lmao it made me happy to see my dad check his plants and then water them

I think it's really a dad thing. I mean, my mum is more into plants than my dad but all of my gransd are really into plants, especially my grandad, though my other grandad was also very much into plants, I mean, he was a farmer/agriculturist/plant working person? I don't know what it's called in english oop.

Interesting, botanist?

I don't think so? He worked with the whole watering system, I think.

I thought it was a philodendron birkin at first. It's really pretty.
I'm so sad this thread died so quickly.

Oh shit I didn't know that was the same thing, I've never heard it be referred to as such.

Do you like plants? Yes
Do you have any plants? I have quite a few outside and two inside
What is your favourite plant? I don't really have one 🤔 I love hybrid/rare ones though
Is there any plant you are currently searching for? Not really, I would love to have a southern magnolia but they're exspenive and I'd have nowhere to put it lmao
What is your newest plant? Its been a while since I got new one and i can't remember what the last I got was called

Dude I really want to get a vft (and weirdly so does my dad) but the ones I saw in my local plant shop looked kind of sad so I'm worried I can't take care of it. Is it finicky?
Oh also what plants do you have?

Idk I bought it today so only time will tell, I bought it in hope it will eat some of the small flies that are here.. idk how it handles the arctic winter.. we'll see.. They sold it here so I mean if they sell plants knowing well they will die the 6 weeks without sun?? Rude? Although I have seen some plants who demand a lot of light sold here and I'm like brUH

Anyway let's think..
I have:
Dieffenbachia tropic snow
Dieffenbachia Marianne?? Maryanne?? I think that one
Monstera deliciosa
Rhaphidophora tetrasperma
Chinese money.. tree?? plant??
A small schefflera, idk if it is a specific sub-species or just small..
ZZ plant
Snake plant
Some kind of snake plant resembling thing that I separated from my mother's motherplant
Peperomia.. raindrop?? teardrop?? idk some drop thing
Silver pothos
Satin?? pothos, it's like the silver pothos but brighter and with larger leaves
Neon pothos
Chinese evergreen Maria
Venus fly trap

@Alam

Rude is putting it lightly, if they're selling plants to people knowing they will most likely die that's just fucked. I mean, people should know better but they don't so they should take that into consideration, innit?
I really want a rhaphidophora tetrasperma but I only see them sold in big-ish pots and I don't have room for that shit. I know they grow pretty quickly but I mean, I could always propagate cuttings and give them to people I know. I really want to be that person that just, gives you plants.
By chinese money tree do you mean pilea peperomioides?
There are so many scheffleras down my street. they are honestly one of the most boring house plants to me, but I see why people like them.
By silver pothos and satin pothos do you mean scindapsus pictus exotica and argyraeus respectively? Those are lovely, I have cuttings of an exotica propagating in water right now, the leaves don't look too happy (they're all curled up) but I bet once they root a bit more they'll be fine.

When I travel home for Christmas I'll have to leave a light on to ensure that my plants get some light over those weeks, because yeah.. absolutely no sun for almost a solid 2 months might be heavy on plants.

I've only seen them in rather small pots here, like.. 12 cm? Yeah 12 cm sounds right. Mine is growing like aggressively it's insane. I bought it in January, had to up-pot it in April because the roots were just.. insane outside the nursing pot. It has again started growing out of the nursing pot but we are entering winter so I don't have to stress with it. I've seen most people want to have it growing upwards, to ensure that the leaves get large, but I quite like it as a more.. hanging plant tbh. Hopefully it limits the growth a bit as well.

Yes, peperomioides, I didn't remember the name and just went with one of the common names I've heard for it in English. Mine is very small, like 5 cm? pot or something. It is in theory root-bound but it still gets new growth so I want to like hinder that it gets massive immediately.

Yeah, I didn't intend on buying one because I thought like ugh boring but it looks stunning alongside my furniture, in its pot, and with the other plants. Also, for being a tree it doesn't drop leaves that much and that's a huge plus imo.

Yes, those. Mine are amazingly happy tbh, like my argyraeus is getting so long, if it starts hanging over my TV I will have to cut it back, and give those cuttings to a friend of mine and she seemed really happy hearing that's an option. My exotica is quite new, when I bought it it wasn't really veining at all so when I returned home after 3 weeks in my hometown and saw that it is starting to vein and hang downwards?? Happy!!

My most miserable plants after being left for 3 weeks is my monstera (but to be fair it was miserable to start with as it's still angry about being left for 5 weeks this spring.. Some of the leaves are just horrible and will die, I'm sure. But it has gotten 4 small new leaves during summer so I know it will recover with time and actually not thirsting to death lol

(Sorry for tagging I just don't know how frequent people check the FT threads lol)
