Got them through friend, and the seeds looked exactly like the ones from pictures.

I've read on flytrapcare that it takes 4-6 weeks to germinate. It's been 3, so I assume this is random grass.

Reposting from last thread. I have a lipstick plant that I've kept submerged in water for about 2-3 months and it has a clump of roots that vary from 1-2 inches but it appears the node I have submerged is now getting two buds on it that may be stems, I'm wondering if I should leave the plant in water or if I should transfer it into a pot, any tips about moving a plant into soil from water would also be appreciated. I'm thinking of picking up a Drosera Capensis and I'm wondering if anyone here who owns could give me a good place to pick one up?

Why the fuck are all my propagations becoming leggy

Do I need to use a stronger grow light? I'm currently using a standard CFL at a foot away for about 12hrs a day

I love lithops, /plant/, but I've had a hell of a time propagating them from seed.

Has anyone here done it successfully? Any suggestions?

>>2371956

I forgot to add a lithops pic.

>>2371883

Lower the light to 3-6 inches above the plants, and bump up the time to 18 hours a day.

It might also be a crappy soil mix. I find this happens more when the soil is too acidic, and has too much organic matter and not enough clay rich in calcium and other important minerals.

>>2371956
I've sowed seed last year and I have a few seedlings left which are about ~1 cm diameter.
What kind of soil are you sowing into? When do you start encountering problems?
imo my problems started about 3 months after getting 100% germination, they just didn't grow after the initial two or so weeks. It was only after I repotted them that they started growing and getting their first true leaves.

>>2371988

All of the seed packets I had came with instructions or print-outs. they all said to put a layer of fine sand over some cactus-formula potting soil, and to place the seeds just under the surface of the sand, then mist occasionally.

I tried moist cactus soil under the sand, then fairly dry cactus soil, then something in between. I also tried different temps and misting schedules, but no luck.

>>2371993
No luck with what?
Do they germinate? Rot?
And the mix should definitely be moist, at least for the first month or so.
Are you growing with natural lights? Have you tried putting them in a plastic ziploc bag?

I'm here in South Korea and I want to start getting into bonsais. The problem is I am moving back to the states in 2 months and then going on vacation for another 1 month. I would really like to pick up a simple, hardy plant to remember my time here in the land of the Morning Calm. What tropical plant (for indoors) should I look for?

Where did you buy them from? in my experience mesembs germinate very quickly and easily so it might be the seeds that are the problem.
If you live in america or europe you'd be better off ordering from places like mesagarden, cactusstore, succseed or koehres kakteen.
Are you sowing in spring? Sometimes in my experience, succulent seeds can be very stubborn about germinating if they aren't contained in a high moisture environment so you should try that. Be aware though that if your soil medium isn't very good this will cause mold to grow which could potentially kill your seedlings/seeds.
Do they look like this?
>>2372188
Looks like an aracaea though i can't id especially without the flower. imo if it's during spring-autumn i'd keep it moist

>>2372555
Some can be a pain to germinate, others germinate very easily but once you've germinated them they grow very easily regardless of the species.
Just try sowing them on top of medium sized sand/grit, e.g not sandpit/builders sand, on top of some decent draining soil and keep them wet.
Definitely worth a try.

what about cacti? or do they count as succulents? i'm very new to /plant/ (own one bolivian torch since last tuesday) and i don't have a lot of space, so i just want something that is easy to take care of and looks interesting

>>2373710
Cacti and succulents are among the easiest plants to propagate through cuttings.
For example, crassula ovata will root when placed in slightly moist to dry soil almost every time. I believe the same is true for most cacti, but I have little experience with them. It just sucks to grow them from seed, it takes forever, some succulents rarely seed. Some bamboo is not known to seed at all, or seed infrequently. It's more common to take cuttings, but growing from seed is less impractical imo.

>>2373734
>>2373710
Forgot to mention, succulents and cacti are great starter plants. I believe bamboo is more commonly cultivated outdoors, although lucky bamboo (Dracaena braunii, not true bamboo) takes quite well to indoor growing.

My house has a nursery uphill behind it. This past winter we had heavy rains that ended up killing most of the grass and plants in my backyard. I suspect it was weed killer washed down from the nursery, but I'm not sure if it works that way.
Regardless, there was an ugly patch of dirt back there next to my shed. I filled it with native plants and wildflower seeds (California poppy, California bluebell, etc) about a month and a half ago and the growth has been fantastic. The black sage in the back has more than doubled in size.
It's right next to my bedroom window and it smells fantastic at night.

