This is Figgy, my fiddleleaf ficus. I got it about two years ago at 12" tall, now it's about 4' tall and is going to be the centrepiece of my dining room until the elephant ear matures.
https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/xE46xN201u.jpg got hooked up fat with this one cause I know the dude who works at the garden store, mother fuckers trying to sell this for like $200 retail but that's at a super bougie place so it's intentionally overpriced but I didn't even pay a quarter of that. She is beautiful, it was love at first sight, I love her
Very fuckable dracenea. Hopefully next year I can get mine to grow vertically. It's been so slow to take off.
They are special, the trick I found that seems to work is when your high on mushrooms to hold a leaf and tell her how beautiful and proud you are of her. She really likes that it seems
They're good and not bad. Who needs to decorate or furnish their house if they can just put another plant in that space?
Thank you kindly pard'ner. It nearly died to root rot earlier in the year but it's finally starting to recover enough to keep its big leaves mostly healthy. Hopefully I can make it dummy thicc and have it as a standing tree.
:fidel-salute: nice recovery. I’ll take some pics of my greenery and post here some time.
Currently trying to get my succulents through the winter and it’s been a tough task.
Figgy is a king and your pachira is looking good.
My apartment balcony has a "Mystery Corner" that sometimes gives me new plants when it rains. Because it's right under the roof, random seeds and spores get washed into any pot you leave there. So far I've been given:
-Two thin, twiggy sprouts with white flowers and many small leaves
-A tobacco plant that's now like 4 feet tall
-A big leafy stalk with broad leaves and purple flower cones that turned out to be an uncommon sage called Salvia Polystachya
But my crowning plant, my most beautiful boi, is the tiny, 5 inch tall Australian bottle tree I bought for $5 and is now triple in size. One day it will be planted in whatever ground I live on.
I'm considering one of those as a replacement for this FLF. Originally it was in my bedroom where I was training it to flow across the window like Van Gogh's almond blossom paintings. That or a snake plant would be a good replacement for the space.
my pothos is thicker than my thumb and has leaves bigger than the monstera
Slowly but surely I'm going to train mine to go across the entire kitchen. Shame there's no real colour variation in its leaves. I didn't think that far ahead and bought a shitty home depot one.
My favorite started as fallen branch off of my mom's jade plant. I planted it around 20 years ago and it is still alive and healthy. I now have a decent succulent collection and it is still my fav.
I've got 2 favs - a big monstera that I found at costco a few months ago. It has just been churning out new leaves ever since I brought it home. I broke it into 2 separate plants because it was so big.
Also have a big asparagus fern that I transplanted from my great grandparents house years ago. I need to work on propagating so I can share it with the rest of my family.
