appear to be hurting them either.  And the Paph’s still kicking in this setup (way better than sitting bare-root for literally months because I had to make sure there were no more mealybugs and was afraid to do anything with it in case there were)

I wanna get these and put ‘em in a fairy garden or something

Orobas! Gearing up for the Kickstarter next month… one left to show off!

Tumblr wouldn’t let me make my detailed marimo experiment post, so for now I’m just gonna post my new mini violets

maybe I’ll get a better pic with my phone when it’s charged, because my regular camera just does not play nice with light-colored flowers (or I just haven’t found the right setting for that anytime in the 10 or so years I’ve had this camera)

A baby from a sick marimo, after being sat in fertilizer water for... like a week, I think. We'll see how the AV leaf does in this, too.

I THOUGHT THIS DIED OVER THE WINTER BUT IT'S COMING BACK aaand covered with mealybugs... SIGH...

[yugimews-garden]

An experiment with marimos in some K-Lite fertilizer water I had already mixed up.  This stuff’s supposed to be really good for especially water-loving orchids, so let’s see how it does for aquatic plants.

more remodeling for the water fuzzies

that little cluster of plastic plants on the right, those glow in the dark

[yugimews-garden]

so what if I were to, like... sell marimo tanks like this on etsy? I do want to make more of them, and I know where to get the marimos...

I appear to have a basal keiki! It's way too fat to be a spike!

when you want the fish tank aesthetic with actual living things but smaller and lower maintenance than what would be acceptable for any fish