Also got this awesome Salvia Desperado from a local nursery for a big discount (moving sale). It's supposed to be a hybrid between salvia apiana and salvia mellifera.Hoping it keeps the look of the apiana with the durability and fast growth of the mellifera. So far I've had little luck growing apiana in my yard even though basically every other kind of native salvia thrives in it.

>>2374026
>had very little luck growing plants in my backyard

Well it is just hard packed dirt anyways.

>>2373710
Nah ignore that idiot, succulents aren't just limited to crassula and it's far more interesting and cost effective to grow from seed than it is to grow from cacti/succulent cuttings.
you should try out mixed species genus mixes like these http://www.cactusstore.com/category_63/Cacti-Seed-Mixes.htm or these http://www.cactusstore.com/category_76/Succulent-Seed-Mixes.htm if you're a beginner and not really fussed about knowing species/locality of seed collection.
I'd recommend you try easier species like mammilaria or ferocactus but it'd depend on whether you're growing indoors or not. From my experience non cacti succulents grow far better in doors than cacti do so if that's what you're limited to I'd suggest not growing cacti, especially not a trichocereus like the bolivian torch is, they grow pretty tall and fast.
For succulent seeds i'd recommend trying lithops, aloinopsis, titanopsis or faucaria. All relatively fast growing, obviously not as fast as weed succulents though.

I have lots of large bushes of various other kinds of sages that grow easily in the same soil. White sage so far has been the only kind that doesn't do well even though it's native to the area.
Pic related is the front yard, which is the same kind of soil.

>>2374044
thanks for the advixe!
the problem is that i live in the netherlands and only have a balcony, i can put the cacti out there when it's sunny but i'm mostly limited to growing indoors (hoping to move to a place with a garden in july/august though.
Do you think the bolivian torch will die inside? or will it just become too big? i kind of like the idea of having a huge cactus in my room desu and if it gets to big i guess i could always divide it into smaller cuttings or just consume it.
It's just about 10cm for now anyways, i'll try to post a pic from my phone

I would recommend everyone stop by their local Lowe's every few days and check out the clearance rack, if they have one.

My local Lowe's puts all their plants out for $1 or $0.50 as soon as the flowers on them begin to die. The plants are still healthy but they aren't as presentable.

Just a tip, I don't know if every Lowe's does this but mine does.

Where the hell can I buy a Chinese Elm that's not a shitty overpriced "bonsai"? I thought this plant was fairly common but I haven't been able to find a single one.
It's kind of annoying how hard it is to find trees regarded as common or uninteresting. For example this Trident Maple. I had to drive over an hour to a nursery who only grew them as rootstock to get one. I did manage to get it for only $5 though. Would've bought more, but I didn't want to take advantage of their hospitality for agreeing to sell me one. I'm tempted to grow a bunch of Chinese Elm from seed, because seeds are cheap and plentiful, but it's time consuming.

Then those cups are really popular, mr Tomato.
I've watered mine about once a week since I transplanted em to those bigger pots.
There's a lot of debate over that. Some claim it doesn't make a difference and in a year topped vs non topped look the same.
I'm hoping to keep mine stocky and bushy, and eventually, should I manage to keep em alive through the summer, to make some into bonsai, so I think it will help my purpose.

Flytraps were thriving tho, started with one, and then I found out you could just pull a trap off the bulb when repotting, it would have just a few roots, but that was enough to get a whole new plant started.
And I had some sundews that spread themselves to the other pots, heh. Cute tiny plants, just a few mm high.

It will be ok, do not worry.
It's a Jade, so water, wait until its completely dry for some days (this depends on the season) and water again.
It'll do better if you place it under direct sunlight for some hours.
The fallen leaf it's almost guaranteed to become a new plant.

My cephalotus started developing a flower stem. Let's see how it does, I hope it grows healthy, I've had bad experiences with these picky sonofabitches.

Ah, thanks bro! It's going on summer, is it supposed to catch as much sun as possible or just the few hours?

This is another one that I cut off of its dying mother, seems to do well. Have no idea what it is or where it came from (nor do I know basically what any of my other plants are) so I just water it all the time heh. Any tips? Anyone know what it is?

Thanks. Any tips on how to look after it? Can I cut the little red leaves?

>>2377105
Just standard cactus procedure, high light but reasonable watering (make sure you get a right balance). Not sure if the offshooty bits can be removed, personally I'd leave them until it's settled in.

My jade plant has red dots on the surface of its leaves. Not black, nor brown but red. What is this?

What's a good perennial sundew that won't go dormant every year that wouldn't mind spending a week every so often outside during the summer? I live in southern Indiana.
>>2377313
Not an expert but I do believe it is normal for Jade plants to produce red areas usually on the tips, if it continues to get worse then you could reduce the light the plant gets.

>>2376868
well its a little easier to find plants that cats will just ignore because it seems everything is on a list somewhere. i no bamboo is bad and tempting to some cats. it could be on the list because the tuber is poisonous and your cat wont eat that. my cat regularly eats dracaenas which as listed as poisonous but doesn't seem to hurt him. for something like the picture you might want to try a greenhouse that specializes in gesneriads. or read this page http://plantsarethestrangestpeople.blogspot.com/2009/04/houseplant-toxicity-week-part-6-safe.html

Bottom right leaf turned yellowish and hanged down. The whole plant feels a bit squishy to the touch. URGENT HELP PLS

>>2378712

Just showing stress I think. I'm somewhat of a newb, but I've seen similarly transplanted seedlings react to new conditions, then recover.

I believe basics in this situation are: don't overwater, partial sunlight, keep steadily warm, no fertilizers and once you water, it's gotta be stagnant (but clean) to minimize whatever comes with the tap water (chlorine?). Good luck!

The first time I've made an honest effort at growing something and it gets fucked up.

If the pig spared your melons, it would have been a cat, rabbit, armadillo, squirrel, or some other force of nature to breeze through and ruin everything.

Yeah, they probably weren't the best beginner plant or in the safest location.

Nah, watermelons are pretty easy to grow and they like hills. The big thing to really watch out for is hoping it doesn't rain too much and cause them to split open.

If it's devoid of nutrients and thoroughly washed, I guess so. And as I'm sure you've already gleaned from Google, you need to keep the capensis' pot in a tray of water at all times (you'll quickly learn how much of a vile noxious weed it is if you can be bothered to crack the basics). Enjoy.

Damn son, is this your first day on the internet? It means something to the tune of "reveal the personally identifying information of," or other info that can be used to find it.

Bruhs, when I was a kid I had a few carnivorous plants, and got all my info from old library books, because the internet wasn't really a thing yet.
My venus traps and some drosera did pretty well, and my mom kept a nephentes alata alive for quite some time.
I want to get back into em now that I live on my own, starting out with a flytrap maybe. My local garden center had some for sale, but they were in horrible condition, can such plants be saved, or should I start somewhere else?

Wow! This one has some magnificent blooms it seems.
Thank you!

>>2380882
sorry but I don't grow indoors so I can't really offer any good recommendations. I'd imagine epiphytic cacti would be good to grow, for example schlumbergera, rhipsalis or hatiora. You could also try looking for euphorbia's suitable for indoors growth or hoya's.
I saw a photo years ago of a huge euphorbia trigona that was grown indoors that looked very healthy but I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Just be careful that you don't get any of the sap on you. At best it'll just cause a rash and at worst cause you a myriad of health problems.

You can do either, leave it in the water a little while longer and see what the new growth does or plant it and barely cover the new growth with soil. If they are roots they will go down, if they are new shoots they will grow out of the soil in a few days. Sorry no one has replied. Tbh it sounded like something you could figure out yourself. Anyway hope your plant does well.

Any basic stuff about em I should know? Does anyone happen to know the exact species? I live in Belgium and they do just fine outside in all kinds of conditions, some were even forgotten in a flooded container for a few months, and they just kept trucking on.

It's cool you got a plant that's been alive since the Victorian era. Where did you buy a cutting of that anyway?

>>2381553
You generally can't buy the old hybrids, rather trade with others who have cuttings to spare.

Never had Pleiospilos but Lithops are easy mate... just make sure you don't water over winter at all (though I'm pretty sure that's a general rule for most succulents anyway)

I'll be working on branch structure over the next couple years. Next year I may try an air layer to remove the graft mark and shorten the tree a little bit more. Picked it up as nursery stock last october.

Any recommendations for a trailing plant that would do well in a west facing window? I have a large windowsill and I want something to drape down from above.

>>2381669
Get a pothos. Those are impossible to kill.

>>2379822
It probably needs succulent fertilizer since it likely used up all the nutrients in the potting soil. If I buy succulent here where I live in Italy I can just stick them in the ground and they grow quickly. I guess they like the climate here or something.

Those leaves won't ever be dewy again. Its fine because it'll make new leaves quickly.

It's cute as heck, however as well as it seemed to work for the first year, after a while of being neglected while I was away, the poor thing died back a lot. Now, it has grown loads of new leaves, but they are all right at the top, and huge, with a little tiny stalk. The plant is now very top heavy and wobbily. I'm concerned it's going to snap itself.

>>2382250
You are probably not going to need to repot this year as those plants underdeveloped root systems for plants their size

Help anons. So I have this Salvia cutting and it was growing really well up until my dumb ass thought it would be a good idea to put a little liquid fertiliser in the bottle for misting it. The leaves curled up and are fucked and the bottom is this dark colour. I have since repotted it in damp soil and been using clean water to mist it in the hopes of unfucking it.

Is there anything else I can do or is it fucked?

Thank you. My main concern is that there isn't enough light. My window is south-facing but as you can see in this picture there is a large soft maple outside that does make it somewhat shady in the evening. I was tempted to use a ceramic fixture I have like pic related with a fluorescent bulb but I really don't want to burn the plant. Do you think it would be best to move the plant downstairs in the morning to an east facing window and then move it back upstairs in the evening?

Any of y'all know what this is? Thought it was milkweed but the monarch caterpillars won't touch it. I have an aptly named butterflyweed in my backyard that's now home to dozens of monarch caterpillars and it's on its last legs, so I got this from my neighbor because it looked really milkweed-sequence. I put two large caterpillars on it a few hours ago and they've just been stressfully crawling around looking for home and they haven't touched it.

anyone bought seeds on chinese online marketplaces like alibaba?

>>2375823
You can bury the stem to straighten it up, it will grow roots which provides a strong Base for the plant

>>2383561
General consensus is that you shouldn't. Never buy from Chinks man, fuck them. They're like little yellow kikes, but instead of just overcharging for crap, they also rip you off, you'll almost never get what you paid for.

My Aloe Vera keeps bending/kinking at the leaves, this won't stop and it's really frustrating. I tried searching online but I really couldn't find anything. The bends don't kill the plant but they look like shit

Yes you can so long as the fruit/veg is not a hybrid variety. I have saved chilli pepper, strawberry and melon seeds and grown them successfully. Dry the seeds out on some paper and just germinate them when you are ready.

Anyone know a good palce to get peat and sand in the UK?

>>2383663

Yes, it is. I got it as nursery stock because I was looking for the specific cultivar 'Sharp's Pygmy', as it has some pretty good characteristics for bonsai. These are grafted; if you look closely you can see the awkward bump in the tree where the graft line is. Because graft lines are considered ugly, I'm looking at air layering next year to get rid of it, which means cutting a ring around the trunk just above the graft line all the way down to the heartwood, placing a bag filled with sphagnum moss in there and encouraging new root growth with root hormone. Typically done in May, so a year from now I'll be pretty nervous hoping that works. I've tried cuttings from this this year, but haven't gotten one to root (tried three).

hmmm... Does this guy need more light? This is the first leaf that has grown in under my care and while the edges are red-tinted, the leaf is turning towards my window and is pretty long. Color seems to match its old leaf though...

Is it possible this deformation is just the effect of the trauma the plant suffered during its time in the florist's shop before I bought it?

>>2384111
It depends. The stuff my dad uses in his lab actually works, but he has to purchase it from a bulk supplier that only sells to universities and other large commercial users. I'd imagine that over-the-counter rooting powder can't possibly boost your chances of root development for a cutting that much, but it depends on the kind of plant you take cuttings from. Plants with hard stems are harder to coax into rooting since their cells are less malleable.

That's a "sugar leaf."
Once a plant gets to leaf set 2, it sucks the life out of it's two starter leaves/old shell casings, kills the leaf and drops it. It's normal. Ambient/reduced sunlight is best during this time.

I'd warn you to not keep dionaea with sarracenia and drosera, they want less water and can rot if you keep them constantly moist.
What I do is to put them in pots that are big (you already did that), water them, wait until the surface of the substrate is dry (but never let the bottom dry out) and then water again.

Alos the same for mexican pinguicula and keep them (the pinguicula I mean) with filtered sunlight, they don't tolerate direct exposure too well.

Buy from ebay sellers, you actually might get the right species.

I once bought quite a few seeds from aliexpress (all kinds of stuff, 20+ species) for fun because they're selling the rarest shit ever in bulk and I knew it's all a scam. What I got was absolute bullshit. The seeds were just random trash they packaged up and sent out. Sometimes the seeds had a similar shape as the real thing but were a completely different species other times they weren't related at all.

I even set up a blog where I presented the advertised species and what actually grew from the seeds. I eventually got bored of it and deleted everything though.
